Are You Owed Money from Your Energy Supplier?

Did you know your business could be owed money by your current or former energy supplier?

Across the UK, a significant number of businesses are discovering that they have been overcharged, subjected to mis-sold energy contracts or left financially disadvantaged due to hidden fees and ambiguous billing practices.

At Energy Solicitors, we specialise in helping businesses like yours to uncover these issues with transparent, fixed-fee legal support.

Why Are So Many Businesses Owed Money?

There are several common circumstances under which businesses may be entitled to recover funds from their energy suppliers. These include:

• Overcharging
  Inaccurate billing, inflated rates or errors in your contract can lead to you paying more than you should.
  
  
• Hidden Commissions & Fees
  Many contracts include undisclosed broker commissions or extra charges buried in the small print.
  
  
• Incorrect Meter Readings
  Mistakes in meter readings can result in excessive charges.
  
  
• Auto-Renewal Traps
  Some suppliers automatically renew contracts at much higher rates, often without proper notice.
  
  
• Unreturned Credit Balances
  If you have switched suppliers, you may be owed a refund for unused credit that was never returned.

If your business has switched suppliers, used an energy broker or held long-term contracts, it’s worth reviewing your bills and agreements as you could be entitled to a significant refund.

Switching Energy Suppliers: What to Watch For

While switching energy suppliers is intended to be a straightforward process, businesses may encounter unexpected challenges, such as:

• Surprise Final Bills or Termination Fees
  These can appear after you’ve switched, often with little explanation.
  
  
• Lost Credit Balances
  Money left on your old account that’s never refunded.
  
  
• Higher-Than-Expected Rates
  Sometimes the rates you end up paying are higher than what was quoted, due to unclear contract terms.
  
  
• Lack of Transparency
  It is not always clear how your charges are calculated, making it hard to spot errors.

If you have noticed any discrepancies after switching, you may have grounds to make a claim.

Can You Claim from Old Energy Suppliers?

The answer is yes. Even if you are no longer with a particular supplier, you may still be able to recover money, sometimes from contracts signed years ago. 

We have helped businesses reclaim funds where:

• Charges were unjustifiably inflated
• Refunds were never issued
• Contract terms were unclear or misleading

Many businesses only discover they have been overcharged after a legal review. Our expert team can help you take action.
