BestUtilitybills.net anyone have experience of this company

[gazmix]

Hi

 

I'm posting on behalf of my dad who met a person he semi-knows who now works as a distributor

for bestutilitybills.net &

 

he says he can save up to 25% per year on gas, electric, phone contracts.

 

No matter what good deal he now has, he can do better!

 

I am new to this & wondering if it is legitimate,

 

can anyone give me any advice or point me in the right direction!

 

Many Thanks

 

Gaz

Going purely by that site, i would be very very very suspicious about it.

 

After checking the site details, it seems to be a one man band and not a proper company.

 

At least the owner is easy to track down through social media if things go wrong.

It is a distributor for Utility Warehouse.

ims21, not sure what you mean!!?

 

renegadeimp, i'm guessing your saying by the 'social media' thing that itr would be the only way to get hold of someone working for a dodgy firm?

[ims21]

Utility Warehouse operates through a network of distributors.

 

They are allowed to have their own mini web sites which use the company logo, literature etc. etc.

 

This is exactly what this is....a distributor's mini website.

Im just very suspicious of it. It MAY be legit, but from experience, im just very very wary.

so it's best to stay well clear??, my dad has an appointment with the guy next friday, apparently to cut £300 a year from utilities!

The Utility Warehouse are just another supplier of Energy, Broadband, phone and mobile services.

 

If you have a read around the forum you will get a good idea of what people think of them.

 

Use the site search facility too - there is a lot on here about them.

 

Google will get you a lot of information on them.

 

Things to be aware of when the distributor comes to see your dad....

 

The distributor will be wanting to sign your dad up for all four packages mentioned. This is because that will maximise his commission. The distributor will earn from each and every bill your dad receives, not just a commission for signing up a customer.

 

Depending on his level within the business, the person above him (his recruiter) will also earn commission in the same way.

 

Like any other company there are good reports and bad reports about them.

 

Do your research and that way you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether the packages being offered are suitable.

ok will do, i think my dad was naive to think that when the bloke came round, put his laptop on & there

Thanks, i just think mt dad was naive as the bloke came round & showed on his laptop an endorsement by Terry Wogan.

They used to use French & Saunders.

 

The guy will show your dad all sorts of amazing figures and will be looking to sign him on the night for as many of the service as he can. Make sure your dad doesn't do that. Make sure he takes in all of the information, perhaps makes notes and take any leaflets or handouts.

 

He should then consider his options carefully before making his decision.

Sounds (almost) like a pyramid selling scheme!

No-one can save you 25% on your utility bills as the distributors dont make that much so they cant cut someone else's prics without losing money themselves. Telling lies to get a foot in the door.

They normally say "up to 25%" That way they arent lying.
