Changing energy suppliers

[Harry Bloomfield]

Bit cheeky but... if anyone else fancies switching to Octopus, use my referral link please

Friend referral | Octopus Energy

The UK's most awarded energy supplier. We're doing energy better - for you and the environment.

...and we'll both get £50

I'll have some of that....

I've just compared that against my OVO and, mine is just a smidgen cheaper so, I'll stick.

It hasn't been plain sailing for me with OVO - I had a series of letters from them in quick succession, along these lines...

...so I sent them a cheque for £0.00

I'm with Octopus, they seem ok, but are ignoring my requests for a smart meter.

Same here, but at least with Octopus you get a chance of a lucky dip prize every time you give a reading.

Has anyone ever won anything on this? My first month, I've lost twice!

Never mind, I've only lost once.

Didn't you get a bonus spin, so you could lose again?

No, did I miss something

I won a £1 about 2 years ago, blew it on tumble drying a pair of socks.

That pretty much matches my prize record.

Well, thank you BG. Due to BG's pathetically poor accounting, irregular, and deleted bills - my account with them, despite them recently suggesting I should pay less each month (which I ignored), despite my account being in serious debit. I ended up owing them around £600. No great problem to pay it, but - it would have been nice to know they were about to grab it from my account in advance...

This month I've had Octopus take one initial payment of £165, then their regular £165, BG taking their regular £145, plus the £600 and all within a week. I keep a special account, just for the regular bills, which is now almost bare.

..and I dare say your washing machine washes whiter, on OVO power

No OVO, but OMO....

 

[Koolpc]

Do many suppliers let you pay bill owed every month rather that direct debit fixed amounts?

I’ve been with So Energy for quite a few years.

Can’t be bothered to switch, if I did Octopus would be top of my shortlist

Just stumbled upon this thread and I'm intrigued by the discussion on changing energy suppliers.

You do realise this is a UK site, don't you?
