In our experience, many businesses are left in the dark about these fees. Transparency is key, but some brokers might shy away from disclosing the full cost. After all, would you readily sign a contract knowing a significant portion goes to the broker instead of actual energy savings?
You might have been told the service is "free" or the broker gets paid by the supplier through an "introducer's fee".
While some suppliers do offer such fees, typically, the broker's commission is built directly into the unit price you pay for your energy. This lack of transparency can leave businesses unknowingly overpaying.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Broker Saved Me Money
While brokers can sometimes secure lower initial rates, that doesn't rule out a potential claim. Hidden commissions embedded within the contract can still leave you overpaying significantly.
It occurs when an energy broker fails to disclose all relevant information about a business energy contract, leading to hidden fees or unsuitable deals.
It's common for brokers to recommend longer contracts, often citing potential market hikes. However, it's important to consider their motivation. Longer contracts not only lock you in for a period but also increase the broker's commission due to the multiplied rate

Introduction:
In today's ever-fluctuating energy market, businesses of all sizes are feeling the pinch of rising costs. But what if you're being overcharged for your gas and electricity? If you suspect discrepancies in your bill, you might be eligible for an energy claim to recover significant sums.
This blog serves as a comprehensive guide for UK businesses navigating the world of energy claims. We'll explore common scenarios where claims arise, the different types of claims you can make, and the process of getting what you're owed.
"Every successful energy claim paves the way for a more transparent and fair energy market."
When Should You Consider an Energy Claim?
Several situations might warrant investigating an energy claim:
Mis-selling: Energy brokers are legally obligated to act in your best interests. If they presented misleading information, pressured you into a contract, or failed to disclose crucial details (like hidden commissions), you might have grounds for a mis-selling claim.
Billing Errors: Human error or technical glitches can lead to incorrect meter readings, inaccurate unit pricing, and additional charges. Reviewing your bills meticulously and comparing them to your contract is essential.
Incorrect Contract Terms: Confusing and complex contracts are a common tactic used by some suppliers. If your contract contains unclear terms, unfair penalties, or pricing structures not agreed upon, a claim might be possible.
Fixed-Term Exit Fees: Breaking a fixed-term contract often incurs hefty exit fees. However, these fees must be reasonable, and some cases might allow you to negotiate lower fees or even exit the contract without penalty.
Types of Energy Claims
Understanding the various types of claims helps identify which might be applicable to your situation:
Mis-selling Claims: These focus on recovering money lost due to a broker's misleading conduct.
Billing Error Claims: These aim to rectify incorrect charges on your energy bills resulting from meter reading errors, inaccurate unit pricing, or additional fees.
Contract Breach Claims: These address situations where the supplier or broker failed to uphold the terms of the agreed-upon contract.
Exit Fee Claims: These challenge unreasonable exit fees from fixed-term contracts or seek a fairer negotiation.
The Energy Claims Process: What to Expect
Here's a general breakdown of the energy claims process:
Initial Assessment: Contact a reputable energy claims company specializing in business claims. They'll assess your situation and determine if you have a valid claim. This assessment is often free and involves reviewing your contracts and bills.
Gathering Evidence: If you have a valid claim, the claims company will gather evidence to support your case. This might include historical bills, contracts, communication records with the supplier/broker, and expert analysis of the situation.
Negotiation or Dispute Resolution: The claims company will attempt to negotiate a fair settlement with the supplier/broker directly. If this fails, they may escalate the case to the relevant dispute resolution body, such as the Energy Ombudsman.
Compensation: If the claim is successful, you'll receive compensation for the overcharged amount, potentially including interest and any applicable fees.
Important Considerations When Making an Energy Claim
Time Limits: There are time limits for making energy claims (typically 12 months after the error occurred or you became aware of it).
Success Fees: Many energy claims companies operate on a "no win, no fee" basis, meaning you only pay if they recover money for you. This eliminates upfront financial risk.
Professional Expertise: Navigating energy contracts and legal intricacies can be complex. Working with a reputable energy claims company ensures a thorough assessment, efficient claim handling, and maximizes your chances of success.
