You need to get your parents off that contract, if there is an exit penalty its probably only £30 or something (perhaps find out first before switching to standard rate), don't know the amount of gas and elec they are using but it is almost certain that their bills will be considerably cheaper than that contract if they simply move onto the standard variable rates, its f***ing criminal that Octopus have allowed them to even agree to that fixed price.My parents in their 80s got a bit of a shock. They were paying £110 per month with Octopus and their new contract is £276 per month. Apparently this is reduced from £342 due to being a loyal customer I'm with them also and currently pay £105 per month with my contract due to run out in April.
