USwitch - Daily Mirror

Did anyone see the article in the Daily Mirror about uSwitch asking British Gas for £15m?

How can they be impartial if they want payment to list companies on their site?

Who said they were impartial?

They do not list companies like Ebico at all, and I had a PowerGen rep tell me Ebico did not exist because Uswitch did not list them. :rotfl:

They never have been impartial.They get commission for every bit of business they place.

British Gas actually phoned my father today to tell him about that article (since he signed up last month to switch over from British Gas to another supplier) and suggest that they are cheaper than their competitors (not sure about that one) and it's just the switching companies who make others look bettter (some truth there as proved with their telephone provider comparisons).

The Queens cousin just made a few quid by selling U-switch see this article.

They do, on their TV advert! I wonder if it breaches any codes of conduct or similar?

Bang out of order really. All the more reason to do the maths yourself and decide if you should switch.

I'm trying to summon up the energy to switch again...

How would you suggest going about it, if you don't use something like Uswitch?

Thanks
