Thanks to those who used my referral to sign up, turns out im still around 100 away from the top so unless over 100 of you decide to sign up before the end of today looks like I will miss out. Looks like some people have really put alot of effort in to win the Tesla or Jag!

Without meaning to steal your thunder jj, I signed up to these guys a couple of months ago after they were on dragons den https://lookaftermybills.com
I takes all of 2 minutes to sign up. I got an email out of the blue this week telling me my supplier was going to be changed to someone else and it'll save me over £100.

I have been informed that I am 1 more referral away from a guaranteed prize, top three are a different car and I need two more to move into 1st so if anyone is still thinking of changing then have a look at Octopus, I changed from Sainsburys and Octopus are much cheaper and the customer service has been spot on over the last few months, plus we each get £50 credit on the account;

Amazing but true - no cunt seems to know who supplies my gas - so i don't pay for it.
Thank you incompetence as a direct result of privatisation.

What he said.
Changed twice in two years now, very easy saving lots in the process, and a shout out for Peoples Energy who were the cheapest and when I had a problem (with the people I had switched from not turning off the Direct Debit) they answered the phone within seconds, and with a real person as well.
To be fair to the previous mob (Arva Energy) i had also had no problems up to then and they also answered pronto and have promised to sort it out.

Dan, iv had no issues with Octopus at all but when I have had to contact them to ask general questions they have replied within hours and am very impressed with them. They have also been given another companies customers when that company went bust.

From my limited research it seems the cheaper they are the more cuntier they are if you ever have a problem with them. If you're confident there will never be a time you have to interact with the company then go for the cheapest. Bulb and Spark seem to be the worst of these.
Of course the expensive ones have the capacity to be cunts as well.
I switch most years, but have stayed with PFP this year as they've given me a decent cheap/service combo so far. Sainsburys were pretty good when I used them. First Utility were definitely in the cunthouse.
Don't forget to switch via a cashback site rather than a comparison site.

Octopus are fucking cack !!
I agreed with them to change my gas and electric to smart meters in February. They coped ok with the Electric but somebody fucked the paperwork up for the gas and the fitter didn't do it so i had to get them back later to do the switch.
8 months later and they still haven't managed to get the new meter on their system.

Yeah I saw that Buster, don’t think that will happen with Octopus though as they have been given thousands of customers by ofgem earlier this year when another one went bush and they are also the only ones recommended by which and keep winning loads of awards, they are the cheapest for me at the moment anyway and their response time with queries is top notch

I'm with TONIK.
Was dubious at first as I'd never heard of them, but it's the first time I've never switched suppliers after a year.

Changing SPLATT suppliers ....
Anyway, why more people do not change is beyond me - loads to be saved. I switched from EON (utter cunts) to Spark Energy and my annual bill has reduced by 23%.
