“Horrible company on all fronts, and if you have them as your current supplier switch as soon as you can. I got Buckingham Palace bills for a garden shed. None of their billing is correct as they apply variables on different aspects which ensures you really don't know how they calculate your bills. If you have them estimate you're usage I can guarantee they will send you very low bills until you send them and actual meter reading and then your world will be turned upside down. This company is set up to steal and then fail. This company is criminal and Karma will kick in.”
“They may have green credentials but they are extortionately expensive and their customer service has rapidly gone downhill. It takes half an hour just to get through to them on the phone. There are other much better and cheaper suppliers out there.”
“Awful experience with Ecotricity. They mis-billed me for 3 years, despite me providing correct meter readings. Once I ended my contact and left the country they tried charging me a £5K bill! Stay well clear of this disgraceful company.”
“As a disabled customer I was unable to get to the bank to deposit funds to top up my smart meter. One phone call and Ecotricity had topped up my meter for me giving me time to get money into the bank. Absolutely amazing company, 5* are not enough.”
“Don't be fooled by this companies image nor it's slick 'Green' marketing campaign. Extortionate prices, couldn't-give-a-monkeys customer "service" managers. Overcharging me for 12 months based on estimates despite being supplied multiple meter readings. OFGEM rules state that inaccurate bills based on guess work do not have to be paid until an accurate usage figure has been calculated and any monies owed refunded.
Dale Vince tries to portray himself as an eco warrior...just another bandit CEO looking to steal from everyone he can. Swerve this bunch thieves at all costs.”
“Avoid this company like the plague. I moved into a new flat in October last year, keep ringing to be told there’s a high volume of new customers and I’m on their ‘proirity’ list, it’s been 6 months now and I’ve not had so much as a letter from them, never mind even a customer number, welcome pack or a bill! Customer service just gives the same excuse every time that there is a long waiting list for new customers, surely not six months worth!? It’s meant I’ve had to keep money aside when I don’t even know how much my monthly bill will be, and will inevitably be hit by a massive bill when they finally pull their fingers out, I will have probably moved into a new flat by the time they do.”
“The worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Joined them in April 2018 and it took them just under to change the smart meters.
The gas meter is stuck on one reading and the smart meter reading unit never gives actual meter readings just estimated.
Changed back to BG and it has taken them two months to get any sense from Ecotricity.
I am a carer of someone with Dementia, which I made clear, when complaing to Ecotricity.
Because it is nearly eleven months to sort things out it was/is extremely stressfull because of not knowing how much I owed.
I have requested a full and detailed statement, at least six times by email and signed for letter, of how much energy is being used and they have never supplied me with the info. All bills have been estimated.
I have now made a complaint to the Energy Ombudsman and I'm waiting for a response.
I also communicated by email and phone and they have never replied.”
“OFGEM raised the cap so Ecotricity swiped the full 10% increase overnight. That'll be £150/yr increase for us. They might claim to have green credentials and a hippy boss but don't be fooled, Ecotricity are just another energy company putting profit before people.”
“My monthly bill has increased significantly so I made an enquiry as to why -
Your usage has increased (that old chestnut) which even if it had shouldn’t account for such a rise per month, I’ll be making comparisons when I have time and switch to another provider, I expect the following response........
I’m sorry to hear you’re unhappy but there’s been an increase plus Ecotricity are saving the planet (and using consumer funds to do it with).
I’m off....,”
“Very expensive electricity with poor customer service.
Have been with this company for 3 months now and every moth the bills are getting bigger and bigger. I am paying loads of money for 4 hrs a day of electricity (work every day until 8pm) for a single person in a studio flat!!
I was given a display for my flat that would show me day by day my approximate bill and how much electricity I’m consuming. This month the estimated amount for my bill was £31 and I ended up with a final bill of £60!!!!! Called the company to ask them for an explanation and they told me that the in house display it’s not accurate. So please can somebody explain me why would you provide users with a useless meter!!!!! I believe that to be a scam!!!
Customer service advisor had no answer for me, and just told me that yes the company has expensive prices and that if I can’t afford it should think of moving to a different one! That’s when I realised the company was a joke! I would definitely end my contract if it wasn’t for my landlord. Unfortunately I have to stick to Ecotricity but will write reviews to advise people not to choose this company!!”
“Customer service is horrendous and extremely patronising. Moved in to property on April n still having problems tried to switch twice and their is always a new issue that comes up to stop us moving. WOULD NOT recomend.”
“Terrible customer service. No one ever returns calls even though my complaint has been flagged as critical! Fed up of ringing and emailing. Problems have been going on for over a month. Being billed for someone else's meters and being sent chasing text messages and letters. Have changed suppliers on 1st Oct and still I am being billed! I would not recommend this company to anyone.”
“Horrible company. Just moved into a new property 8 months ago and just calculated my average gas and elec use as £260 per month which is ridiculous for a one bed flat. Customer service is so bad my only advice would be to avoid as it will just confuse even more. Switch to an honest supplier because this one will over charge like no other.”
“staff are patronizing and cant do simple maths , said I was using £50 a month on gas and electric combined but wanted me to pay £100 a month!! expensive AS HELL!”
“Terrible customer service, was left unable to top up my account for over a week. Left within a month of joining. Phone operators seem to have absolutely no idea, was given completely different information every time I spoke to someone. Shockingly bad.”
“Awful service , well no service, no account number sent, no welcome pack as promised, money straight out of bank account ( of course ), Customer Service do not answer phone for at least 20 minutes a call and then can go dead. Staff are arrogant. Change renewable or not.”
“Have just switched to Bulb and so far this has been very simple. Only took a few minutes to make the switch and it will save me £25 per month on my dual fuel bills (compared to the previous provider). Communication has been excellent so far and the fact that all the energy is renewable is a great bonus.use my link and get free
