Between June 2010 and May 2015, Utilita wrongly stopped customers from switching to another provider. . .
Utilita's response :-
So quick and decisive, it took 5 years for Ofgem to take action.. . . we have taken quick and decisive action to update and improve our switching procedures.
Proof, if any was needed, that Ofgem will only act when the actions/inactions of the energy suppliers embarrass them into doing anything. Customers are bottom of their list of concerns.
Ofgem itself is a scandalously dysfunctional disorganisation. It's time it was disbanded.
Warning: In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

It's not run by the North Koreans, is it?
You don't want to run away.
Stay and enjoy the safety and comfort of People's Republic of Utilita.
