Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need a Letter of Authority?
In order for LSI to provide a quotation, LSI will ask for a signed letter of authority on headed paper. A specific form of words is required and a template is provided for download. Due to the provisions of the data protection act, suppliers will not allow LSI to provide a quotation, confirm details of your contract, look at consumption data to evaluate potential savings, or submit a Notice of Termination (see below) without this letter. The letter of authority does not give LSI authority to sign contracts on behalf of a customer.
It is standard to ask for a letter giving authority for up to two years to allow us to provide our account management service, but this is not compulsory. Customers can cancel the authority at any time with a single phone call or email to LSI.
My supplier has told me you've cancelled my contract! What does this mean?
The terms and conditions on utility contracts are complex, and if a customer falls foul of them they can find themselves locked into an expensive contract for up to three years without their explicit consent, or paying expensive out of contract penalty rates while moving to another energy supplier.
To avoid this, something called a Notice of Termination must be served on your supplier and LSI do this as soon as we are asked for a quotation. This is an important part of the service LSI provides and protects you from financial penalties at the expiry of your contract. This process is sometimes misleadingly referred to by energy suppliers as "cancelling a contract", but does not in any way end a contract prematurely, change the rates currently being billed, or prevent you remaining with your current supplier if you choose.
