  • 6000 Gas/ 1200 leccy, Yorkshire region. Add in UW phone line/inclusive weekend/evening calls. Cost of this lot for year would be £463 (worse case scenario, I wonder if anyone can spot what I've done?) plus daytime calls. 12 paper bills a year. Monthly billing. One DD. One bill. Forget cashback card, shall we, as i know how much it upsets the AUWF. This, of course, is competing against the very chepest online tariffs which is slightly unfair considering the many extras you would get with UW but ce la vie! Competitive? Beatable?

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    Simply Jimixbox, Rael didn't say who he was with or pretend to be with anyone. He left it open to opinion.

    Vinnyph is another uw rep who comes here, makes posts telling us how cheap the uw is, is abusive towards those that he disagrees with, yet chooses not to stick to the rules and declare his big interest in uw.

    Now he posts to support another uw customer who has tried to con us by posing as an interested onlooker.

    Interestingly, despite regularly coming here and breaking the rules frequently, he merely lurks at the uw reps forum where after years of membership they await not just a poetic contribution, but in fact any contribution whatsoever from him!

    Sorry, his posts were intended to deceive. He asked leading questions pretending not to know the answer, when infact he is a UW customer. If you find that acceptable, more shame you.

    So Rael wasn't a Scottish Power customer, then asked questions about UW pretending not to be a customer. This is getting very confusing. So who was he pretending to be with then?

    Seems to be a lot pretending going on......

    Yes he use to be a Scottish Power customer in the past, that seems clear to me. I don't think he was pretending, your reading to much into this. Nobody asked him at the time which supplier he was with, so he hasn't actually lied anywhere, just never said he was with UW, which is his choice. As its your choice not to post your actual figures!

    I know what happens when you admit to being a UW customer, accusations are hurled at you and you are accused of being guillable! No wonder he didn't want to say!

    So why ask leading questions when he clearly knows the answers?

    My theory is almost proved UW must be the most expensive, I posted real figures and not one of you even tried to show if UW could beat them. Or indicated any way they could be matched.

    All I have seen for 4 pages are insults and backstabbing. Very disappointing.
    These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!

    I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!

    Quentin, you've been conning us since January with this increasingly fictitious-seeming cashback card. Are you and Cardew related in any way?

    Perhaps he doesn't know the answers, I'm with UW and i don't know everything about them, I don't know about if they supply gas/electric to businesses. Perhaps he came on here looking for advice from somebody with more knowledge.

    Are you a little embarrased that you've shown yourself up by not reading his posts properly and accusing him of lying? He hasn't broken any rules (unlike you a week or so ago - caught posting about UW on another thread!)
