Hi,

You can switch but no idea how deep the credit check goes.

Fab news Jay H. These things are often possible in theory but iva-ers can find it a challenge in practice. Could you name the company you transferred to? It could help other posters looking for a better deal.

I had a nightmare switching companies because of a dispute over meter readings, but other than that I was able to change without credit checks

I've recently changed (in the last two weeks) with no problem. All seems to be going through fine. x
