  • withheld, barry number which is where im from so 01446 then the number. 02920 which is cardiff. its been a mix. im just sick of all the phone calls iv had about 2000 calls and they are still ringing now
  • As Ypaymore has already stated UW have one call centre and that is located within the Head Office in London (020 number?) so not sure what is happening here? If the calls are what you would call harassment then surely it would be an idea getting in touch with your telecoms supplier to get it blocked and, if need be, take it further with regards to logging a complaint?

    Sounds like it is a faulty 'automatic dialler'.

    You are probably better asking advice in the 'telephones' forum.

    i did and they put me into this forum but thank you :) i have rang my telephone provider and because the numbers keep changing i cannot block all of them because as soon as i do it changes to another number. also im very annoyed as someone gave me details out and the only person who has my details was the utility warehouse! when i finished signing up with them they said to make a password as there has been issues with scammers as they give your details out to third parties or something

    I would say it depends on how you came about choosing them. If it was by using a comparison website and they came out cheapest then sure give them a go.

    If it was through one of their distributors then go to a comparison website and find out how they compare. If you can get cheaper then cancel

    Based on the initial quote it won't be any worse than where we are now, best thing is due to my previous bad credit I am unable to get a sim only deal but that is no problem with the utility warehouse

    That'll be because you are paying in advance where most contracts are paid in arrears. If you miss a payment and don't contact them then everything gets cut off...the landline, the internet, the mobile phone, the electricity, the gas.

    If you have bad credit then expect UW to install a prepayment meter if one does not already exist...or pay a hefty deposit.

    Are you renting?
