“I have had a long-standing issue for 17 months with this company. I have been harassed and spammed to stay all this period with them. I have a two-bedroom flat for one adult and 3 children, with no TV, no dryer, no dishwasher and I am in a new, very well isolated building. I was told, as advertised on their website, I will be paying £600 annually and they are asking for £1400 a year. ecotricity have: 1 -Consistently underestimated my bills for 7 months then threw an £800 bill as a 'catch up' when I sent them the actual meter reading. this ends up that their estimations for 7 months in more than what I have used in 15 months. 2- Refused my attempts to switch the company 3 times which caused debt to increase to £2,350. 3- I tried to set a payment plan with them that I can afford, but got told that nobody is there from the switch team! they left early today and it is up to them either to accept a payment plan or not! extremely stressful and again harassment with not being able to switch. 4- Been ultra rude and insulted me over phone and emails. 5- Sent to my address bills with 3 different names and 3 different accounts and ALL is adding up to MY debts. I went into financial difficulty and distress. I could not cope. I wish I could give ZERO stars. As a mathematics teacher, I highly recommend that they re-do their primary school mathematics to be able to fix their problems. Definitely will take the issue over to the court. Aiming forward to see a just ending to this awful company that can throw anyone into depression.”

“Their customer service it flawed they have the organisation skills of a bunch of 3 year old playing in mud. We tried setting up a DD with eco only to receive no reply at all from them, so we payed whenever we could anyway. Now I'm not sure if it's just some really bad algorithm their using but we have had nothing but spam, harassment and threats of debt collection. All this while making payments. It has now hit the point where I intent to leave reviews like this one on every platform I can until this is finally resolved. I have exhausted all other attempts at a resolution. This company need a serious overhaul.”

“Just shocking customer service. I have had an on going problem for 6 months regarding metering, no one can help me in the small customer service team. No one ever returns calls, emails or helps in anyway. All of the customer service team appear to have very little training, or be fast asleep. I am a business customer and this is even worse as they all go home at 5pm (on the dot!).”

“Just under 1 year In new build have called and emailed every month but they cannot sort my account and never return my calls. Letter send to different address but my house listed threating legal action.. I have been trying to get them to send me a bill for year shockingly poor service.”

“Awful service have been charging me £150 to 500 a month Sent numerous emails and now I've had to contact citizens advice as it's getting me down. Two bedroom flat with 1 adult and 2 children with no heating on and water on timer. Absolute joke have asked to look into my meter and nothing has been done they won't even respond to emails.”

“If you charge your car at home and use Ecorticity make sure they have you on the discounted tariff. I have been doing this since 2015 and I found that they put me on a high tariff and wont honour the change”

“Their tariff prices are significantly higher than competitors. Absolutely abysmal scamming company. Consistently underestimated my energy bill (estimating 3x lower than what it actually was), then after 6 months stuck me with a bill for £1100. After talking to the representatives twice and explaining that 1) it is extremely sneaky that they do this. 2) I would pay this off but would need to pay it off with a payment plan, to which they agreed. I was promised communication back, of which there was none, two weeks later I start receiving calls from a collection company...Avoid Ecotricity. Disgusting, terrible company.”

“Long standing problems with this company. Always question meter reading, demanding photographic proof and sending meter reader the day after I send readings to confirm. Then ignore my readings and send an estimated bill. Finally decided to switch and then real problems started. Sent letter increasing direct debit (based on their estimates) when they knew I was switching, sent an inaccurate bill which I queried and sent further photos to prove readings, sent a letter with inaccurate charges, contacted and explained, sent final bill, PAID final bill, sent demand for payment of final bill (which was paid), sent a letter demanding payment of inaccurate bill (they said it had been rectified) with threat of referring to Credit Collection Agency. Called but no one available as they all go home early. Now all I can do is wait for the Debt Collectors to pound on my door.”

“as most companies, when things are OK, it is a smooth sail, but as soon as issues arise, it turns out it's been a nightmare. I live in a house share where one person left. She asked to get someone else who was already named kb the bill to become the main account Holder. They shut down the account and creates a new one. They still charged the previous person up to two months after, they didn't ask the new person if they wanted to take ownership of the account and by shutting down the account, despite that person being named on the previous one, ecotricity locked us out of being able to check previous bills. I wanted to become responsible for the account and I wasnt allowed until the current person volunteered me, then I had to call back and confirm things. Never ever had to do that before! I placed a complaint with the company for the previous opening/closing of the account and same guy who took the complaint down (not a manager), responded that they closed the complaint with exactly the same words they have me before I made the complaint. And to Top it all off, they sent the full details of the complaint to the email of the previous account owner! Not me!!! A proper joke of a company. Don't bother with them.”

“I wish I could give no stars. Still charging me after I have moved out, the worst energy provider I have ever used. No idea what’s going on. There are other green providers that are professional out there.”

“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.”

“Keep sending me bills from my old address even though I moved 3 months ago and have informed them 3 times now!”

“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.”

“Extortionate prices combined with the worst customer service ever! Ultra rude management and operators; a disgrace of a company. Stay away!”
