I wouldn't touch UW.
Membership fees, higher than the competition!
No way thank-you - I ain't that thick!
What fool would go for a dodgy service that is dearer than others out there?
Well as you may know suppliers offer this and that and are cheaper for a while until the carrot has gone, E-On springs to mind as well as many others,then up goes your rates again forcing you to look around again.
UW offer a very good service for Which? magazine keeps saying so and for most people the offer is good enough so they dont have to keep switching,lets be honest most folks have too little time to keep messing anyway.As for membership fees,they have their benefits such as £20,000 accidental death cover and £10,000 for the partner aswell as 6 months reduncy cover,to me that is well worth the membership fee.Oh and ive been a fool now for 9 years and been quite happy.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

...UW offer a very good service for Which? magazine keeps saying so ...
Source? ... or more bluster & waffle from a UW agent in it for what they can gain from others?"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100 -
Whilst I would like to stresss I am NOT a distributor, I did look at the business a while ago and I can see the point of it (I didn't join because at the time i din't think I had sufficient time to devote to making a success of it). My dad is a case in point. He had been paying his leccy and gas to what was probably the most expensive company for years(BG). This was before I started lurking on sites like this and became sufficiently savvy to get him to change to the cheapest deal (currently Ebico for him). The reason I did this is because he's my dad, of course, and there were no financial incentives but I'm a very busy person and it really isn't viable for me to do it for ALL my elderly relatives, so I'm asssuming they are on deals that are no good for them.
I suppose this is where UW come in, because the distributors are incenticised to get these people to switch from these rubbish deals (I would imagine a huge number of people are STILL paying gas at the standard BG rate!) and, certainly in my area, UW's energy prices are far better than BG's standard ones. Just about ANY tariff is better than the big 6's standard ones. Just my thoughts.Call me Carmine....
