“Honestly this company is a complete shambles. Topping up is a nightmare either the system is down or the top up doesn't go straight to machine which is leaving me to go and put it in manually which isn't easy. I've tried to book and engineer twice both said they was coming and just never turned up. When you go to talk to someone your transfered to customer service in south Africa to be told we can't help .”

“Refused to solve a problem created by British gas. British gas came for a check up. They switched off the gas but failed to order the replacement part required. We keep getting "engineers" sent out that do nothing other than blame their colleagues for a job badly done. For four days we have had no heating, no hob to cook on and no hot water. British Gas haven't attempted to fix the problem. The "engineers" identified the problem, the part/s should have been ordered, delivered and repaired???”

“Really poor service and so dissapointed! Every time I call to explain that my in home display device or the app isn’t working or showing us the valances so we know when we are running low, the line cuts off and they never even bother returning the call. This has happened about 3 times same day! The representatives are not helpful at all, they find ways to try and get off the phone and too lazy to call back when their line cuts off. I am a new BG customer but already thinking of switching because their service is ridiculous and useless!”

“The gas and electricity supply is fine but they are increasing their prices. The website is terrible, it hasn't been working properly for a few years: cannot get into the Rewards section, and over the last 1 - 2 months, cannot submit a meter reading online”

“I think British gas has let me and my family down booking system terrible, engineers worst than useless customer service put the phone down when they are not happy with your questions phone calls not put on record. I was told I would get a call back within 48 hours after British gas could not make my Sunday PM appointment surprise surprise no phone call, I pay over 60 pounds for a service they advertise at 21.50 pounds I would love to go on TV to explain to potential customers JUST how bad they arr”

“It a joke ? These disgusting liars don't care about customers, Huge fake that treat people like they are nothing. Those errogant ask you to stay days at technician alert while nobody plan to come, If at 1 from 10 appoitments someone will come in a day delay, he doesn't have spare parts.”

“Waited 3 weeks for repair man after boiler stoped working. Engineer turned up with no spare parts. He promised to return next day but didn't show. After contacting British gas, they told me I'd have to wait another 4 weeks for another engineer. I'd been a customer of British gas homecare for 20 years. I told them to shove it and and booked an engineer off the net who attended same day. My direct debit was cancelled the same day. Diabolical customer service.”

“Unfortunately I had no choice joining BG as I was with PFP who went bust. BG are just an absolute shambles of a company, Live Chat there is never anybody available, call centre operatives can barely speak English and struggle to understand what I am saying. I set up a DD on Monday online and was told the monthly payments would be £211 , I received an email today saying thank you for setting up your DD , your payments will be £290 !!”

“The most USELESS and WORST company since Enron. I have asked to change my meter on Ten separate occasions. Every time I'm given bullsht promises and persistently lied too and promised a call back which Never happens. Banging my head against a brick wall is far more productive than calling this lousy company”

“I have credit account for electricity, they charge me for direct debit and deposit for account opening and still pre paid meter ... I pay direct debit and top up same time. Try calling british gas and 5 times transfer between departments and 40 minutes waiting all time ... and not sorted. Calm centre must be in Pakistan because only strange accent people work up there and cannot understand them. Shame”

“Absolutely fuming at British Gas's useless customer service teams. I had 4 agents cut me off as soon as they realised my complaint was a lengthy and complicated one! I am so frustrated that I am changing energy suppliers. STAY AWAY FROM BRITISH GAS. Seriously they are an absolute joke and will have you crying from frustration at their inability to assist. The live chat put me 56 in the queue. I waited for around 30 mins a time, and then as each agent either cut me off or transferred me to another agent, I was again put to the top of the queue! Calling them will have you waiting for up to an hour if not more!”
