UCR Consultants

DO NOT TAKE CALLS FROM THIS COMPANY! UCR contacted us last November, six months before our current contract was due to lapse, inferred they were from British Gas, bamboozled a junior member of staff with a very fast flowing, confusing telephone call. The UCR representative did not draw breath and made it very difficult for our member of staff to even try to interrupt. He was quite clearly on a mission to get the sale and wasn't going to stop for anything! Sadly we have ended up ties into a contract for three years which will cost our company at least £10,800 in additional charges above current gas prices over the contract term. We have complained to the UIA and they have unfortunately rejected our claim. A tough lesson learned for a small business like ours. Please be very aware!

They put me on a business tariff after I told them I had just had brain surgery and was no longer running a business as I have incurable brain cancer.

Sorry to hear about your experience, We provided you with proof that you agreed the contract and signed it, you were given the option to review before signature at no point you were forced to take out the contract. If you are no longer trading and have moved out you can register a change of tenancy with the supplier and the contract would be cancelled.

Great Honest Advice, a pleasure to work with

I was very pleased to deal with an honest company. The industry has many rouge consultants looking to push a hard sale and pressure you into making a decision. We have been burnt by a few of these sharks in the past and are thankful for companies like UCR who are genuine, in particular Jasnit.

Jasnit was a great guy to deal with and made the process very simple throughout.

We agreed multiple contract at the same time and he was very patient and considerate. He also offered plenty of advice along the way.

Ignored emails

Further to previous review, 2 emails and request for high level complaints office, no response. No response to confirm cancellation in obligatory cooling off period included in their own terms and conditions, just told previously I can’t cancel. Now I’m being ignored. Shocking practices

Unprofessional , avoid at all costs

Sold to on the phone whilst driving by someone making out they were from British Gas and as soon as I realised, I tried to cancel. The very pushy salesperson refused to let me cancel saying I had agreed and told me to go to OFGEM, very professional. Firstly, The Consumer Contracts Regulations give me the right to cancel a service from the date the contract is concluded (ie the date get an Order Confirmation email) I got this on 8th November, I cancelled on 9th. I intend to take this all the way and I'm sure Ofgem will be delighted to know you just direct people to them to avoid a professional discussion. Disgraceful, unethical and rude pushy agentsQ

Excellent service from Hannah.

I am 85 years old and Hannah's treatment was exemplary. She showed endless patience, as I did my best to understand. I cannot speak too highly of Hannah's professional expertise in helping me to arrange my electric account for the forthcoming year. Thank you, Hannah. David Gunning.

Very bad customer service team

Very bad customer service team. Instead of doing lots of emails to cancel the contract, they don't have courtesy to reply and cancel the contract. They just want money.

I was bombarded by persistent staff who were not clear and do not listen. I explained we were not responsible for this property after 17th November but they said it was only prices and that didn't matter and now I get a communication saying thank you for choosing UCR. I did not purchase anything as I am not responsible for this property .Not a good experience at all. Very bad work practice.
