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.

Re: Notice to end energy contract

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to end my energy contract with you with effect from the earliest date allowed by the notice period in my contract.

Please confirm the following to me in writing: - that you have received and actioned this notice; - the final date on which supply under this contract ends; - a final bill based on the meter readings given above.

I am also cancelling the Direct Debit for this account with my bank with effect from the end date. Please do not present any further collections after that date, and please refund any credit balance on the account to me rather than carrying it over.

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.
