Mis-Sold Energy Claims - Claim Compensation
Have you been mis-sold an energy contract?
Mis-sold energy claims typically refer to situations where energy companies or energy brokers mis sell to or mislead consumers. This results in consumers signing up for energy contracts or services that are not in their best interest, alongside heightened energy bills. This can lead to financial harm and inconvenience for consumers.
Here are some common examples of mis-sold gas and electric claims:
False promises:
Energy companies may promise lower energy prices or savings that do not materialise once consumers have signed up for their services.
Hidden fees:
Consumers may not be informed about hidden fees or charges associated with their gas and electricity contracts, which can lead to unexpected costs.
Hidden commissions paid to the broker:
Energy companies often pay third party intermediaries (such as a broker) a commission. Undisclosed commission from your home energy or business energy broker from the energy supplier can warrant a mis-sold energy claim.
Misleading information:
Energy sales representatives may provide inaccurate or incomplete information about the terms and conditions of the energy contract, such as energy costs, term of contract, exit fees, or variable rates.
Pressure sales tactics:
Some energy salespeople may use high-pressure tactics to convince consumers to switch energy providers without providing them with enough time to consider their options.
Switching without consent:
In some cases, consumers may have been switched to a new energy provider without their consent or knowledge.
Failure to provide proper advice:
Energy companies are obligated to provide consumers with accurate advice and recommendations that suit their individual energy usage needs. Failure to do so can lead to energy mis-selling claims.
To avoid mis-sold energy contracts, consumers and business owners should always carefully review the terms and conditions of any energy contract before signing up. They should also ask questions if they have any doubts, and be wary of high-pressure sales tactics. It’s also a good idea to compare energy deals from multiple providers to ensure you are getting the best deal for your needs.
