Lawyers acting for hundreds of small businesses across the UK are launching legal action against energy supply giants It could lead to millions of claims from businesses, similar to the PPI misselling scandal 🔴 Exclusive from DavidParsley50

Mr Small claimed that the ‘secret’ broker commissions were hidden in energy bills by being included in the customer’s tariff.

The firm will launch a number of test cases in the coming months. If successful, millions more businesses may be able to reclaim the commissions they paid. “Sacha Lord has consistently stood up for those businesses and deserves huge credit for taking this fight on.” Ask your supplier to provide detail of all the broker fees you have paid as part of your energy tariff since you agreed the deal. For example, if your company has been with the same supplier since 2000, then ask how much you have paid in broker fees since then.

If you cannot agree a settlement with your supplier, then consider adding your name to a group action by a legal firm. You could also, at this point, also take your action to a business energy claims company. “We’ve already settled cases, and it’s easy because the industry knows it’s in the wrong,” said Mr Sissons.
