    Has anyone been hassled by this lot passing your number on to factoring companies despite not issuing a final bill for gas. Unsurprisingly they owed me money on elecricity and will owe me on gas too

    They owe me money. The factoring company hassling me all the time

    Yes I have given this gang bad and good reviews in the past depending on how I was getting on with them. I am now at an all time low with them - they are failing to put me on the correct tariff since the start of the year and are thus overcharging me about 20%. Their utterances to correct the situation mean nothing. I thus advise, stay away and mea culpable for any good review I gave them.

    so this lovely bunch have decided to significantly up their prices! Does that mean we can get out of the contract with them sooner without penalty, or have they provisions in the contract that allows them to change the price any time they want?!
    We're changing our energy prices on 26th July 2021

    This is due to a number of market factors leading to increased wholesale prices, which are outside of our control.


    Our electricity prices are increasing by 12.5% and gas prices are increasing by 8.5% on 26th July 2021.


    We hope that you appreciate our efforts and commitment to transparency by keeping you fully informed about our prices.


    At Iberdrola we are committed to bringing you a cleaner energy future, which is why all of our electricity tariffs are 100% green.


    Thanks for being an Iberdrola customer.

    Usually they can up the prices as they see fit, once they give you notice.

    Your choices are suck it up until your contract expires or terminate and pay the early termination fee, which will be detailed in your contract.

    You basically need to get out the contract you have and read the fine print. Its usually €50 early termination fee but you'd have to check it as they can be different.

    Price upping for phone contracts usually means you can switch penalty free. With the price increase are iberola more expensive now?

    The majority of electricity price plans give you a discount percentage off of the "Standard Variable rate".

    So, your "33% discount" is still 33% after the price rise but the "Standard Variable rate" is allowed to increase from say 22c to 24c. So you now have 33% off of 24c instead of 33% off of 22c.

    Thats normal practice in the Irish electricity market and you are still locked into that provider for the duration of your contract eventhough they have increased you effective price... unless you are willing to pay the early termination fee.

    There are a few plans that give you a fixed rate for 12 months but the majority are variable. You'd need to check your contract to be sure.
