Has an Energy Broker Demanded Commission for a Contract That Never Went Live?

If your business is being purused for commission payments for an energy contract that did not do live....we can help.

The Problem: Commission Claims for Failed Energy Contracts

Energy brokers are increasingly pursuing businesses for commission payments were energy supplier contracts failed to go live.

These claims are often initiated by the energy brokers themselves or by third party companies such as PreAction.

Energy brokers are increasingly pursuing businesses for commission payments were energy supplier contracts failed to go live.

These claims are often framed as “breach of contract”, with brokers relying on vague or unfair terms to demand payment for loss of revenue. The revenue is the commission payments they would have received if the energy supply.

We’ve seen claim amounts range from just a few hundred pounds to over £150,000.
