As prices rise tomorrow, we bring back our... Big Energy Switch Event We've the cheapest British Gas fix since 2021, by far the market's cheapest. Lock in 15% under the Price Cap (many save £300+/yr) Plus special deals from top-service provider Octopus & cheap smart prepay from EDF I've waited a long time to write this... welcome to our 1st Collective Switch since the energy crisis. We've managed to get, by far, the cheapest fix available, with a serious saving and it's from a big energy beast. A Collective Switch is a regulated process which allows 'member groups' to invite energy firms to bid to offer special deals that undercut what they offer elsewhere. We did. They did. This is the result. I picked three fixes - meaning you lock in a rate so it's guaranteed not to rise for a set time, giving you peace of mind of price certainty. That's unlike the Price Cap tariffs most homes are on right now, which rise 2% tomorrow (and are strongly predicted to stay high across winter and beyond). These fixes are all very substantially cheaper than the Cap, meaning savings of £100s for many. The three MSE Big Switch winners All have agreed to MSE enhanced service Ends: When limit is hit or 13 Oct. For: Eng, Scot, Wales (see N. Ireland help). Are you 'eligible' to get one of these? Almost certainly, YES! While rules say it must be 'members only', we define our members as all who were signed up to get the MSE weekly (ie, this) email by last Friday, plus those signed up to our Cheap Energy Club by then. When you click a link below, it'll take you to our full comparison (as your exact prices & winner depends on usage and location). If you're not already signed up to Cheap Energy Club, ensure you use the email address you get this email sent to, in order to get these tariffs. None of these tariffs require you to have a smart meter. WINNER 1: Cheaper-than-the-market's cheapest.  British Gas 14mth fix for both new & crucially existing customers. This is the cheapest BG fix since Sept 2021 and is an average 15.2% less than the new 1 Oct Price Cap.  Existing BG customers can get it too, so it's a no-brainer for them... and if you're on a BG fix already, it won't charge you early exit fees to switch to this.  Early exit penalties: £50/fuel. Limited to 40,000 switches: so 1st come, 1st served. WINNER 2: Cheapest from the top service firm.  Octopus Energy 10mth fix for new & existing customers. I picked Octopus as frankly it's a really popular firm, primarily due to its customer service, which is top rated. This is cheaper than any fix Octopus has available direct and is an average 10.3% less than the Oct Cap. Existing Octopus customers can get it, and if you're already fixed with it, it won't charge you early exit fees to switch to this. Early exit penalties: £25/fuel. Limited to 50,000 switches: so 1st come, 1st served. WINNER 3: Cheap smart prepay & pay in receipt of bills. EDF 13mth fix for new & existing customers. I went for this bid, as while the other two only allow monthly Direct Debit payments for newbies, this allows those plus a wider range of payment methods too.  At an average 11.3% less than the Oct Cap, it's the cheapest smart prepay & payment in receipt of bills fix. It's also cheaper than any EDF fix available direct. Existing EDF customers can switch to it, but those who are already fixed would need to pay early exit fees to switch, so factor those in. But it can't charge you exit penalties within the last 49 days of the fix (nor can any firm). Early exit penalties: £75/fuel. Unlimited switches allowed: Until 13 Oct. PS: The saving is slightly more for pay in receipt of bills and slightly less for prepay as the Price Cap varies depending on payment method. All three have agreed to 'MSE Enhanced Service'. That means if there's an issue, go to the energy firm first, but if it doesn't sort things, contact our Cheap Energy Club and we can and will escalate it and try to help. All three include MSE £20 dual-fuel cashback. Unlike other sites, we don't default to hiding tariffs that don't pay us to facilitate a switch. Instead, we show the whole market, but when we get paid to switch you, we give you a chunk of it as cashback and factor it in, meaning those that pay us are relatively cheaper, so you're more likely to switch to them. Win-win. PS: This could help start a price war. There is an outside chance one or two (likely smaller) firms may cut their prices to regain their position at the top of our comparison (we will, of course, include them). So, when I write 'cheaper than the market's cheapest', that may change. What happens if you're in credit when you switch? Your old energy provider should pay you all the credit you are owed within eight weeks of you no longer being its customer. You will need to give a final meter reading to ensure everything is as it should be. If you're in debt, then it's usually fine to switch, as long as it's not huge, but there are no hard rules except for prepay, when it's a £500 debt per fuel maximum. Of course, you will still have to pay back the money you owe (you may be able to sort out a repayment plan if needed, ask it). Analysis: These cheap fixes are predicted to very substantially undercut the Price Cap The Price Cap rate moves every three months, due to moves in wholesale costs (see how to check if I'm on the Price Cap?). It's about to rise 2% tomorrow (Wed 1 Oct). The Cap limits the max Standing Charges and unit rates firms can levy - see the new Price Cap rates. The following Cap starts on 1 Jan, but as it's all time-lagged, the price you'll pay then is based on average wholesale costs from mid-Aug to mid-Nov prices. The current prediction is Jan's Cap will be roughly the same as Oct's, and as we're already halfway through the assessment period, the current predictions will very likely be in the right ballpark - it'd take huge swings for it not to be. That means all these fixes should be considerably cheaper than the Cap across the high-use winter months. After that, predictions are more crystal ball-gazing, but currently the analysts predict the Cap will rise substantially in April. All this means is that it would take an off-the-charts fall in worldwide energy prices for you not to be better off fixing, and in the very unlikely event that did happen, and you wanted to take advantage of far lower prices, you could just pay the early exit penalties and leave. Specialist tariffs worth considering Fixes are the easy peace-of-mind option. Yet there are alternative models, though some of them are tough to display via a traditional comparison site, so here's a quick checklist to see... Low user? EDF's tracker has lower Standing Charges. It's essentially a price cap, but with £50/yr lower Standing Charges, it's good, but ONLY for very low users (eg, under roughly £80/mth use). Got an electric car? Consider a special electric vehicle (EV) tariff. There are fixes which give cheaper rates for charging your car. Sophisticated user? Rapid price-change tariffs can lead to big savings. Tariffs such as Octopus's Agile or Tracker see price changes either daily or hourly. For those comfortable with this, especially if you can shift usage patterns or have storage batteries, these can mean big savings. Got solar panels? Is an all-in-one deal cheaper? Some firms give you better solar panel rates if you get your energy supply from them too. Our guide takes you through who it's worth it for (and who it isn't). Help to cut bills or if you're struggling to pay Of course, cutting the cost of the energy you use isn't the entire answer. Using less is the other way to cut your bills.

Car insurance prices DOWN 10%! Don't just accept your insurer's price. If it stays the same, you're likely overpaying Use the Compare+ Car Insurance tool New. Now with added Price Impact Indicators. Helps you save £100s We pay 40% more for car insurance than we did in 2021, yet things have turned the corner, with prices down 10.5% over the last 12 months (source: insurance analysis firm Consumer Intelligence). But that means you must be alert, don't just accept your renewal. Even if it's 5% cheaper, you can probably still do better. To help you save, we've added new 'Price Impact Indicators' (explained below) to our Compare+ Car Insurance tool. 100,000s people have saved millions with it, such as Colleen, who emailed: "My car renewal had increased by £150, so I used your Compare+ tool and found the same level of cover £350 cheaper. I am now going to use Compare+ Home Insurance to review that too. Big, big thank you." The best thing to do is just to try it (any feedback & suggestions are always welcome), but as some people like to know what they're getting, here's a quick briefing on how it works... You speedily fill in one questionnaire. Answer our Compare+ Car Insurance question set (we borrow MoneySupermarket's - we're part of the same group. If you've used that before, your answers are auto-filled). New. As you go through the questions, you get the unique Price Impact Indicator... It all started when Martin interrogated the team (not unusual) during the build of Compare+ Home Insurance to ensure it was following the same pattern as his original design for the car insurance tool. For every question in the questionnaire, he'd ask 'is it needed?' and 'does it impact the price?', so we delved into the data to find out. The results were surprising, often showing things you'd assume matter actually had little price impact. Martin got so excited (also not unusual) that he said we needed to put this info in the tool. We did. You loved it. Now we've added it to the car insurance tool too. So, every question has a 'low', 'mid' or 'high' pricing rating, with it telling you how the answer impacts the price - where you can click and read about it exactly. You then get your benchmark quote to start the saving. This is your cheapest quote from the MoneySupermarket comparison, so you can see a price straightaway, but of course we want you to beat it... We show you which other comparisons to add in, and in what order. We've always told you to use as many comparisons as you've time for, and the fact we've a new tool doesn't change that. Different comparison sites include different insurers, and even where the same firms are listed, they can have different prices for them. Timing it right can save you - we'll tell you if you're too early, too late, or pure Goldilocks. How early before renewal you get a quote can impact how much insurers charge you. We've analysed millions of quotes to find the exact sweet spot when premiums will be at their cheapest. Timing it right cuts costs. If you're too early, we'll tell you when to come back. If you're too late, we'll be adding calendar and email reminders, so we can alert you at the right time next year. You get even more personalised tips on how you can cut costs. After analysing your data, the Compare+ tool shows you other ways to try to cut your costs further (all are trial and error though), such as... - Will upping the voluntary excess (the amount you pay towards a claim) save you money? - Can you pay annually rather than monthly? - Could you legitimately tweak your job title to save? - Is there a responsible driver you can add to your policy? - Can you save by combining your home and car insurance?

Child Benefit: 6 things all parents need to know Up to 750,000 households are missing out, not just on the money, but also a boost to their State Pension (including grandparents). A must-read on whether you should claim or not... Child Benefit is a universal payment for parents of all children under 16 (under 20 if in full-time education). It's up to £26.05/week (£1,355/yr) for your first child and £17.25/wk (£897/yr) for each additional child. This is meant to ensure every child has at least some funds allocated to help them. Here are six key need-to-knows... 1. Always register for Child Benefit (even if you earn too much). When you register, it doesn't just trigger the payment, it's a gateway to other things. Some higher earners don't register (as if you earn over £80,000, the money is clawed back through the tax system), yet that can be a mistake... - Registering is what triggers your eligibility for National Insurance credits towards the State Pension. The amount of State Pension you will receive is dictated by the number of national insurance (NI) years you've built up. You get NI years by working, or you get NI credits if you're not working and caring for a child under 12 (or older if they have a disability). And it's the act of claiming Child Benefit that triggers this payment. So it's worth registering but then opting out of receiving the benefit, as opposed to just not registering. - Registering usually means your child will automatically get an NI number before they hit 16 years old. If you don't claim Child Benefit, they'll need to apply for one manually when they turn 16. 2. Are you one of perhaps 200,000 families losing out due to the wrong partner claiming Child Benefit? The person who puts in the Child Benefit application is deemed as the primary applicant, and they are the one that gets the NI years (which you need to qualify for the full State Pension). So if one of you doesn't work or earns under £125/wk, that person should be the applicant to ensure you get the NI credit you wouldn't have otherwise, potentially boosting your future State Pension, which can add up to £10,000s over the years. If you did it the other way round, you can fill in a form to transfer the credits over to the lower earner. It's also sometimes backdate-able. Jacquie emailed us last year: "Due to my earnings, we received no Child Benefit when the children were little, and my husband was at home looking after them. We were looking at over £6,000 to top up my husband's NI for those missing employment years. We followed your suggestion to transfer them from me to him. A very welcome letter arrived confirming that the years my husband was at home looking after the kids now count towards his NI record, and he now has a full State Pension entitlement. So grateful to you." 3. You still gain from Child Benefit with income up to £80,000. Child Benefit is means-tested, meaning once one parent or guardian earns over £60,000, some of it is clawed back via tax as the High Income Child Benefit Charge, until you hit £80,000 earnings when it is all paid back. So that means at £70,000, you'd still be due over £1,126/yr if you've two children. The lower threshold was increased from £50,000 to £60,000 in 2024, and some parents still don't claim, thinking it isn't worth it. Almost 750,000 families are missing out on some money so, being plain, as long as no parent in the household earns over £80,000, it is worth getting it. It's worth noting the £60,000 to £80,000 threshold is based on your 'adjusted net income' after pension contributions, charitable donations under Gift Aid and, for the self-employed, trading losses. So it's worth noting that increasing the highest earning parent's pension or charitable contributions can increase the Child Benefit you can keep. See more in minimising the Child Benefit charge. 4. New. There's now an easier way to pay back Child Benefit if you need to. Those who earn over £60,000 and therefore need to repay their Child Benefit have, until now, had to do a self-assessment tax return, which is painful if you're employed and paid via PAYE, as you wouldn't need do it otherwise. Now some in those circumstances can stop doing self-assessment and pay via your tax code. 5. In work? If grandparents look after the kids, they could benefit. If you're registered for Child Benefit, but don't need the NI credit because you (or, if a couple, both of you) earn £125+/wk, so get it anyway, you can transfer the unused Child Benefit NI credits to a relative if they're caring for your under-12-year-old child (eg, after school). While technically it's called the Specified Adult Childcare Credit, for ease, Martin calls it the Grandparents' Childcare Credit (though they must be under 66). The link has more info. You may also be able to back-claim this, as Andy did: "Following your advice, I claimed NI credits as a grandparent for looking after our grandchildren after I'd retired from work. The application was easy and although it took around 25 weeks to process, I was given four years' worth of NI credits, and my new State Pension will rise from around £173/wk to £221/wk, giving an additional £2,496 per year. I wouldn't have known about this without you and the team." 6. There is no two-child benefit cap. To finish, there's much talk about the 'two-child benefit cap' in the news, and it's causing confusion. Just to be clear, this isn't to do with Child Benefit, it's about Universal Credit and it's actually a limit, not a cap. There is a benefits cap, which is a maximum amount you can receive in benefits, and Child Benefit is part of that. Confused? Watch Martin's 2024 video explainer (some numbers have changed, but the principle remains).

MONEY MORAL DILEMMA Should my partner pay more towards bills to cover his children in our new home? My partner and I are looking to move in together. He has three children from a previous relationship who will live with us part of the time. We both have the same deposit to put towards our new home, but he's suggested he pays more of the mortgage and owns a larger percentage of the property to compensate for us needing a home with more bedrooms for his children. I don't agree and can afford to go 50-50 on the property. Instead, I think he should pay more towards bills to cover the cost of his children. Who's right?
