Utilita Salesman

So I have just had my privacy invaded by a door to door Utilita Salesman.

He told me that as I had credit meters, I could take advantage of Utilita's brilliant pricing structure.

Told him that I was on a fixed tariff, which was around £200 cheaper than Utilita. He replied that is not true.

He then told me that even though I am on a fixed tariff, my standing charge will be going up. Blatant lie.

In the end, as he would not shut up, I told him to go away (in much stronger terms).

How they are allowed to get away with this, I do not know. He just lied, lied and then lied even more.

    They get away with it becuase people listen to them at the door .

    You say no thanks goodbye and shut the door .
  • They use meters that are not industry standard
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
