This company has to be a social psychology experiment in how much customers will tolerate in terms of bad service. The account app doesn't work since they upgraded, and they have lost the account passwords as they prompt you to make a new one. Only the link to new password doesn't work either. Then the debt letters start coming, and you phone to be put on hold forever. I am moving all our energy accounts to Octopus. They are excellent by comparison and life is too short for EDF NONSENSE.

We moved into our new property and were informed by EDF they weren't providing our electricity, so we went to E.ON who told us they were, so for over a year we paid E.ON to then receive a letter from EDF saying nope we owed them money. To be frank the hassle, the communication, the overall service to get to this resolved was appalling. it has been sorted but I would advice anyone using this company to move away asap. Worst company I have ever dealt with. it took them 3 months to resolve and there goodwill gesture was appalling.

I will never deal with EDF again. I have been trying to resolve a number of issues with them over the past 3 months and have been messed around and ignored repeatedly. Yesterday I spent nearly 2 hours on hold, after being promised a response within 2 minutes, and when it got to 5pm the line just cut off. Appalling experience.

Bills seem very incorrect and they can’t justify or get smart meters to read and taken thousands out of account when supposed to take true amount not guesstimated amounts. Homeowner died and have been tried so badly. They keep closing complaint so been to ombudsman 3 times and upheld even paying closing bills have been so draining. Just got told by EDF staff ‘don’t start with me’ . The worst company I have dealt with ever. Horrific customer services and extortionate costs.

Awful rates we have been signed into a new contract with them from July 23 through a broker called Bionic who have mislead us into signing a DIFY contract which gave them the right to auto renew us at an extortionate rate. EDF won't help, Bionic aren't responding to my emails. Total scam. This has only come to light after a bill in excess of £7000. And to get out of the contract EDF want over £7000. We are being crippled. Do something about this EDF you shouldn't be allowed to do this to people. You need to look into how Bionic are signing people in and question this.

A company who shouldn't be in business.Overcharging,totasl lack of communuication,altogether useless.It is no wonder that they have a 96% failure rate on this platform. The only communication I have received in volume is their request for me to settle my bill.I have purposely waited until I received a dozen letters and two emails from them before picking up the phone today.Completely one-sided.If their communication with me was as regular as the bills I receive,then this matter would have been reasolved a long time ago. I have now of course moved from this pathetic non-performing company to OVO who are head and shoulders better than EDF.I have renamed it DEF (as in deaf) as no one there has ever listened to my complaints. Stay well clear,like the rest of the 96% reviewers on this site. Paul Johnson.

My smart meter isn’t working properly and I have a string of emails trying to get some help from them to no avail. They want everybody to use a direct debit to pay so they can charge whatever they want and just claim it by direct debit. Absolute rogues and daylight robbers I would NOT recommend anybody use this shocking organisation.

EDF was good when it was three months bill for my father. Next minute we need you to send or call in your meter reading. Had two bills in two days. Paid one in full then they wanted the same plus £1.75p. The Amount was £1.75p pay within 14 days or we will take legal action. How pathetic is this.

EDF took over my business account in 2022 and since fitting a smart meter my bills have gone from£79.00 a month to £550 a month. Each month bill is different. I am a small office with three staff. Never used no more than 350 units to 500 in winter months .. Not it’s saying I use 100”””””” On installation the so called engineer said meter isn’t working, needs to come back as it’s faulty.. I have explained this till I am blue in the face .. Due to the language barrier. The staff are not in uk, they are rude and argue. They hang up on you. I am just disgusted that this company is allowed to treat people on this way. What happened to getting an issue resolved? Of a meter is broken you replace ?? Why are you taking 10000s of us small business You need to be held accountable and taken to court! Don’t use this company is your a business owner . It was the biggest mistake I ever made…

Went into a 2 year business contract with EDF Aug 2022, to get this contract I had to have a smart meter installed which we did in November 2022. EDF have taken DD from our account each month and when we finally after many months got our first bill it was back to deemed rates from the date our smart meter was installed. I called and they stated they would change this back as they know this was a issue as their system removed the contracted rates when the new smart meter details were added. This seems fine until we received a £4k bill for the whole period from Aug 2022 to March 2024 that we had been with them and this was the balance due but we had already paid them nearly £3,000 iun DDs over this period so our bill was actually £7,000 + which was impossible. When I looked in detail at the bill it was a huge over estimate. I called Customer services which is all in South Africa now and you can't speak to anyone in England. I gave them our real meter reading and they rebilled. When that bill came in a few days later they had out us back to the deemed rates and not the contracted price I had signed for from Nov 22. I called them again and was informed to call sales and they would change this. Since this time and 9 + calls to Customer services our bill is still not right and I have emailed and got Zero response from EDF, 11 days ago I emailed them and still nothing back. Then they have the audacity to write to me about them upgrading their systems and then state “so you can continue to get outrageously good customer experience you deserve” so I deserve zero customer service do I ? as this is what I have received so far. DO NOT go with EDF, they don't listen and they don't do anything about the issues you have and they just don't get back to you. I even asked on my 8th call to Customer services which is as much use as a chocolate fireguard if they had received my email which clearly had my account number in the subject title - they couldn't see anything. So the "shiny new systems" they are getting just send your issues and complaints into a black hole never to be seen again. Disgusting service from a company that I thought would be much better, cant wait to move away.

EDF use a 3rd company called Bionic who will fraudulently sign you into a contract with EDF without you knowledge or agreement. Then customer service ignore your complaints. Terrible service. David.

I am totally dissatisfied and disappointed with this company of yours . Your customer service communication is extremely poor. I have been having issues with you for over 8months now . You are most expensive energy company that I know . I have done my research on this . You just increase your tariff and standard charge as you want. No one is regulating your decision I regret I did not get this information early and unfortunately was stock with you for 5years. Thanks that I am free from you now that I have left you . The upcoming customer pls shine your eye . They will lured you with there sweet message. They are cunning and not opened

11/04/2024 Thursday book a appointment for engineer come to fix the issues,Tuesday engineer come and can’t fix the issues and go away,why the engineer don’t direct call to the office to tell another engineer come out to fix the issues same day. So I have to call back to the office book another appointment , and the appointment management system is so bad, you have to wait for few days to get another appointment.

When I switched to EDF, their Smart meter app would not work with my smart meter twice said they’d replace the metre, twice they pulled out for done made up reason ir other. Now stick with them until my fixed price contract expires. I can’t see how much gas I’m using on the app, and I don’t trust their billing.

They are training the staff to drop calls where they may lose money. They gave a fake meter reading to my old supplier and refuse to rectify it, cost me over £10,000, for 23 days electric. I've spent nearly 6 hours today trying to speak to them.

EDF are atrocious Company who supply only the minimal amount of Customer service ... on a good day!! As a single male with limited energy needs, they have been plucking figures out of thin air for months and since December 2023 have deducted over£1400 from my bank account over and above the energy price cap. They ignore e-mails and in the past said they had no record of me as a Customer at all! They certainly have a record of all of my personal bank details to extort excessive payments from myself every month. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I think I had to give one star to enable to write a review .. they do not deserve one at all
