We exist to help UK businesses recover money they were overcharged through hidden energy broker commissions. That is the entirety of what we do.
For well over a decade, a significant proportion of UK businesses that used energy brokers were being systematically overcharged — not through obvious fraud, but through a structural conflict of interest that was rarely disclosed and often not understood even by those operating within it.
Energy brokers earn commission from suppliers. When that commission is built into the unit rates a business pays — and when the business is never told how much the broker earned, or given genuine consent to the arrangement — the result is a contractual overcharge that businesses have a legitimate right to recover.
CheckMyEnergyClaim.co.uk was established to address this directly. We are not a generalist claims management company. We do not handle personal injury claims, mis-sold payment protection insurance, or any other category of financial redress. Our team, our processes, and our expertise are built entirely around the specific mechanics of energy sector broker commission claims.
That focus means we understand the regulatory landscape — including the role of Ofgem, the Competition and Markets Authority, and the courts — more deeply than any generalist firm. It means we know which suppliers and brokers have been most implicated, how commission structures were typically constructed, and what evidence is most material to a successful outcome.
of our work is in energy claims. No distractions, no diluted expertise.
Standard claims look-back period from date of first awareness.
Upfront costs. Our fee is only payable from what we recover.
Typical turnaround for an initial eligibility assessment.
We understand that pursuing a claim is a decision that requires trust. It involves sharing financial information, committing time, and accepting some uncertainty about outcomes. We work hard to make that process as manageable and transparent as possible.
We assess every case candidly. If we do not believe you have a viable claim, we tell you — clearly and promptly. We do not pursue weak cases hoping for a settlement, because that is not in your interest or ours.
We handle correspondence with brokers and suppliers directly. We obtain documentation on your behalf wherever possible. The time commitment we ask of you is kept to a minimum — most clients find the process far less burdensome than anticipated.
Before any work begins, you receive a clear letter of engagement setting out our fee structure, the process, your rights, and what to expect. We communicate at every significant stage and respond to queries promptly.
We would rather decline a case than pursue something unlikely to succeed. Businesses deserve a candid assessment, not false encouragement designed to generate fee income at their expense.
Deep expertise in a narrow field produces better outcomes than broad coverage of many. We chose to know everything about energy claims rather than something about everything.
Claims processes involve legal and financial complexity. Our obligation is to translate that complexity into language that every client can follow and act upon, without being patronising.
Because we work on a no-win, no-fee basis, our incentives are aligned with yours. We succeed only when you do. That alignment is not just contractual — it shapes every priority and decision.
The legal and regulatory basis for energy broker compensation claims has strengthened considerably in recent years. A series of court decisions, regulatory interventions, and market investigations have confirmed both the scale of the problem and the rights of affected businesses.
The Competition and Markets Authority identified concerns about Third Party Intermediary (TPI) practices as far back as its 2016 energy market investigation. Ofgem subsequently introduced strengthened rules requiring brokers to disclose their commission arrangements in writing. Businesses contracted before or during the period of inadequate disclosure may have claims that predate these reforms.
A free, no-obligation review takes minutes. If we identify a viable claim, we handle everything from that point forward at no cost unless we succeed.
