For how long though, a week maybe before you switch? It's likely they will ring you in advance and offer to extend your current deal for another year.If I stay beyond the anniversary BG will start charging me their very high normal rates.

Depending on when your meter was last read you can end up getting a decent number of units charged at the out of contract rate.For how long though, a week maybe before you switch? It's likely they will ring you in advance and offer to extend your current deal for another year.
How do you organize that? Last few times I have switched a bit after anniversary date and I'm looking to learn how others manage this.Can you not switch on the anniversary date?
I found it difficult to understand the question - maybe if you put in the dates it would help
I have had these calls in the past but they have never been as good as switching to the cheapest on the market.Which is exactly what they did with me so I stayed as their offer was very good but mine was just on electricity. I just diary note it coming up to the renewal each year as I do with all bills.
Good point. I always put my annual usage numbers into a switching site and go with whatever is cheaper.It is worth noting one 'trick' that the providers use.
I was 11 months in to a dual contract when the supplier wrote to me outlining the contract termination date and that I could of course stay with them and I wouldn't lose my discounts.
Fair enough says I,one less thing to worry about.
Then my wife reminded me that I got a €250 cash rebate off the first bill,which of course wasn't going to be repeated.
In reality I was getting a 12% price increase.
You are completely overthinking it, it's very simple and straightforward. Do you know the date that your current deal expires? If so then just go online the following day and switch using one of the switching sites. You'll have to provide meter readings with the switchHow do you organize that?

I want to switch online, typically use one of the switching sites. How many days before my anniversary should I start. If you switch 7 days before will they let you off the early termination fee?

My meters are hard to get at and we get lots of estimated readings. I do a real reading when switching. They apportion some of this units at the higher rate.
I waited till the date of my contract expiry and iniated the switch the day my contract expired.
I switched day of expiry. Maybe it will be better to cancel that one and switch again!.
Watch out for termination fees. For the last two years I have switched on the day my contract was up and on both occasions I was hit with a termination fee. This fee was removed after I questioned it and both companies said it was apparently a technical glitch. Maybe it was an accident but after two years in a row I am a little suspicious.
