Tease and Squeeze Pricing by the Energy Companies
10th September 2016
Is it any wonder that energy companies are perpetually under scrutiny, not least by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), when they engage in practices that are so self-evidently profit-maximising and likely to disadvantage some of the most vulnerable in society?
In this instance, suppliers welcome customers with one year deals and then, if they don't renew or change them, default them onto higher tariffs. Legal? Yes. Moral? No. Profit-maximising? I couldn't possibly say.
And the worst offenders? The so-called 'Big Six' it would appear.
