FAQS

Find out if you have been mis-sold energy

1Can I get out of a business gas energy contract?
Yes, a business gas energy contract can be breached by either party, and rescission is the legal remedy employed to set aside the contract, restoring the parties to their pre-contract positions. Rescission is primarily used as a remedy for misrepresentation and falls under equitable remedies. However, it's important to note that rescission may not be available if certain legal barriers, such as the affirmation of the contract or the passage of time, are present.

If you're facing challenges with your business gas energy contract, Energy Advisory Service is here to assist you. Whether it's a breach of contract, misrepresentation, or any related issue, contact us today for expert guidance and support in navigating these matters effectively.
2Can I take legal action against the energy supplier?
You might have the opportunity to recover the expenses associated with undisclosed broker or third-party intermediary (TPI) commissions through legal action. It is strongly advised that you consult with an independent legal expert for guidance on this matter. For detailed information on this topic relevant to your business, you can find answers here: "Third Party Intermediaries: what your microbusiness needs to know."

Seeking clarity or assistance regarding undisclosed broker or third-party intermediary (TPI) commissions? Energy Advisory Service (EAS) is here to help. Contact us today to discuss your specific situation and receive expert guidance on your options.
3Are energy companies refunding money for mis-sold energy claims?
Yes, energy companies are offering refunds for mis-sold energy claims. If you've been mis-sold a gas energy contract or suffered financial losses due to billing errors, you can potentially receive refunds. In certain cases, the independent Energy Ombudsman can grant refunds up to £10,000. If you suspect a mis-sold business energy contract, gather evidence to initiate your claim. Remember, you have rights in cases of unfair treatment, including mis-selling or billing issues, and you may be entitled to compensation in addition to recouping missed savings.
4How much compensation will I get for mis-sold business gas energy?
The potential for a refund depends on several factors, including the presence and conduct of a broker during the sale, the business's energy consumption, the costs per kilowatt-hour (KWH), and the expected market price. Additionally, various contractual aspects, such as overrides and the actual standing charge, should be taken into account. It's worth noting that on certain contracts, commission rates per KWH reached as high as 7 pence per unit.

Energy Advisory Service (EAS) is ready to advocate for your compensation. Call us or Fill out the form today for expert support on broker conduct, costs, and contract intricacies, ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.
5Are there any time limits or deadlines for pursuing compensation for a mis-sold energy contract in the UK?
The timeframe for taking action in response to a breach of contract is constrained by a limitation period, which typically spans 6 years from the point at which the breach becomes known. The specific starting point for this period hinges on the date of contract formation. It's important to note that since such information is publicly available, businesses have only a limited window to investigate the breach and pursue a legal claim within this set timeframe.

It is important that you contact Energy Advisory Service to look into this for you. Get in touch with us and we’ll start the investigation into your business gas energy claim.
6Do energy brokers have to disclose commissions?
As of October 1, 2022, suppliers and brokers must ensure that microbusinesses receive clear information about the nature and costs of offered contracts. The information on Third Party Intermediary (TPI) costs included in the bill must be part of the Principal Terms and provided in written form for all contracts. This information should be presented as the total cost in pounds and pence for the contract's duration, in line with SLC 7A.10C.2. The disclosure of principal terms is required both before the microbusiness enters into a contract and again within 10 days of contract initiation, as outlined in Ofgem's guidelines.

If you have any concerns or issues related to your energy contracts or Third Party Intermediary costs, contact our Energy Advisory Service today, and let us help you navigate these matters effectively.
7What types of businesses are most vulnerable to mis-sold energy contracts in the UK?

8How long does it typically take to resolve a compensation claim for a mis-sold energy contract in the UK?
