    I wish you would answer the substantive point, that I would pay 19% extra (£257) using UW. That is a fact
    It has not been proven to be a fact as you have not posted your usage figures, current supplier and tariff.

    If I ask "In what way was my post misleading?", in normal conversation I would get a reply that would lead me to either correcting the mistake, or explaining the misinterpretation of what I had correctly said.

    But not when asking Keggs!

    (I posted that Keggs keeps telling us here he is a happy customer and uw rep, whereas he posts elsewhere how he has become disenchanted, and feels "uneasy" when talking uw energy and the worthless guarantee to new prospects, and his retort was that it was a "misleading" post). In fact the post was totally factual, and resulted in Keggs being advised by other reps not to keep posting his negativity on the forum (as it was not private, and the negativity would get used elsewhere on the net).

    All this bluster, but isn't it just to try and divert eyes away from the point being made.
    That you do not always tell the truth and that you take bits and pieces out of context from elsewhere in an attempt to discredit Utility Warehouse.

    This is a money saving site. I have shown here that I save money by being a customer of Utility Warehouse. If I can do it, so can many others. That is a fact.

    I refer you back to your statement about me for which I told you I forgive you. And more recently, your statement that Utility Warehouse independent distributors get a discount on their gas and electricity which is also not true.

    Todays accusation of me misleading came from Keggs about a specific post (as you know).

    As far as the "statement" you refer to, it wasn't! (It was a question).

    I stand corrected over the discount you don't get. It is a confusing issue, as UW does advertise for people to join purely to get discount off their bills (by recruiting others), hence my confusion.

    Do you also stand corrected about the card that you have told us about but not produced a link to?

    Very surprising, given your apparent limitless knowledge regarding UW, you could get this one so wrong. It's very simple - customers can refer people to UW and get a DISCOUNT (up to 100%, excluding club fees) on their bill (like I have just done). Distributors sign people up to UW and receive COMMISSION. It's about as simple as npower's annual discount paid annually in arrears, TBH, so I'm surprised it confused you. Wait a minute...:p

    No. The UW isn't unique in offering a prepayment card which gives discount when shopping at "partner" stores.

    Though the uw does point out their card carries risks, and of course you have to join the uw and pay monthly membershipo fees as well as be a uw customer in order to get it!

    My gawd, we're getting there :eek: You have claimed in the past the card you've been banging on (since January IIRC!!) about beats UWs. OK. Let's have the link so we can have a good old butchers....;)
