NPower Claim on the Doorstep

KMK · 4 August 2006 at 9:12PM

A guy from N Power appeared on the doorstep to persuade me to switch to N Power. I told him I was with Scottish Power and he said that it was about to go bust because their prices are too low. When I challenged this, he insisted it was true. Does he know something I don't know or is it a case of dodgy practice on his part? If the latter, should I report him to N Power?

Scottish Power are not likely to go bust. This is typical field sales pitch which is needless as I think N Power are actually cheaper than Scottish Power anyway.

You could report him but I think simply not falling for it in the first place is enough. The trouble is, if he goes to an elderly person and hits them with the same sales pitch then they may be concerned enough to switch!
