how are you finding it,have you fixed,will you manage

I had fixed, but company crashed and we were moved on to Shell with variable rate. Now paying £280 pm. No fixed deals available, but I've noticed that the old £30 exit fees seem to have gone. The Scottish Power one I was looking at was charging £150 for each fuel.

yes some exit fees are 150 dosent encouraage a fix does it

That looks like a very low fixed rate, surprised it's a recent offer. Lower than the Oct price cap

That's a lot lower than the fix I've taken today. Also lower than the October cap prices, so well done!

I'm currently paying £145 a month as I fixed last October for a year. Fix ends when the new cap comes in. I'd be paying £340 a month on the new cap (until January when it's like to go up 50%) but I've fixed today for another year (starting in October) and new DD will be £415. So more expensive for now, but my highest use months will mostly be after the next price rise, so it will save me over £1k over the year.

I can't afford the new price cap rate, never mind the fix, but we will get the government payments so that will help.

We're fixed at £120 per month until the first week in October. I've just fixed at £430 a month. Before the price cap goes up in October we'd be paying £200 a month on the flex rate. Did the "is it worth fixing" calculator on MSE website and yes, it is. At least we will get the £400 grant but even still it's eye watering.
