If you think about it, if someone owes a company thousands and then wants to change supplier do you think they will pay them? nope this is why the are allowed to object

That is a commonly used argument but what real evidence is there for it?

Energy customers have never had the opportunuity to test it

No other industry to my knowledge enjoys the opportunity to object to you buying elsewhere and yet they are all still in business. How do they do it - use adequate credit control and the Courts perhaps?


Phil you don't say what form your contract takes & I don't know whther legal eagles arguments are as tested as is suggested but you may also find this thread an interesting read

I don't think Legal Eagle would be helping,...never answered my questions (now Cardew's), just avoided them. Never proved he/she actually understood the industry, act, SLC's, etc. That argument would leave gaps all over the place and customers who are "shipperless" by being released but the whole industry falls down as no one is purchasing from the distributor.

The SLC's are viewable by all, but its a matter of how to be released. Some customers with debt get released...its not worth the OE fee by quoted your right to "may" under the SLC.

There is a term in one of the SLC's where a supplier can release you...which LE missed...but it doesn't say how they do it since its physically impossible to de-register a supplier without initiating a switch unless you discuss the MPAN/MPRN. If there was a process, it would exploited to obtain free utilities.

Another possible difficulty is finding a supplier who is willing to take on a customer who already has substantial arrears with another company.

Aside from any credit checking, would they?
