Any potential new customers should stay clear of this provider. Any potential new customers should stay clear of EDF...absolute diabolical service.If I could give no stars I would have,just disgusting customer service. Second time today being on for 20mins then call was ended abruptly,as customer service call claim she could not hear me lies...

Terrible company with terrible customer service needs negative stars. Several years ago they fitted a smart meter for us and didn’t charge for 6 months over winter when we heavily use gas because we have a big area to heat, and countless times when I got in touch to ask to pay something I was told I couldn’t as our meter wasn’t showing. A young family, 2 relatively small incomes and hit with a bill of £876.01, whilst then also being expected to pay a monthly amount towards current billing. At every step of the way my personal circumstances have been ignored, every request has been ignored. I asked if I could be forewarned of any changes to my direct debit as it kept jumping up to really unmanageable amounts but every single time there was no warning it came off and then I got an explanation. Then I had to battle to get it back down to an amount of could afford including both a monthly payment and a debt repayment. And I’ve been stuck in this cycle ever since. We haven’t missed a payment up until this month when I’ve decided enough is enough. Then this summer we both lost our jobs under really distressing circumstances which only added to the pressure, and once again, our direct debit jumps up without warning. Thank goodness we are so skint it didn’t come off it was an obscene amount to be expected to pay monthly. Several times when I have pushed back with customer service about our usage, explaining I know it’s high but it’s not that high, they have changed their tune and amended the amounts. Total crooks exploiting the poor. I have tried to move away several times and been blocked every time. I would have taken my debt away to another company to be repaid if I could have just to get away from dealing with EDF but I was told this was not an option. I borrowed money to pay off all of the outstanding payments so I could move to my chosen provider this month who I already use for electricity and they have been fantastic (Bulb energy), but once again it has been blocked. Even after the EDF complaints team “assuring” me this wouldn’t happen. Totally unacceptable! I have been suicidal over this situation. Which sounds ridiculous because it is a gas bill. But that is how much stress it has caused and I have felt completely trapped. And when I told EDF all this it was brushed off. I will do everything in my power to get justice here and ensure that nobody else is treated with such contempt. I really hope this company is humbled and brought to the ground.

Moved into my new house in September 2020 .. changed the supply from EDF in October 2020 . Out of the blue I recieve a debt collection letter for £482.23 for electricity supply from Feb 2021 to May 2021 ? .. called edf ..they confirmed account closed no outstanding balance, then called LCS debt management.. they called edf and confirmed the investigation still active. Despite knowing I'd moved to Avro energy back in October last year .. they are still wanting to charge me this random amount . This company have to rank as the worst on the energy market

Absolutely shocking customer service have made no attempt to resolve any issues with our smart meters which they installed. 5 months of phone calls and emails only to be told there not going to do nothing about it, AVOID

I was on a fixed price tariff. I stopped my existing direct debit of £46 per month after I get a message saying they were raising it to £126 per month and I was unable to contact anyone. Eventually it gets resolved and EDF say they have set up a new direct debit, they send me conformation of this, however they never took the money from my bank, I then get threats to settle the outstanding debt which I did. I then get notified that as I had paid my account in full my fixed price tariff was cancelled. And I should set up a new deal at a much higher price. I have tried contact by post email and whatsapp. Only reply I got was they did not like my language, I called them Bloody Incompetent, in my correspondence with them. By the way they are. I will be going to the ombudsman. Do not trust this company, they lie and always try to blame you for their mistakes.

My mother, 83 in a one bed flat was emailed a very high bill based on an 'estimate' from Green Energy. This was way over her regular and current usage. Efforts to represent her on the phone were obstructed because, even when she gave her permission for me to speak on her behalf, they first refused to provide any evidence that she had used the electricity of a small business and then simply did not ring me back on the third and fourth occasions. At least there is a strange comfort in reading so many bad reviews, even if EDF don't care. A 'class action' might get somewhere.

Never Again! I’m calling them or texting them 3 times in a month. I give them meter readings every month and they send me bills with estimate reading. I have monthly tariff and I have to ask for my bills. When I thought I finally solved the issues they sent me bills from the date what I already paid. When you pay your bills They take money of your bank and say it’s suspended and when you go in your app you can’t see your bill for what you actually paid .

Stay away from those thiefs. At the beginning everything sounds perfect and one day they will ask you to pay an amount which will never make sense. From that point and onwards you will not be able to talk to customer service and they will start getting more money from your account without asking.

Extremely poor customer services, I m surprised they are allow to do business in the U.K. They never follow through what they agree to do. I had numerous issues with meter reading when I moved to my currently address, they were constantly overcharging and ignoring the reading.It took 3 months and I m still not sure if it accurate. Then I called to say that my old flat will be empty and I wanted to reduced to direct debt, yes they said - new agreement was sent etc, they still continue to take the same direct debt, even though I have a smart meter in that flat they keep telling me asking me to send a meter reading. I asked them to change my email account so I could set up online account, - yes we can do that for you Mr. …. Guess what? Still not done.

Poor from start to finish. I was always largely in debit no matter what season; I didn’t accrue enough credit over the summer months to make winter payments more manageable despite paying an additional amount at the end of the Winter season. Just four months after paying this to settle my account, I was over £400 in debit again (this time for the Summer months!?) They provided plenty of jargon to explain and have a very complicated billing system. A means to be dishonest, I’m convinced. After a few years of this, I decided to move to another provider and won’t ever go back!

Absolutely disgusting energy company, they are ruthless and money grabbers and some staff beyond rude, if you have a prepayment meter and owe them any money they don't want to help you they just take take take. I cannot wait to switch and never go back!!!

I paid estimated bills. EDF owe me £300. I’ve submitted meter readings. I’ve emailed, called, used WhatsApp over 25 times and they keep fobbing me off. They’re refusing to return my money. Horrible company. Wish I’d never signed up to them.

After sending a meter reading, I found it impossible to get confirmation that it had been received. In fact, it seems a struggle to talk to a human being at all. Extract from Chat: "I am here to help you get an answer", and then, "The chat session has been closed by your EDF advisor"

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING. Sent a completely made up bill and had to argue and argue until they admitted it was "estimated" and I did not need to pay it.
