“Avoid Npower like the plague. This is the most incompetent company I have ever had to deal with. I was bombarded with constant and astoundingly inaccurate bills together with the worst customer service experiences you can imagine. I have now changed to a new energy supplier which was easy.”

“Never touch this company, don't know how to bill. Don't know how to talk to customers, rude, we move house in 2013 there moving team never shut our account down, we were paying for two properties, but never showed up on our bill, the monthly direct debit just kept going up for three years. When I did find out what was going on, there refunded quite a bit of money back. Then there decided there gave us too much and ask for it back. Now we owe then alot of money. Tuck them to the ombudsman, what a waste of time there are.”

“I joined npower in 2014 it's now February 2016 and they still have not sorted my bill out I'm on the phone every week. Good news is I got offered £5 for all my work, The complaint is now at the top level and over the last 4 weeks Iv been called every week telling me that the complaint is sorted and offering me up £50 to drop the complaint I refused. I said when I can see the complaint is sorted I will sook at dropping it and the asking for compensation. Just been online and still not sorted. ABSOLUTE JOKE THIS COMPANY and I will take this to court.”

“Appalling customer service - rude, ignorant, argumentative. Member of staff shouted at me and told me "not to put words into her mouth". Staff must either be very poorly trained or this individual was very bad at her job. Result of this is I will be taking my custom elsewhere.”

“This company should not be allowed to continue trading. Abysmal. Three missed appointments to change meter from white meter to standard meter (pensioners on pension credit so we missed out on several months savings that we eventually achieved by changing to standard meter). No calls to say they wouldn't be coming. Continually tried to increase our direct debit despite us using 30% less electricity than was estimated we'd use when monthly payment was set. Online bills charged a much higher kWh unit charge to what we had fixed for 12 months. Took months to rectify all the problems. Customer services non existent. PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SANITY, DO NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY.”

“Shouldn't be allowed to trade. In August 2014 we were told that we had to have the gas meter changed, but when they put it in they've Came to change it they didn't record reading of the meter they took out or the one they put in. When we tried to get some money back as we had a lot of credit as we pay by did. We were told the meter readings were wrong and it was under investigation. We were made to feel like criminals. My husband passed away very suddenly in Jan 2015 and I then had to deal with their bereavement team. WHAT A JOKE. I was made to change acct numbers as the acct was in my late husbands name. Eventually I had to get my MP involved. They soon sorted it out then and refunded 6 months gas. Disgraceful. Now with OVO.”

“My name is samuel kontor and my npower account was153514096. Npower is the worst energy company that i have come accross and as i type i am almost suicidal. I was with npower for two years and never defaulted on my bills. I moved house and informed npower and paid my final bill of £182. Since then npower has been chasing me with bills saying that i still live at the address. One day the apologise and then the next week a new bill comes and they call and harass me for money that i dont owe. Thier customer service is the worst i have ever dealt with, they hung up on me several times and would not hear my complaint. These people are the worst and no one should ever take an account with them.”

“I'm currently 8 month pregnant in a flat with storage heaters powered by electric, I've phone phone the council about it and they said its down to the supplier, npower, when npower come out the said its down to national grid so 2 weeks on and I still have no hot water or heating, I asked for economy 7 meters put in and they sent come one out to remove my meter that powers my storage heaters, phoned npower 3 times in 1 day and haven't got anywhere with them, so not only am I paying electricity on my token meter they are sending me a bill every month of £190 for my storage heaters baring in mind they haven't been working for 2 weeks.. They are the worst company I've ever encountered, what an absolute joke, don't appreciate at 8 month pregnant running up the street to get a wash in the middle of winter! If this is how they treat customers they shouldn't be in business.. Disgraceful!”

“Would not ever recommend NPower to anyone! When I first set up the account it took 5 months for them to get the direct debit sorted. I kept getting a letter saying I owe them money but I had called to set up a direct debit over 5 times but for whatever reason they would say it was set up but then a month later no money was taken from my account. When I closed my account I was in credit of £60.00. That was 4 months ago and I'm still waiting for this refund. I keep calling to chase, they tell me its sorted but then no money shows in my account! I will keep chasing my refund but I am so frustrated with them. Avoid Npower!!!”

“Awful company to deal with, they constantly get things wrong and always give misinformation from one minute to the next. gave this company my direct debit details 3 times and every time they insisted that I was wrong. I have never in all my life had to deal with a more stressful and stupid company. Ignore at all costs and go somewhere else as they are not worth your sanity”

“Business Credit control department was refusing to take payment and when they decided to take a payment she said she will take nothing less than £1300. When questioned about why we had to wait 1year for correct bill she said you should put money aside. So they being nice to give 3 months to pay the out standing balance. Explained to her I paid two bills previous and was told it was correct. She didn't care one bit about our situation even knowing that it was there fault that there is a large amount to pay back”

“I wish I could give a minus figure. My daughters gas went off on Sunday, she couldn't get customer service, so had to wait until Monday. She has been told she doesn't have an account, they asked for her post code. When an engineer finally came he stated he couldn't do medium flow meters so left. My daughter has waited in everyday in a cold house either phoning or waiting for an engineer who will be coming in the next 4 hours. It is now Thursday and after yet another phone call they can't find a record of the job. Surely a woman who has a ten year old daughter, who has been without heating or hot water for 5 days in November, should be a priority. I was glad when I finally changed my supplier because npower couldn't generate my final gas/electric bill for 12 months. Sadly they haven't improved. They should be ashamed of themselves for such a bad service for their customers”
