Really where did you hear this?

If true you have to ask is there a pattern emerging?

Energywatch criticised Ofgem before being replaced

Consumer Focus shame Ofgem .............

Personally I reckon that we need one body that talks to both suppliers and consumers but if only one of the present set up were to go then I think it's Ofgem who need to be scrapped & replaced with somebody more competent!

That's a relief. Thought for a moment you were quoting a reliable source.

On this thread, at least, the accuracy of information provided by npower is legendary.

From todays Guardian ...

"The threat of legal action and subsequent negotiations were handled by Consumer Focus, the body representing energy users but which is under threat from cutbacks"

Not just this thread. I've seen papers where someone in their legal department has made at least two statements in a court case (two seperate sumbissions) that are patently untrue & where this fact has been evidenced in writing :rotfl:

Question. How many employees of Ofgem used to be Supplier managers? If it's anything like Elexon, a body set up to investigate many of the root causes seen in MSE complaints (and they are just as worthless!), then it might explain a lot!!!
