Does this
service
include
historical
tariff
information? |
Historical
tariffs are
tariffs
which you
can no
longer sign
up for, but
which you
may still be
being billed
on. A
typical
example of a
historical
tariff are
‘Capped’
tariffs.
Suppliers
often offer
differently
priced
versions of
the same
historical
tariffs.
This may
cause
difficulties
in
determining
the tariff
unit rates
that apply
to your
bill, even
if you know
the name of
the tariff
that you are
on.
Customers
who are
currently
using a
historical
tariff
should make
use of the
‘Advanced
Search’
tariff
search
function to
obtain an
accurate
savings
results.
