According to reports, over 50,000 businesses in the UK use energy brokers when applying for or renewing their business energy contracts. However, it has come to light that many of these contracts may be unfair, potentially entitling businesses to compensation through business energy claims.
Businesses could be deemed to have unfair contracts on any or all of the following grounds:
- Automatic renewal of the contract without notice or consent
If your energy supplier automatically renewed your contract without your knowledge or consent, you may be able to claim. - Hidden fees and costs
If your energy contract included hidden fees or charges that were not properly disclosed, you may be eligible to claim. - Misrepresentation of energy costs or charges If your energy supplier misrepresented the energy costs or charges, you may be entitled to claim. This can include:
- Advertising one rate but charging a different rate
- Failing to disclose additional charges (such as for meter readings or billing)
- Providing incorrect information about energy prices
- Failing to disclose important changes to contract terms
- Inappropriate changes in rates If your energy supplier changed the energy prices or other contract terms without informing you, you may be able to claim compensation.
- Inadequate advice and support If your energy supplier provided insufficient advice or support, you may have grounds for a claim.
If any of these situations sound familiar, you could be eligible to recover overpaid amounts.
