Lancashire firms urged to audit energy bills

By Clear Charge Claims

Across Lancashire, a growing number of business owners are beginning to question the true cost of their energy contracts.

For years, firms have paid bills they assumed were fair unaware that hidden fees and inflated tariffs may have been quietly added by brokers working behind the scenes.

The issue stems from commercial energy contracts arranged through third-party intermediaries. These brokers often receive undisclosed commissions from suppliers, which are passed back to the business through higher rates. In many cases, the business was never told a commission existed at all.

One supplier now under the spotlight is SSE Business Energy, though they are not alone. Investigations have revealed similar concerns involving British Gas, Opus, TotalEnergies, EDF, Drax, Haven, and E.ON Next.

Clear Charge Claims, based in Lancashire, is leading the charge in holding these suppliers and brokers to account. The team has built a strong track record of successfully challenging the big energy companies on behalf of businesses that have been misled or overcharged.

This is not about technicalities. It is about fairness. Businesses across the region are finding they’ve paid thousands more than they should have and they’re now taking steps to put that right.

If your energy contract was arranged through a broker at any time in the last ten years, now is the time to look again.

Clear Charge Claims will fight your corner

With experience, persistence, and a growing number of successful outcomes, the team knows what it takes to win against the major utility providers. If something doesn’t feel right about your energy deal, you don’t need to face it alone.
