@girlfromnewport Hi there, it’s not unusual for energy suppliers to reach out. Always do your research and never share personal or payment information with anyone over the phone.
For DLC, we don’t make sales calls or go door-to-door to sell products. We also rarely need access inside your home.
Electric bills are on a lot of minds right now, so we thought we’d break it down and show you exactly where your money’s going.
