Can you sign up for the deal on the Bord Gáis site? It shouldn't matter that the unit price doesn't show the upcoming increase.Thank you for the explanation, Bonkers/Switcher are both showing the Bord Gais price after their proposed 1/10 increase, their own site is not! So it's taken into account in the figures I'm looking at, I just had a look at their own site for signing up purposes as the deal is not available to sign up to on the comparison sites and apparently the phone holding times are astronomical for BG!
Yes I'm assuming I can, I just haven't done it yet, will organise myself later this evening to gather the info. It is the same just without the increase being shown which is understandable, why would they show it on their own site!Can you sign up for the deal on the Bord Gáis site?

If it's the same deal as the one shown on Bonkers/Switcher in terms of
then it doesn't matter that the unit rate will increase next month.
- the standing charge
- the unit rate (as it is before the increase)
- the unit rate discount percentage
- any cashback offer
I'm totally confused by the last few posts.Yes I'm assuming I can, I just haven't done it yet, will organise myself later this evening to gather the info. It is the same just without the increase being shown which is understandable, why would they show it on their own site!
No issue at all with prices quoted, it's actually good as Bonkers/Switcher are showing prices including next increase due in October for a few of the providers but obviously the provider, in this case Bord Gais, on their own site just show present price.I'm totally confused by the last few posts.
What is the issue with the prices quoted?
On which site(s?)?
Links to the relevant info would help.
I think you need to be chasing Bonkers on this one. You authorised them to act on your behalf here and sounds like they dropped the ball in initiated the switch prematurely.Have I a leg to stand on in this scenario:
I would say you don't. The last time I used bonkers to switch (~2 years ago) I thought it was pretty obvious that I was completing a switch there and then.Have I a leg to stand on in this scenario:
- Initiated switch through Bonkers 1 week before renewal date.
You can certainly ask, no harm in that. I doubt they'll drop it that easily, but you never know.At same time is there any merit and asking SSE to waive it...im trying that angle with them but their dont seem to be for budging
I think youre right okgo. I did it in a rush that day and prob didnt pay heed to what you outlined. I thought though by entering renewal date i was coveredI don't know why you think you were only 'initiating' a switch and not actually completing your switch. If my memory serves correctly, they even warn you that you might face an early termination fee based on your renewal date so why did you proceed?

They waived the €50 much to my surprise. My well worded email paid off.my defence, essentially, was that i never instructed sse nor bonkers, explicitly, to terminate early.i also pointed out that sse coukd/should have phoned me when they got the instruction from 3rd party to verify it and to just communicate! i also pointed out that i had emailed them around that time stating intention to switch and asked them if there was any incentive to stay. They didnt reply to that email. I stead they terminated my account.I would say you don't.

I agree. They are very goodI’m genuinely sad to leave Energia. Their customer service, app, and billing are all so good. But with a commodity, it’s price that’s the driver.
