One thing I won't have.
I've started checking usage monthly and logging it with my supplier. Fortunately, I stuck with one of the big ones.
Utility supplier gone bust.

I was affected by this a while ago when Green Network Energy went under
We were transferred to EDF.
Problem was that it took AGES.
Good thing was that EDF kept us on the same tariff - it was actually lower than any normal EDF tariff and only available to old GNE customers
I now have to change and EDF have offered something else which is better than anything the comparison site could find
Main problem is that it all took well over 6 months beforeI was officially part of EDF and could log onto my account on their website. Hence didn;t really know what tariff was in detail - and had no way of submitting metre reading so EDF must have been using 'The Force' to work out how much to charge me.
So it has worked out OK - but all the advise says NOT to transfer somewhere else until you are fully over to the new company - hence you are stuck on whatever you are put onto
This is just my experience - putting it here so others can see how it went in case that is useful
(and to moan a bit as well!!!)

I'm in the process of moving from Igloo who've been named as in trouble. Moving tomorrow officially.
We've a big balance in there as they pay 5% interest on balances. Should they go under that'll take some getting back.

WOW - 5%!!!
Do other companies pay interest if you are in credit??

5% may have been a clue that they were not in the best financial health
And I'm switching from Bulb to EDF. Much cheaper bill.

I am trying to get EDF on the blower to switch to. I am with Bulb, who are in the death throes.

I would prefer to be with Bulb or Octopus due to the greener energy stuff - but given the current chaos I'm staying put
I would rather be with EDF which are at least carbon zero (with nuclear) and have the resources to stay in the game
rather than go with a smaller company only to get dumped into a more expensive non-green tariff ina few months - potentially
When this tariff expires I will look for something greener again - hopefully this mess with be sorted by then
(hopefully that is not too politcal - like some thread I have just set to ignore - honestly - some people!!!)

I do wish some of the media wouldn't go 'don't worry you won't get cut off' - it's not like you get special Bulb gas or electricity, it's the same stuff all your neighbours get, you just pay someone else whose 'bought' a certain amount of KWh to sell on. Needs nationalising again (I used to work in the industry). The privatisation was a 'joke' then even worse when 100 different suppliers could sell you your power.
