Hi there


I enjoyed Steve Nowottny's article on haggling and had a great success with Vodafone last week


Just wondering if anyone knows what the rules are with regard to helping out a family member or friend negotiate a better utilities deal. Would most companies allow you to pass the phone over and haggle on someone's behalf? It just my Dad hasn't got a clue when it comes to things like this and I would love to really have a crack at getting him a better deal on his gas and electric.

Has anyone had any luck in this regard?


Many thanks

They don't haggle they work to the tariffs .

Change to cheaper via MSE or any comparison site .

Their computers have a program for each tariff. The effort involved in writing a bespoke program for each individually negotiated tariff wouldn't be feasible.

You can t haggle on domestic tariffs but you certainly can on business tariffs. Its just a question of making sure they are on direct debit , getting their yearly kwhr use correct and fill in Moneysavingexperts Cheapenergyclub ( for £30 cashback ) and avoiding some of the more risky suppliers.They were noted on the comparison site the last time I looked.
