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.

You say no thanks goodbye and shut the door .0 -
They use meters that are not industry standardFeudal 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..0
