I've been on hold for over 1hr 30mins now just to give a meter reading because the edf app is down for maintenance and the websites won't work either. How convenient being it the last day to give meter readings before the shafting of energy prices yet again. 🤔

Customer service needs to be improved! I was waiting for an hour to get through. When I did, I gave them my account details and they put me on hold for extra 20mins! Told them I just wanted to pay a bill. Very rude.

My whole experience with EDF has been a nightmare. They took over GNE who has made some mistakes In billing. I appreciate there will be issues. However I gave them all the correct information numerous times. I was then told my monthly debit was increasing from 99 pound to 617pound, and I owed 1600 pounds. They kept estimating my electric usage to 4x what I used and gas to 3x the amount. When showing them correct figures they kept doing the same. It took 6 months to resolve. Over 30 hours of waiting on phone calls, being hung up on by rude incompetent staff and writing emails. I revieved letter after letter causing stress as I could not afford this stupid figure they made up. When I eventually did the work for them and raised it to the CEO team they even initially tried scamming more money. When back calculating costs I owed, they were using the inflated price per unit of today's date which was more than double that I used at the time (BE CAREFUL AND CHECK WHAT YOU ARE PAYING) finally they admitted I owed 300 pound and my monthly debit was 117 pounds. After 6 months of my time I managed to fix it. They do not value thier customers at all, they arranged dates and times to call back so I would be able to answer as I work shifts and would never call, thus wasting more of my time. Absolute joke regarding thier customer service.

Awful resolution for problems. It took me 3 and a half weeks to sort out a problem EDF had created. They shut my account with no warning, and proceeded to tell me it was my fault. I had to deal with very long waits trying to get hold of someone and once through they were grossly unhelpful. I was promised to be phoned back by many agents, and this never happened. I had to keep ringing them to get any help. Avoid EDF at all costs!

There customer contact service is automated and cannotunderstand simple messages. Eventually they say somebody will contact you, but on previous contacts I may as well talk to my dog (I don’t have a dog) What a useless shower

In my opinion EDF will get customers into debt , they have extremely poor customer service, had to argue whey I hadn't had a bill in over 4 months then after numerous messages and calls I get a bill saying my direct debit is increasing to £400 a month yet over the winter period (4 months in this case) I used £400 surly that £100 a month. Ohh and if your looking for the 24h support it a total waist of time normally the reply is an agent will get back to you in 72h what a joke.

Please don't go to them. I have been offered a £61 per month direct debit, for a small apartment and after 2 months they wanted to charge me more than double. I sorted that out in many days and investigations. They charge me a few bills for the same period, now again, after a few months, they want to charge me £4.000 for a year. It is never-ending and I begin to believe that they are harrasing people on purpose until they just give up. I am seriously thinking about suing them.

I have been on the phone to EDF for 7 days spoke to many people who promised me they would sort out the problem. They did not, training of staff is non existent. Tenants cut off twice cannot top up because system is failing. How many times and how many people do I have to speak with to get electricity. What a shambles how can this company offer such zero customer service.

Our energy company went bust, so we’ve been automatically transferred to EDF. Absolutely rubbish, we can’t even set up a direct debit, after numerous attempts by my husband to do this, it asks for meter readings and a payment which we’ve done no end of times, then set up the direct debit, then within a few hours we get an email to say we’ve cancelled our direct debit!!! You can’t get hold of anyone, if you do the online chat they can’t help until the outstanding balance is cleared, it is as much use as a concrete parachute. My husband is currently trying to phone them and it’s cut him off!! How are we not surprised

Incompetent , uninformed, un coordinated customer service staff 5 hours six phone numbers three cut off chat bot and text services. All I needed to know is was my smart meter compatible for Solar FIT and if not please replace so it is they're worse than useless.

I was transferred to EDF against my knowledge when another company went into administration. When I moved out of the home they supplied I agreed an installment plan for the amount due. Just looked at the account online and they have unaccountably more than doubled the total due. Don't touch them with a bargepole.

Spoke to somebody called joanne on the phone, poor customer service, told me she couldn't understand what I was saying, when i asked her to please transfer me to another colleague who would understand my Yorkshire accent she proceeded to ignore me and told me she couldn't understand me still. Very poor service.

I switched to EDF from Bulb in November 2021 as Bulb were in trouble. I never had any problems with Bulb. I was quoted £58 monthly for a 1 bed flat which was reasonable. I paid 2 months at €58 then was told from January 2022 I would be paying £91 monthly. I was not happy with this so switched to Scottish Power. After paying 3 months at £58 (£174 ) I have received a final bill for £309 (including £100 each for electricity and gas early cancellation fee). They have also grossly overestimated my gas reading. I have contacted them to complain and they will not change the final bill. This means I have paid Edf €483 for 2 months supply. DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!!. I am 73 and on a pension and when they take this £309 from my account thisthe next week I will have little money left for the next 2 weeks. Do not go to EDF as they will rob you blind.
