Breach of contract - fine

I was called and they pushed to enter a contract. I was unaware but I was on an auto renew with my last company and could not end the contract so Utility bidder said I owe them a £750 fine as I was in breach of their contract. We are a small buisness and use around £300 PA for our electric, so I see this to be unfair.

This fine has since been reduced to £120 with VAT which is still a lot for a small buisness. We have been left in a possition that I have to pay. My advide is to check before you enter into a contract so you are not in the same situation.

Hi Helen 2

We take onboard your feedback and response you have provided on both TrustPilot and complaints made to our Customer Services team.

Our goal is always to operate to the highest professional standards, and we have extremely thorough quality-control processes in place to ensure a smooth transition between contracts and suppliers. While these steps may not always be visible, they are consistently carried out with care and precision when a contract is agreed with us.

This clause exists within our terms of service because these processes are completed as standard for every agreement with the mutual understanding that the contract will go live.

That said, we fully understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we always take our customers’ situations into account. We understand that after speaking to our customer services team that this matter is now resolved.

Thanks

Relaxed sales experience

Most particularly, the experience was reasonably unpressurised to proceed with a deal and Bradley was responsive to questions put to him. He didn't bombard me with hastening emails until I was ready to proceed.

Gas Supplier Change

I completed an online enquiry form and within 5 minutes David Grimshaw called me, discussed what my business was looking for and found me the best deal available, the whole process was done in 20 minutes. I would highly recommend.

Until I spoke to David at Utility Bidder. I was not aware of all the changes in non-commodity costs which are coming this year.

The documents, which were sent to me, were very useful and gave me a much better understanding of what is going to happen.

As a result, I have fixed for 3 years and feel very pleased with the decision I have made.

Excellent service provided by Mr Chun

Working with Chun has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. He made the entire process smooth and easy, even resolving a few unexpected issues quickly, which saved me a lot of time and hassle.

As a first time user of a broker, I was initially hesitant, but Chun took the time to clearly explain all my options. He made everything easy to understand and helped me secure the best possible rates without any pressure or confusion.

He consistently went above and beyond and has kept me updated, managing expectations, and ensuring I felt confident in every decision, even when delays from my previous provider caused complications.

I’ll definitely continue working with Chun in the future.

utility bidder

In 2022, our company engaged Utility Bidder and entered into an energy contract scheduled to end in February 2026. In June 2025, we unexpectedly lost our premises and were required to relocate within a week. Due to the urgency of the move, we attempted to cancel our utility accounts promptly. We were unable to transfer our energy contract because our new location is a serviced building.

When cancelling our British Gas Lite account, we were informed that no further action was required. As Utility Bidder acts solely as a broker and there is no direct communication between the broker and the supplier, small businesses are often left exposed when such information is not properly shared. This is what occurred in our case.

We were advised at the end of June 2025 that everything on our account was settled. However, we have now received notice—several months later—stating that we owe £4,000 on the basis that we failed to notify Utility Bidder of our departure from the property, and that this constitutes a breach of contract. We dispute this, as we acted in good faith, relied on the information provided at the time of cancellation, Utility Bidder have not contacted us at all, just got a legal letter from a company called pre action and given 21 days to pay

Hi Adamo London,

We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our service.
We would love the opportunity to try and resolve any issues, however unfortunately we are only provided with limited information on the review. Therefore we have requested more information through Trustpilot if you could please provide this.

Once we have the further information we will look further into your case and one of our team will call you to discuss further.

Good experience and would use again

David Grimshaw was professional and helpful. Although setting up the new contract was slightly more complicated due to the old supplier, David navigated the process with great knowledge. A pleasure to do business with!

Katrina Baker aka SUPERWOMAN

Katrina Baker has provided the most amazing guidance and support in reference with our continuous complaint to Yorkshire Gas and Power, which later resulted in the Ombudsman taking on our case. Without her continued help and professionalism I do not believe we would have obtained the favourable decision made by the Ombudsman. Katrina has gone above and beyond her duties and is a credit to Utility Bidder.
