Guide to Switching service providers

You may be surprised to find a few checks of your current bills see an every increasing amount of charges per month. In many cases it is the loyal customer that is hit hardest but the increases per year to your utility bills. You may also find that when you arranged your telephone, broadband, or mobile phone tariff your deal was suitable to your usage at that time, but now you may find that you are wasting money on the wrong tariff.

There is also the option to swap credit cards - take a look at the mylocalfinance debt management page for information on the best way to manage your debts.

Many switching providers boast anything from 60% to 80% savings on your current bills. This may be true in some cases but judging by our own in house tests you are looking at between 20%-30%, although one of our employees did calculate a 48% saving on her telephone calculation.

One important thing to remember is that switching sites calculate on a more general basis than that of your actual bill. Although most of the comparisons we made on our own bills proved accurate within a few pounds or pence, it is worth remembering you may not save exactly the given savings amount.

Its online, free and fairly quick to check your tariff's so we advise you to take a look, but always approach with caution.
