You say you are a distributor, that is why i am enquiring about them for customers points of views, as i am considering becoming a distributor. I have met with a fellow distributor and with her area teamleader but being the cautious person i am just trying to gather veiws from all angles before commiting myself, especially as there's an initial outlay of £200.

I would love to hear what you have to say on the matter and tell me how becoming a ditributor yourself has worked out. You could always reply to the Private Message box if you'd rather keep the reply private.

Anything you have to say would be appreciatted, be it positive or negative.

Hi

I am also a distributor and customer and have been for a while now.

as a customer myself and friends and family have never had a problem with any of our services, and on gas and elec have never found any of the other local big 5 able to beat them on cost.

As a distributor i also find them very good, won't hassle you unless you want to be pushed and who wouldn't want to get paid for work they did years ago again and again.

Hope that helps with you decision.

Why not find out the customers (and ex customers!) points of view.

Couple of threads to sart you:

Telecomplus (Now known as Utility Warehouse) Exposed

Before parting with your money enquire (amongst the many questions you will want to ask them) why they ignore the ASA and continue to make false claims on their website about supplying the cheapest gas and electricity.

I found my electricity was cheaper with BG.
As quentin says, checkout the large amount of negative comment on this site first.

Not to nit pick, but being as there are 6 big utility companies, does that mean the 6th is cheaper? And what about Ebico, they are usually pretty good value for money.

Ebico fall under the SSE banner though do they not?

Depends on how you look at it... Ebico are a seperate company to SSE, they just use their billing and customer service. It's like my water comes from Welsh Water, the billing and customer service is provided by Thames Water, but I wouldn't say they were the same beast.

They are part of the same company but they have a different tarriff.

Depends entire on what tarriffs they wer using when doing the comparison.
British Gas for example have loads of tarriffs.
I doubt whether all of them were compared.

As I said I found BG "discounted electricity" tarrif cheaper than Utility Warehouse.

Without knowing how they did their comparison I can't comment on it, but clearly if they compared the standard (most expensive) tarriff then I don't think the comparison was a particularly fair or useful one.
We all know you can get cheaper price than that.

Hi jhp

Or, include this established LSE Quoted Company in your companies to compare and see what USP's they have to offer.
