You were exposed, not promoted!
And of course this is untrue:
Had you said that in your now removed post, the posts that followed and your "exposure" would have been unnecessary.
Read the post. I was removed for the username only. I admire your passion but none of this really changes anything; you hate UW and I don't. I won't be losing any sleep but I fear you may?
Off for a coffee now; if you lived nearby we could we could go and chat over some other forums too. I have no malace towards anyone, especially when they have such strong beleifs. Though, I do like to see balance in the discussions.UW Distributor :j0 -

you hate UW and I don't.
I don't "hate" UW.
And you obviously "don't" because you are a rep for them!
(Wonder how many other posts you would have attempted had you not been immediately exposed as just another dishonest rep attempting to use this forum to pose as a happy customer?)0 -
So, if I 'Spam' your posts they will go straight away? COOL :j
You can have a go - though when discovered they aren't they get reinstated. (And if the button presser is a rogue uw rep he gets reported to big al for brain washing treatment)
Keep up the posts - you show others just how low uw reps are prepared to go when it comes to posting here.
Remember it was you who came here again today and tried the "satisfied" scam on, only to be spotted and well and truly exposed!0 -

"I refer the honorable Quentin to my previous post". I was up front in my first post as to who I am so I was not 'exposed'!
Just as a matter of interest; are you or have you ever been with UW?UW Distributor :j0 -

Great place this... I will have to come here more often. Nice to see a lighter side to you :TUW Distributor :j0 -

We shouldn't really feed the trolls.
But just to emphasise, you weren't "up front" at all in your first post (now deleted), and certainly didn't declare you were a rep, but you pointed out that you felt the thread no good for researching uw (which you had done elsewhere and found uw to be good).
Detective Ypaymore exposed you, and you subsequently have tried to dilute your dishonesty.
But such behaviour is taken here with a pinch of salt - we see the very trick so often from uw reps, and is one of the reasons your discussions are confined to this backwater.0 -

You are spending a great deal of time in the back water!
My first post was not under Andy1047 which you refer to here. It was under another name that was removed. In that older post I had declared myself. I am sure you are very clever at catching people here but I really wasn't one of them. You have mixed two sets of posts into one and unfortuanately no one can go back to look at the older stuffUW Distributor :j0 -
I had nothing but trouble with UW last year when I signed up to them, might as well share my experience here despite it being some 18 months ago now.
I signed up when I moved into rented accommodation, the letting agent suggesting I sign up as they would be cheapest and no doubt he pocketed some kind of incentive for doing this. I didn't argue about it at the time as I always thought UW were cheap and I could always shop around later on if this didn't turn out to be the case.
I signed up for Electricity, Broadband and Phone with them and the problem I first encountered was that 28 days after signing up I still didn't have a working phone line or internet connection. I rang UW who blamed the delay on BT and said it would be sorted within 7 days.
I rang them back 7 days later to explain it still wasn't working and that I intended to change supplier but that I would stick with them for electricity.
Transferred to Virgin and then a few days later got a bill from UW for broadband, I can't remember the exact amount but it was around £80.
I rang them to explain that I'd never received such a service from them and quoted their own T&Cs that say you don't pay if you don't receive a service but they told me that I hadn't given them enough time to resolve the alleged fault. I said that I felt 28 days plus 7 days was a reasonable period of time to expect them to be able to deliver the service.
I then got a letter from a debt collection agency a few weeks later so I decided to pay up rather than risk getting a mark on my credit file.
I cancelled my electricity with UW soon after as I found a cheaper supplier, in fact most suppliers were cheaper.
I then got another letter from a debt collection agency for my electricity bill, UW hadn't bothered to send me a bill of any
description, the first I heard about it was the debt collectors letter.
I had to ring for a copy of my final bill to check it and they sent me that along with a copy of someone elses bill, ever heard of the DPA?
Steer clear, shoddy company in my experience.:A0 -
My first post was not under Andy1047 which you refer to here. It was under another name that was removed.
You now seem to want to change your plea??
You certainly came here today under the guise of Andy1047, never declared you were a uw rep and were exposed.
(All credit for your exposure should go to Detective Insp Ypaymore)0
