“One word USELESS!!”

“NPower are profiteering scammers. They raised our standing charge and capacity charges by almost 800% and hid the prices rises in tiny text, so we wouldn't notice ... nor did they give us time to change suppliers before they hit us with phenomenal bills. Ombudsman was powerless to do anything about it too, saying they have no remit to ensure fair prices! Complaints are brushed off. Just avoid.”

“Started off great with fixed rate and then after one missed payments I was taken off fixed rate and promised a second higher fixed rate ...within a couple months later I was told I was not on a fixed rate and they complained i was using more tthan I was paying and increased my payments once again (£270) and then once again to nearly £350 per month yet I was hardly home to use that amount per month, after all im not running a Restaurant......Scottish Power Meter Readings are a scam , they don't investigate properly, not helpful and someone must have been pocketing my cash I'm sure ..so glad to see the back of them !! Stay Clear ..you'll have sleepless nights.”

“i was with this company for over 10 years , the bills just kept creeping up. i had the biggest shock when they said my monthly bills were going up to £400 in may 2018. in the same month i had a bill saying i was in credit by £3000. it didn't make any sense because soon after i had another bill saying i owed them over £1400....i was at my witts end at this point, the stress and anguish was horrible. i phoned them numerous times and was always fobbed off with answers that didn't make sense. i finally left them in November 2020. At one point ,they had the nerve to cancel my direct debit without my consent and they blamed the bank ,saying it wasn't them but to call my bank. i am in the process of going through the energy ombudsman to see if they can look into this . i phoned to ask for an update with the Eomb today , and i was told that they have offered a letter of apology and a good will gesture of £100, to which i kindly declined and the lady on the end of the phone couldn't have agreed more and they are going to investigate it further. i am not a fan of npower and looking at previous reviews on here i believe we all have suffered the same treatment.”

“single parent and disabled being made homeless by Npower who claim I owe £35,000… As a single parent and disabled with a disabled child. I am appalled that Npower suddenly hit me with a £35,000 bill and refused to talk to me about it. I put in several complaints, all ignored. I contacted ombudsmen and they told ombudsmen to not get involved. and worst of all they wont talk to me and are now threatening to steal and sell my house to get the money back! there is obviously a problem, yet they wont look into it. They have wrong information and wont put it right. and as a single person in a 3 bed house, I cannot physically run up £35,000 electric bill! I am at my wits end, they know I am disabled and all they did was send the bill in larger text which doesnt help or explain anything. This is discrimination against he disabled and against human rights. And to top it off they have blocked all my attempts to communicate with the CEO or try to approach anyone higher up in the company. Their entire attitude is "You owe us, and we are taking the money one way or the other" there is no care, understanding attempt to help? There is no acknowledgment they could be wrong and for a disabled person it just adds to the pain and stress I am already going through and makes things worse.”

“I've been with n power for the last 3 years. I set up a direct debit and was always in credit. Only after viewing my statement from my bank i realised no payments had been taken by n power! When i rang to enquire about this, they said my dd had been cancelled!, and not by me! Please be careful everyone as this could have led to debt out of control! I'm so disappointed and looking elsewhere as I've had no apology!”

“I was advised to increase my direct debit to £111 from £100, but if I want to keep it the same, I could. I chose to keep it at £100, which they confirmed on the APP. Few days later, I had a message thanking me that I've agreed to change my direct debit to £111 and they have moved my pay date to 15th, even though my preferred date was 1st!! Can't get through on the phones, or the chat. I felt I had to cancel my direct debit, and I'll make a payment on the 1st, they will soon contact me when they realise their direct debit has failed. Disgraceful service--Kathy 30/1/21”

“I stayed in a house for 2 months just renting room when I came to this country as Studnet, I don’t know how they got my details and sent me letter for 1 year bill to my other house. When I don’t even registered for anything. Absolutely a scam”

“Switched to N-Power Select as they were best priced. However, priced low for a reason. You will never be contacted, you will never speak to customer services or a manager, you cannot get through on the phones and will also never be contacted once you've completed the 'website call me back service' . I'm astounded a company can be so poorly ran. Waiting for my contract to finish!”

“These people are fraudsters trying to charge me for electricity before I even move in the house and before the property was up for rental. They even opened an account in my name 3/4 months before I moved in; like I stated before the property was up for rental. They now are refusing to talk to me as the bill is in dispute and they are also charging me for debt collectors who haven't been to the house. Yes even when there is an official complaint on going they still send the debt collects out. The solicitor I spoke to stated do not pay the bill until this is resolved as doing so means that you agree to the agreement and as such at the moment as there is a dispute in progress there are no agreements and as such NPower can not do anything. I have even told them to take me to court about 8 times - they refuse- wonder why???”

“Complete rip off! After being a customer with Npower for many years they decided to start charging me a ridiculous amount a month, triple to what I was paying previous even though I work 6 days per week and never had my heating on due to being in a flat it wasn’t needed. After ringing numerous times to discuss this, customer service couldn’t care less, took my complaint further and they still didn’t take it seriously. So I left and found about company who now charge me a much more reasonable monthly amount. Avoid!”

“Ive been with NPOWER for six years, and I can say they took a lot of money from us. They charged me 125pounds a month which we did not used much of our heater and electricity because we are working 4 days to 5 days a week from 8am to 8pm. When I moved in other house i switch to AVRO which is more reliable and cheap. My advise is dont get npower they will rip you off. Read the reviews is very bad. Sad that I only know when i search them in google about their reviews. Shame company”

“Probably one of the best rip off merchants out there! Horrendous customer service and nothing thought it loyalty. I have been with them for 13 years and ended up paying £220 per month instead of £67 which I am currently paying with my new provider! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.”
