We seem to be changing supplier every year now because new customers always seem to get a better deal. Even if we don't need to change we still do a comparison on uswitch to check that we are still on the best deal.

I never bothered to change my phone supplier, till I noticed how high the prices were, and when I told them I was going they said my high prices were because I had stayed with them but not renewed my contract.... so no reward for being a loyal customer I agreed a new contract with them and my phone and broad charges have been reduced by half of what I was paying!

Twink, I have tried that with Scottish Power but they won't budge on their new tariff.
I have managed to get my BT and Sky accounts greatly reduced!

I heard a report that said Scottish power had decided not to reduce tariffs, but if others do they may regret it..... so their loyal customers will pay more.

Re: Help Please! My Energy Tariff Is Coming To The End Soon

I advise you to join this club (free, of course - what else!).
You log in and give them some details and they search the suppliers who cover your area and provide you with an up to date comparison.

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheapenergyclub

More than that, they keep you up to date if any other supplier offers a better deal. I'd strongly recommend them.

I'm with British Gas for both gas and electricity.

Go on, give them a try. You have nothing to lose.

EDIT: Actually, it seems you don't have to join to get some quotes, but you could join the Moneysavingexpert site free of charge and they send you regular e-mails about all sorts of money saving options.

Hi Artangel, I have just changed to Sainsbury's and I am quite happy with them, we were with EON but found them expensive.

JBR, My son in law says, that is the site he uses.
I'm not sure if l joined that site once, for advice when l was worried, l'd get a parking ticket on private land.

Deylon, lt really does make your brain spin, trying to understand what the other companies are offering and not knowing who to choose!
I haven't got a smart meter...yet! Could your son read the meter for you?

It's a very useful site and Martin Lewis is a highly regarded advisor.
