Energy Company Iresa Ceases Trading
Ofgem has chosen Octopus Energy Limited to take on supplying the customers of Iresa, which went out of business last week.
https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publication...sa-s-customers
Iresa were so bad at customer service that they were blocked from taking on new customers in March (2018).
I had the misfortune to sign up with them in Feb 2017, and after six months it became obvious how poor they were. I bailed out after nine months (Nov 2017).
I had to register a complaint with the energy ombudsman to get a refund of what they owed me at that point.
I did get it eventually, at the end of March this year. Just in time by the look of it.

Re: Energy Company Iresa Ceases Trading
Guess who had his supply with Iresa? Also had an account with GB Energy before that went bust, so it's the second time it's happened to me ! How hum, Octopus Energy sounds cool though 
Another sector where privatisation has failed to deliver for the public.

Getting cut off is the ultimate in going green .

If you have a smart meter they can cut you off remotely. No need to enter the premises.

New supplier takes on the balance, direct debit. No interruption of supply. The downside is it's more expensive ( of course). As soon as I can will be switching again to some other tin pot company. Price is everything and it's the same electricity .

I don't really get all this 'changing supplier' stuff, yes I could possibly save 'up to' £250 a year . . but I can do that by simply smoking 2 cigarettes less every day, or buying a cheaper bottle of brandy weekly.
IMO it isn't worth all the hassle . . and possible future problems when the new supplier turns out to be not quite so good
