Don’t Get Caught Out!

When an Electricity or Gas supplier has been notified of a change of tenancy, usually by the previous/tenant owner, they immediately raise the price for the supply of Gas and Electrcity to the premises, sometimes by upto 200%! Most new proprietors are not aware that they are on a high rate and don’t notice it until they receive their bill and have been stunned by the amount they have to pay, some unfortunately don’t realise until many months later after a number of unusually high bills. When the customer does realise and rings the supplier they are simply told that it is their fault for not querying the price they were paying before using the electricity and gas.

Is this legal? Unfortunately this is perfectly legal and is a practise carried out by all the suppliers. These prices are known in the industry as Deemed rates. By using the gas and electricity without agreeing on a price you have been deemed to have accepted the price the Electricity and Gas suppliers have set.
