Reduce Ltd

I am trying to find out about an organisation Reduce Ltd who called and offered to change my gas and electricity to a new provider. They did a search for me and a good reduction was found. I have not changed yet as I will check and compare before I do but does anybody know about them before I recommend to elderly relatives who are not computer literate. Any other phone up comparison businesses that can be recommended would be useful. I would like whole of market and free please as this business clams to be. Thanks.

  • They phone you out of the blue and tell you they can reduce your gas and electricity costs.


    Yeh right! How much do they want to do this or how much will they make for doing this?

    They claim to be a dormant, non trading company according to companies house ;)

    As spiro says, just use any of the well known comparison sites - Martin suggests about half a dozen in his article. Most if not all have a dial up service for those that are not capable of doing it themselves online and most will give the special MSE cashback even via a telephone call if you ask for it :)
