Should I report these to Trading Standards or is there another body/organisation that deals with dodgy estate agents? I am really believing what they're doing is wrong so out of protection to ourselves & all other tenants, isn't it best to report them? They can't just surely switch everyone over as most are contracted to suppliers like we are...

Try dropping a line to the Office of Fair Trading and ask for their view on the issue - your local tenancy Relations Officer on the Council's private sector rentals team may also be interested, plus Shelter.

According to the OFT, it is only potentially unreasonable for a TA to specify that a supplier may not be changed. The OFT would prefer a LL is kept informed of any change of supplier and to also make the tenant return the supply to the original supplier by the end of the tenancy.

So after all that i wasnt far wrong , if at all

dont worry about apologising anyone

What a couple of sanctimonius !!!!!! you are

First you post advice which eventually agree is wrong:

Ok , i bow to your superior knowledge on the subject , no problem

You then go elsewhere and start a thread asking for advice for yourself on the very same topic.

When the op is advised to treat your advice with caution, you first decend to childish name calling, then to this out and out abuse, which is unnecessary and unwanted on this forum.

Any credibilty you had is now totally lost.

Firstly , if you read the OFT advice you will see that actually , i am not wrong , and at the very very least its a grey area

Secondly if calling you silly is abuse then you need to get out more

And thirdly if your going to try and make me come across as some sort of devious idiot then expect all you get ...


Lets leave it at that yes ?

According to energywatch, you cannot change energy supplier if "Your lease specifies that you cannot change the suppliers."

No - that is just "childish name calling".

As posted, this is abuse - and would get you into big trouble if you said it face to face:

Personally i`ll go with what the OFT says..
