the long saga (cont)27 Feb 2018 20:44
The segmental analysis in the interim accounts shows motor, household, underwriting, travel ins, travel etc as each having a fair impact on overall profitability. Net c�85m.
I don't change my supplier unless I can see the benefit - I do the maths.
EDF told me that I would save �100 a year by switching from BG. The benefit when calculated using each of their tariffs was less than �10. The reverse happened when moving property - stuffed BG went to EDF- benefit c�15.EDF were the current property providers.
Car insurance - my provider Saga - Swinton will bribe me to go with their provider. A bribe for one year and a sting in two years time.
Comparison websites galore - so no need to overpay.
Over 50s don't chop and change their travel, home, car insurance, utility supplier on a whim. Kids and millenials do. Why? Their twitter friends say so. I don't see a mass migration.
My conclusion is that their is no justifiable reason for the drop from +�2 in summer 2017 to current SP. Someone will fill their boots at this price and I bet no regulatory body does anything !
