Energy Provider ?

Re: Energy Provider ?

I asked a friend who works for EDF about switching to Octopus and she explained that their staff are not that savvy regarding the accounting side of it even though their Kraken system has been adopted by both e.on and EDF.

Kraken ?

Indeed, the accounting system. Named by the Octopus people, no doubt.

yes ,you get a monthly bill approx 2 weeks later they take what you owe /used, all done for you if you want to you can send in the reading from your ihd i think its about 8% cheaper than you paying it by card

mine as an example is billed 18//19th of the month and the the direct debit for the full amount you owe/ used is taken 4/5th of the next month

Re: Energy Provider ?

ask octopus for a variable pay in full direct debit its cheaper than a card payment

This is what I do with edf.Just send in the readings.
I don't want a smart meter as I'm hoping to move.The new owners can make the decision whether they want a smart meter or not.

I would assume that eventually you will have no choice in the matter in the same way phonelines are being unplugged

Re: Energy Provider ?

The problem is that with 6 months of the year needing more heating and light a reasonable usage is bumped up

The estimate I was given was 12 x the 120 I use in the winter

So it was taking the piss and several hundred over my actual usage which in the mild months of November and February was very close to spring and summer amounts

I wasn't having that dave

If you are paying too much and build up a credit you can reduce the DD at next review, it's as broad as it's long, as long as it's cheaper in the end.

Re: Energy Provider ?

So my flexible octopus is coming in roughly the same as their loyal fixed, and with prices set to fall in July again I might just stay on my flexible tariff for now. You can guarantee it will rise next October so I might wait until the summer to fix a deal to get through next winter. I’m sure Putin will do something to make it a bit more expensive too……
