Crikey, a normally-phrased question.

Yes.

Am I required to put it in my sig?

Woo, you answered a question.

Indeed, that was my next point. It all becomes clear that your financial interest in UW is why you refuse to answer so many of my questions. I honestly believe that you and any other UW shareholder should declare their interest after each post.

I may email the forum team to see what they think.

Go ahead. And here's me thinking I had too much time on my hands. :rolleyes:

While you are at it, don't forget to mention the fact that your 'leader' is a centrica shareholder who's been known to actually start threads on British Gas' super duper products...:p

Ive been reading this thread with interest and it seems to be getting a little silly now, especially with the suggestion that if you have shares in UW you should declare it in your post!! If you have to declare that you have shares in UW then surely you would have to declare shares in any energy company, as it works both ways. People with shares in UW will defend the company, people with shares in other companies will try and discredit the company? Absolute madness! Some people have way to much time on their hands!! People should be given the facts and left to make up their own minds.

As the VAT post has been closed (sorry I thought it was a seperate issue here are some interesting things. Yes you can have different rates of VAT on an invoice. But only under one VAT number. 5 Telephone calls to HMRC refute all what T+ have stated (1) They were told they had to do this by HMRC and (2) Then had a "special dispensation" according to Pipper at HMRC on Friday who was faxed the invoice she stated it is non compliant and that you could not legally pay the VAT neither claim it back. The point is the THREE VAT numbers not the fact they are different VAT rates.

As a further word of warning if an account is messed up they state it is their right to text all mobile telephones "your account is about to be barred due to non payment please call the UWDC with your credit card details on XXXXXXXXXXX" Well our young daughter got that message and felt it was she who had run up a massive bill and was guilty about it and did not come home. We spent frantic hours trying to find her.
They messed up on the bills as to the company reply " we can do this to all mobiles under the account." Certain consumer and stautory laws come into play here.
There is an old saying "true colours" and these appear when things go wrong.
As to the way they did the price hike I agree, and if you get away from the mantra and have a look around there are cheaper deals.
No doubt T+ have happy customers, most of them are ID's for the company, but the average ID has 15 cutomers with an attrition rate of 40% and thats from an ID I know still doing it who is getting a bit fed up with all the waffle as well.
(Complaints upheld from BT over misleading adds by Ofcom) and others.
Changing terms and cons without notifying the customer.
Oh and if you are an ID you are not supposed to be using your free calls etc for your business but no doubt ID's will have a "dispensantion for this"!!!!!!!

Add up the charges for paying into the card (wink) shareholders and ID's are normally "brainwashed" reminded me too much of my childhood when I was bought up as a Jehovah's Witness!
As to any ID's wanting to comment about am I "a failed ID" There is much better ways of making RI and more of it each month than the pitance paid. @300 start up fee costs of your own takes a while at full time to get this back.
As to insider secrets you want to see the buzz about reccsion etc and how people would be flocking to be customers and ID's!
But the ID's maybe in for a shock as they may be forced I have heard to get Consumer Credit Licences.

I thought it was only £199+ to join.

Why would they need a credit licence when they dont offer credit?

I am not a distributor far from it but you do come across as if you have it in for them. Why did you stay with them for so long if they are as bad as you make out?

Hasn't kippen noedel already explained what you are alleging is simply not true?
