Do I need to cancel myself if I am switching supplier?

Usually not — your new supplier arranges the switch. Write only if you are stopping without a new supplier, or if you have been asked to confirm in writing.

How quickly should I get the final bill?

Suppliers normally issue it within a few weeks of the end date. This letter asks for it based on the readings you have given.

Please confirm that the contract will end, send me a final bill based on the readings above, and cancel the direct debit after the end date.

Yours faithfully,

What to look out for

If you are on a fixed-term tariff, an exit fee may apply if you leave early.
Always submit meter readings, and take a dated photo as proof. Without readings your final bill will be estimated.
Moving home? Give your forwarding address, otherwise the final bill will not reach you.
If you have a credit balance, ask for it to be refunded rather than carried over.
