Hi Hannah,
Oh well, nothing seems to have happened in my quest to switch to NextFlex Monthly DD tariff. I was going to continue my email trail to Customer Service but as I don't seem to be getting anywhere I thought I'd get back to you in case you can take a peek from the outside. Below is a brief transcript of my email trail with all the courtesy emails and non-essential details taken out...
28 March from Me: ''I would like to switch from my current tariff, Next Online v17, to NextFlex as of 1st April 2023. I understand I will not pay any exit fees upon doing so.''
29 March from C.S: ''I have noted your request and we will action this on the 1st April 2023. And this what the NextFlex tariff entails...'' was followed by a screen shot of the then current NextFlex DD rates. Estimated monthly DD was ยฃ330.
3 April from Me: ''I was supposed to switch to NextFlex on 1st April 2023. Can you advise when this will happen please?''
3 April from C.S: ''I have now switched you to our NextFlex tariff as requested and attached below is a screenshot of what it entails...'' followed by screenshot of NextFlex Non-DD version rates.
3 April from Me: ''Thanks for the prompt action but the rates you have quoted are too high. They seem to be standard pay on receipt of bill. I pay by monthly fixed direct debit. Please can you look at this.''
No reply yet.
3 April from Me: ''Please confirm you have switched me to a NextFlex Direct Debit tariff.''
4 April from C.S: ''Yes I have switched you to our NextFlex Direct Debit tariff.''
6 April: Monthly Statement received... last smart readings taken 6 April and still on v17 fixed tariff.
6 April from EonNext: ''Just a quick reminder: we'll collect your monthly Direct Debit payment of ยฃ415.00 on 17th April.'' This is the same as I have been paying for the six month period of EBSS.
12 April: As far as I can see, from Statement, On-line Account, EonNext App, IHD and Bright App, I am still on v17 fix. I know it can take time to update things but it seems a simple request from over two weeks ago... Please can I switch to NextFlex Monthly Fixed DD tariff?

Mailman made a similar request a day or two before me and it all went through without a hitch so things
can happen as they should. In a way it's good for me to experience this as it helps me to empathise with other customers who feel they get nowhere with Customer Service.
I am not being terribly disadvantaged by this at present but it's good to document how long it can take to get a simple request actioned. It may be that things are happening but in a very slow manner. Then again, maybe nothing is happening. If you can find out anything at all it would be helpful.
