Top tips…
- If you sign a letter of authority for a 3rd party, do not allow them permission to sign any contracts on your behalf and make sure it doesn’t have any hidden fee structures!
- Check any utility contracts you are asked to sign very carefully and get trusted advice.
- Make sure you compare suppliers fully before signing a new contract – not just on price, but standing charges, contract length and their terms and conditions.
