Important notice!!
Evening everyone, I sincerely appologise for having to close today. We was having issues with our electric.
I want to take this opportunity to be completely open and honest with everyone that has supported us on our journey so far as I think that is only right and fair.
Before opening back in January i was cold called early in the morning and pressured into a gas contract, little did I know at the time they had signed me up for gas and electric.
after receiving an email from the electric provider I was with prior that they had been informed I had gone with a different company this is when I realised I had been signed to both gas and electric, it also turned out they was both charge ridiculous prices.
I have been contacting various people to fight this contract and try get rid of it. To no avail.
I also have had phone calls with the provider stating they was no electric contract and I had asked for the call logs which they have not provided me with, I was wanting these calls so I could fight my corner.
Today unfortunately our electric supply was cut as I was asked to pay 1800 pounds, I dont have that sort of money sat around we are a small buisness, so I couldn't prevent the electric being cut in the small time this morning they gave me to find said money, with it being our busiest morning of the week with it being a friday. So I had no option but to close.
I have been in contact with the company for most of the day, trying to sort the issue out and they have now told me I owe 3900 to get the electric back on and it could take up to 10 working days.
That means once that is paid It works out that I have been paying close to 1000 pounds a month for our electric in the shop. We dont have a lot on at all.
I have already paid this company over 2000 pounds since opening.
This is crippling for us and just as we was finally starting to get somewhere, any one who knows us or has been in to see us see how hard we work and how much we love serving you all.
I will sort this and we will be back open, I dont know when but we will be back as soon as possible.
Bigger and better and ready to serve you lot
When we do reopen the prices may slightly go up and I do appologise, I just hope you continue supporting us, a lot of time, money and effort has gone in to getting us to where we are today, and we certainly wont give up without a fight.
But we need you more than ever.
People may think this is a pity post and if people think that then so be it, but I have have been brought up to be honest and transparent.
Thankyou for your understanding
