Power to the people....

Morning

I'm a bit of a serial switcher - I'll pretty much change every year to a cheaper supplier.

I'll typically use a few comparison websites to see what the cheapest price is then maybe see if I can double up with some cashback from the likes of Quidco or Topcashback too.

Last year I was with Iresa - who, at the time, were the cheapest. I have to confess though since switching from them to Outfox the Market this year, Iresa have been an absolute nightmare to deal with. I had credit on my account and their customer service is so appalling I eventually had to resort to going through the Ombudsman to resolve it.

Sounds like heresy but with my experience with Iresa I'm starting to think the cheapest isn't always the best option!

I used go compare to change to scottish power from Npower and British Gas and the change over was smooth. The problems came when my 1st bill was due. I've had problems with Scottish Power ever since. Sadly, they are the cheapest I can get, so I've just signed back up with them for another year contract. I expect to have more battles with them every time my bill is due.
