EDF con you of your money. I already set up monthly payments for gas and electric with them of over £150. They took a separate amount of £325 out of my account with no warning. I got it back through my bank. But after speaking with a manager at EDF, they admitted a mistake on their part. Was supposed to contact me to sort it all out. Then they take the £325 out of my account again. Leaving me short on other bills to pay. Promises of call backs that never happen. I've been with EDF nearly 10 years and never had this before. Disgusting company. Don't even deserve 1 star.

Edf forced me to accept “smart meter “. I received several emails last week proclaiming that my account details were changed. I was not given any reason. I had to change password and again enter my payment details. I managed to top up my electricity prepayment meter but could not top up gas prepayment. Each time I tried to top up gas, I was informed “ Transaction unsuccessful “ or “Failed”. Annoying because I could top up electricity with same details. Have subsequently found out that my bank account has been debited 5 times, for all of my 5 attempts to unsuccessfully top up the gas. My “smart meter” indicates no top ups. I contacted edf on Monday but have received no response. I wonder how edf would react if I owed them money rather than vice versa. I am very concerned that my gas supply will be cut off. I’ll definitely be changing my supplier. Edf are dreadful.

No communication from them at all notwithstanding website says they will be in touch in a day. We are completing on a sale and are completely in the dark.

I have been an EDF customer for over 20years and everything has been ok until recentlyi noticed a lump sum of over £350 was taken from my account although i had a monthly payment plan of £59 with them, i contacted the bank and was refunded my money only to find that EDf did the same thing again this time they told the bank i owed that money to them so the bank did not pay me back and although they took the money from my bank account the amount was not reduced on my bill they were still charging me for the money they taken i had to cancel the direct debit arrangement because they refused to listen. I am so angry with them, anyone know what can be done in this case, why do i need to pay towards something that was already taken, I believe EDF have a thief among their staff.

They changed my monthly DD in September to £480, I said I wanted to pay £520 as felt it would be too low, I can’t log in to give reading have had to do it over the phone and now they say I am in debit? Shocking customer service and can’t wait to leave. Was only with them by default as they took over my previous supplier and was forced to stay as they were taking under payments despite me giving meter readings which put me over £2k in debit originally that I needed to pay off monthly (was having to pay over £820 before this). Just wished I would have left after the Summer

Ive actually left edf energy last month due to multiple energy bills at all parts of the month and non availability when they are contacted. Every month is a problem. Now that Ive closed my account i received 2 final accounts .After i paid the first final closing account, a week later I received another for another amount. This was no surprise actually as this was how my account was managed since with edf. Ive gone back to EON.

I've been with EDF for years & always paid quarterly due my financial situation, can't pay any other way, last year to remain on quarterly, I was forced to pay by DD , no problem, all set up bills came though via post & DD taken 10 days later. March 2024 I recieved so many summary letters no actual bill also these summary letters advised I had no DD set up, so called EDF 24th March so unhelpful advised no DD set up & my bills via email (paperless) that's a laugh, I must have since Dec 2023 ,recieved 30 letters , so was advised its automatically changes to email, no letter about something so important, advised post is my priority not email so changed back, also advised no quarterly bills either now, only monthly or get this, quarterly on there set up amout not usage , so you over pay throughout the year, EDF having your money, it's so wrong, especially with cost of living. I was so angry no one advised me of anything, so was advised my bills for quarter & paid on the app, raising a complaint on the 24th, I've heard nothing from EDF complaints do not care about there customers, I've called numerous time & its been emailed to complaints asking to call, also I raised a complaint on the 14th April via there Web, recieved acknowledgement of complaint still nothing, I can't pay monthly or quarterly on a set amount, bills now coming ,even advised legal action on £66 bill , I need to talk to someone that can help me .They really don't care about there customers, there lastest advert- busy doing nothing so true, you only see how good a company is when you need there help or to try & rectify issues.

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.
