E4b

The UIA only appear to be around to promote themselves and the full members that are stupid enough to part with significant amounts of profit (based on the size of their portfolio of customers).

If it truely was a "not for profit" organisation then why charge rediculous fees to the brokers? How is it justified? It can't be to do with legal costs as the brokers should already have their own indemnity insurance.

Interesting though that suppliers (the ones that are interested) only pay a nominal fee.

I was with E4B, I'm so glad they're gone i had a nightmare with them.

Quick search on the net took me to a site - energyunion.co.uk, Rang them up and was told I can choose any supplier I want now. They did a quick search for me and put me on a decent deal ... It's more expensive than what i was paying with e4b but that's because the prices have gone up so much, but I'm glad to see the back of e4b and to be with a more reputable company. :T

British Gas Business has now been appointed by OFGEM as the supplier for all E4B customers.

Terms & conditions
As we all know now that E4B HAVE GONE BUST, and all ex-customers require to be supplied either with the appointed BG or they change to another.

I think the most important thing to Ex-E4B customers is the
TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

I have been looking through a few prospective suppliers and the T&C's range from one page in very small print barely intelligible, to 13 pages that when you have finished reading them you have unwittingly changed faith !!

does anyone know of a supplier who has terms like :-
'x' pence per KWH
FOR six/twelve MONTHS
PAYMENT DIRECT DEBIT
MINIMUM 30 DAYS NOTICE TO CHANGE
each 6/12 month contact to be confirmed with a signed acceptance.
any arrears at contract end charged at 3% above base until cleared.
Customers CANNOT be stopped from changing supplier at term end.

This way suppliers will have to look after customers or they will move.
Customers will have to pay suppliers (complete) or they will just end up in small claims court with costs.

It seem to work in most business dealings, its worked with me for 26 years.
I know this seems very simplistic, but maybe thats whats needed, something simple.
