    You mislead by trying to convince us all you paid was £45
    It isn't misleading, because I got all of those services, and I paid £45. Not sure why you think I paid more.
    how did you do it? i use less electric than you and couldnt get it that low.

    please , how did you do it? the UW phone line couldnt tell me
    I have explained already - in post number 2546 above.

    Because we all know that your claim is unbelievable.

    Plus you won't tell us the "details". Though we all know they wouldn't stand up to scrutiny!

    It is just headline grabbing spam.

    If it were true, we would all be signing up!

    (Your primary thrust was that you were happy to pay the UW's expensive charges, because (you told us) their customer service was well worth paying extra for!)

    Then in the same post, you switch to cynically asking us where you can get cheaper itilities, claiming unbelievable prices, when in the previous paragraph you argued that we should pay extra and experience the cs??

    You don't want any help at all. You just post spam like this, because you are "bored", refuse to give the details, then feign outrage and want the thread deleted when your spam gets deleted.

    So, because it's boring otherwise......

    There is a difference of £7.67 per month from the UW price you have quoted to the cheapest one you have listed.......

    Leaving out all of the other benefits of being a UWDC member, I'd probably rather pay an additional £7.67 per month to get outstanding service, to be honest.

    Aside from that, my January bill for Electricity, phone, broadband and mobile was £45 in total. Please can you show me some other way that I could have had those 4 services for cheaper than that.....

    Believe what you like. I have already given the details.

    Where should I send the application form for you?

    Well done for trying to confuse the issue by mixing up two separate points. Good attempt at a diversion there.

    Not so. I do want the answer. I paid £45 in January for my electricity, mobile, phone and broadband. If anyone can tell me a cheaper way I could have received all of these, I may decide to switch. But, you haven't come up with any cheaper way for me at all, leading me to conclude that there is none and you concede that I have received the cheapest services I could have. Thanks for the endorsement.

    No you haven't.

    The only detail you gave us was that the £45 you paid included 523 kwh electricity.

    You have not explained how the UW costs £45 for all your services (when they charge around £70 for just that amount of electricity).

    Were the UW to put this claim on its website, the ASA would have something to say.

    Instead you get "upset" when this unbelievable spam (4 times so far in the last 24 hours!) for your company keeps getting removed, when you know full well you are misleading us!

    Then you tell us you post within the Adviser's code of conduct. Where does this code allow IFAs to mislead like this?

    It's not spam, it's called a question. Just because you don't have an answer for it or the answer isn't one you like, it's still a question.

    It's a money saving site. Save me money, or stop complaining.

    No, you aren't asking a "question" at all.

    Just using that in a typical cynical uw rep's manner to "justify" the repeated spam!

    You say potayto, I say potahto.......

    I've been quite clear what I am trying to achieve here.

    Either tell me where I can receive the services for a cheaper amount than I paid, or tell me that it's not possible.

    thank you for your reply - and yet when i phoned UW , they were at a loss to how come it was so cheap , they suggested a figure of over £120 for the all options , even with a monthly spend of over £1000 on the cashback card still wouldnt get your energy down to £45 - thats from the UW phone line.

    Isn't that strange.

    He would have made a good distributor, methinks.
