Re: Do we all use more electricity ?

Some of them block the change if you owe them more than £100 - and have
been
known to make it almost impossible to pay it off.  I had this with an
online-only account - they took two weeks to answer any email which made it
very difficult.  They blocked the switch twice.  In the end I told them I
was moving.  They wanted the money straight away then ;-)
