Awful on all fronts. Hopeless systems, dreadful attitude and complaints process not fit for purpose. Cannot ( will not) fix Smart Meter problem and claim they will be fined for replacing equipment. Steer clear

JUST NIGHTMARE! EDF WANTS TO KEEP ME VIOLENTLY. I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO ANOTHER SUPPLIER, BUT EDF DOESN'T SENDS ME BILL SO I CAN PAY AND LEAVE THEM. INSTEAD THEY CONTINUE TO SENT ME THEIR ABUSIVE OFFERS, EVEN I FORBID AND ASKED TO LEAVE ME ALONE. TRUSTPILOT DELETED OPTION "REPORT TO COMPANY"; SO CALLED "LIVE CHAT" IS NOT WORKING, ON PHONE NOTHING, BUT BRUTAL COWS AFTER OVER 45 MIN WAITING ... HOW TO GET MY BILL LETTER??? NIGHTMARE!!! EDF SHOULD BE FORCED TO LIVE IN SITUATION THEY HAVE CREATED TO US - ALL IN 1.2* OF 5*. ALL - FOOD, CLOTHES, HOMES, CARS, MEDICINE ... ETC ETC ETC - WORLD 1.2* ...

I've been trying since May 2022 to get a new meter fitted as ours doesn't give a reading. All my bills are estimated and I'm at my wits end. They say can you send a picture of your meter that doesn't work!!!!. So I did

The have told me nothing but lies.i have not received a single penny of the government's energy Grant . It is pointless dealing with them and i wholeheartedly recommend you just switch suppliers as they are no better than thieves (they have blamed their records they have blamed the government and they have blamed the royal mail as an excuse not to give me what is lawfully mine) ! They are even aware of me being disabled and needing the grant because the temperature have been minus zero for over a week ! Ofcom needs to do their job thoroughly and look into them.

Any queries I have, and I’ve had several, via email, text or WhatsApp aren’t answered and I have to go through the same rubbish every time - waiting 5 or 6 days or longer and then the conversation is ended without any satisfactory conclusion or even the chance for me to reply..even complaints are dealt with badly. The have probably the worst customer service I have ever experienced, no one taking proper ownership and no one giving a damn as they know we’re all stuck with them for the foreseeable future.. I am currently, almost, £900 in credit, just had a bill, have used just over £1600 energy in the past 12 months but pay nearly £300 a month as my ‘estimated yearly usage’ is just under £3600..£2000 more than I’ve actually used and they have data for..and there’s no one to find out why they’re bleeding me dry..utterly disgusting treatment.

“You have taken an unauthorised payment of £308.01. You tried to take this last month and after lengthy contact with your agents you advised it was an error and wouldn’t happen again. I have contacted your call centre today, first time in hold for 30 mins. Agent advised he was refunding then disconnected me. I have his email contact. He did not attempt to call back. I called again and was on hold for 40 mins. Agent advised he could not refund without a meter reading which he eventually obtained. This is completely irrelevant to the issue. He further advised he couldn’t refund without a manager and ALL of the managers were in a meeting. I used to be a complaint handler for a large company and occasionally this excuse was used there too so please don’t take me for an idiot. He could offer not help at all and put me on hold without advising me he was doing so. On the call listening to the same soul sapping music for 1 hour and 20 minutes before a manager, Anna picked up, took details and again out on hold. Advised she has escalated to CEO office and will call back within 24 hours. 2 hours on phone. As if 18/12/22 - NO response from customer service, NO response from CEO complaints, NO refund. EDF are criminals.

Advised she has escalated to CEO office and will call back within 24 hours. 2 hours on phone. As of 16/12/22 no call back as promised and no further contact. This is what I need to happen. 1. Confirmation complaint raised and escalated. 2. I want a timely call back from a senior team manager as promised within 24 hours. 3. I expect adequate compensation for the unauthorised debit, the excruciatingly poor customer service and my time for calls and messaging. 4. Immediate refund for unauthorised debit. I am taking this issue very seriously which is tantamount to theft. Absolutely taken aback by the shockingly poor EDF service. I will continue daily to leave poor reviews, tweets and pursue publicly until a suitable resolution is reached. If no further action I’ll log as fraud with the authorities and pursue legally.

Omg...where to start! This is the WORST company I have ever had to deal with. It doesn't matter what day you call, or when you call....the staff are rude, clearly hate their jobs, and take it out on the customer. The wait message says there is a long wait, and it's not kidding. Be prepared to sit for 45 minutes, on a good day. The message tells you to be polite to their hard working staff....clearly a lot of irate customers. They make MASSIVE profits, and don't put anything into their customer service, or their cracked and rusted nuclear plants.... a disgrace. Octopus on the other hand..... Brilliant :) A refreshing change, fast pick up, and the staff are friendly and polite. Superb app.

Very bad service, as I have been charged over £3500 debt. I have been forced to join in this company. Warning me even when I'm poor to pay this in full. Not responding quickly. Keep disconnecting when their are busy. Never listen or respecting the customer service request properly. Transferred from the credit meter to the Pay as you go meter. Very poor customer service. And even when I have topped up. Its still keep disconnected. When I ask them to try to reconnect The Pay as you Go smart meter is completely. It still does not reconnected which this is a very poor service.

SHOCKING customer service, been holding on the phone for over 2 hours and 30 minutes, and finally the call is dropped after going through 3 different people. I am a business wanting to upgrade to a 3-phase meter and use more electric. Your hold voice says that you are extremely busy and the call may take 30 minutes to answer, WHY? The simple answer, employ more people in this country, EDF makes millions of pounds profit per quarter try giving some customer service

Wow! What a rude customer service advisor! Absolutely shocking. I had called in to an advisor around 11:25am on Monday 12th December 2022 where I was waiting for around 20 minutes for a very very rude agent to answer the call like she is my enemy. Who then puts me on hold without an explanation and then takes me off after a further 5 minutes and asks for my details still rude and stuck up. Went onto put me on hold again and the call ended. I have not even transitioned to EDF yet but wow absolutely shocking I have never experienced this before in my life.

Absolutely shocking customer service. Dont even bother to reach them they dont exist. The final bill is a nightmare to get if you even get the correct one or if they bother to check if you have already paid the bill they keep posting you. I have on several occasions tried to call, text and chat with them, the phones are the worst so don't call them, you just wait over 1 hour and soundly they just hang up on you, happened few times now for me I have given up.

MOVED HOUSE LAST MARCH , COMPANY WAS EDF FOR ENERGY SO TO SAVE ANY HASSLE I JUST STUCK WITH THEM. NEVER EVER HAVE I EXPERIENCED SUCH A BAD COMPANY. SPEND DAYS OF PHONE TRYING TO GET THROUGH AS ANSWERS I NEED ARE NOT ONLINE. THE CHAT MESSAGE THING IS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. AT SUCH A WORRYING TIME THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BOTHERED. PROMISES OF CALLING BACK NEVER HAPPEN AND SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE DOWN SO THEY CANNOT ANSWER YOU WHEN YOU DO EVENTUALLY GET THROUGH.... ABSOLUTLEY SHOCKING

Fuming 😡 we actually had a good balance on out account. Recent bill, way underestimated on our gas usage, have the app, I added it up, why can’t they ? We actually have smart meter’s, which clearly are a waste of time, still estimated bills. They have now returned the balance to our bank account, which means, going into Winter, we are now falling behind on what we will owe them. Will be leaving this company as soon as we can.
