Has anyone else had dealings with this company Ecosave Gas & Power?
full of promises saving me money on my gas and electric bill then sticking me with a company with triple the rates after signing a form for them to control what they sign me up with.
I have now set up a case with the ombudsmen to check out the fraud done by this company which includes false signing of contract, blatant lies on the amount saves annually and the rates they were putting into the contract.
The salesman James has not returned any calls in the last 4 months and conveniently not available or away from desk every time I call to find out what is going on.
How can these companies get away with it?

    Ecosave GP are brokers in the business market.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Hopefully you qualify as a micro-business of the Ombudsman cannot help you, but even if you do, you have to understand that business users are held to a higher standard than domestic consumers and the protections are far less, as you are assumed to be capable of performing your own due diligence, and understand that for example, you can verbally enter into a binding contract with no cooling-off period and no requirement for a signature...
