Situation

Fleming Homes had recently undertaken a meter exchange at their new manufacturing site. While the physical exchange went to plan, and the new account was opened successfully, the electricity supplier didn’t close out the old account meaning that the supply contract for the new meter was set up on an out of contract basis.  

Fleming Homes

Solution

After multiple attempts to get the supplier to close the old account, Fleming Homes has exhausted all avenues to achieve a resolution and so decided to engage Boxfish to find a satisfactory resolution.

Our disputes team investigated the issue and identified multiple supplier failures against the industry codes of practice, and working with our dedicated supplier Account Manager contact, we were able to finally get the old account closed successfully. From there we were also able to recontract the supply onto market leading rates.  

Results

By getting the old account shut down, we were able to claim a refund of over £8.5k resulting from the incorrect use of out of contract rates on the account since the date of the meter exchange. We also negotiated an additional good will payment of £125 to cover the inconvenience caused by the supplier error and locked in market leading rates, securing low electricity costs into the future.

“The Team at Boxfish investigated the dispute before committing and were confident of securing the win. The result we got from them went beyond our expectations as would have been pleased just to get the contract fixed back onto a negotiated rate going forward so to end up with a significant refund of £8.5k was fantastic. Boxfish are real experts at this kind of thing and more than proved their worth.”
