“Scottish power are the most arrogant useless company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. I gave them a one rating because I couldn't go any lower. When a company forces you to take antidepressants they should be ashamed of themselves”

“absolute jokers. tried to register with them 5 years ago for account number and welcome pack but received nothing. over 5 years have called numerous times and was fobbed off with a variety of excuses. so far I am pulling my hair out. now I am told my home is registered as a business and I owe Scottish power £750. tried to pay this off and told I could not as they couldn't find me on their system. am switching to bristish gas but have been told by S.P that I cant. I have mental health issues which have only got worse since attempting to communicate with these imbeciles.”

“I like most customers were switched over to Scottish Power when Extra Energy folded, I had no trouble at all with Extra Energy, so obviously thought this is straightforward switch. This first 4 months they couldn't even get the Direct Debit sorted out. Eventually I find someone at Scottish Power that can sort it out. Now recently I have had a bill from them and they have used the wrong reading, I gave them the correct one in Feb 18th 2019 and July 19th 2019. If you look t the reading I gave them they seem to think my meter is running forwards and backwards, it just makes no sense. I run a small business that uses low energy bulbs, one kettle and a laptop and the bill they have sent me for my small premises it about 5 times higher than I pay for my house. I have no idea what they are doing and seem to be stuck with these clowns for 2 years. The Ombudsman is the next port of call for us to get out of this deal with them unless they can prove to us they are up to the task and getting this sorted out.”

“Con Artist-Power is the right Name, nobody every answers, you speak with someone and it's literally like talking to a brick wall, would avoid and go anywhere else but Scottish power. Been ongoing for months back and forth with them and now passed the bill to a debt collection agency when I was £60 in credit (Baffled) .”

“Awful customer service! Send a bill for a months usage for over £1000 when the previous month we were £300 in credit! They said something was wrong with the smart metre and promised a call back on Friday we my wife took the day off work because she wanted to sort it but they never called! Tried calling them but they aren't answering! Extremely frustrating especially as we have been customers of theirs for 3 years!!!”

“The most awful Company I have ever dealt with. From the initial monthly quoted figure for gas and electricity, not once have I received an actual charge that is not way above the monthly offer price. there is no split between fuels so to establish how much of the charge relates to each fuel you have to contact the company. Despite providing meter readings the monthly charges appear not relate to actual usage and once again to establish an actual cost you have to go thro their online help system which is equally appauling as you consistently end up with someone on line thro the website and a second person in contact by email. Personally I am not willing to pay a £60 early cancellation fee which I view asa bonus payment for dreadful service and overblown costs relative to original quotations. THis is a Company to avoid like the plague.”

“Criminal company who obtain money by deception. If their meter is on your property and is capped so you use no gas, they still bill you, and if you dont pay immediately, they hound you with phone calls and threaten you with bailiff letters.”

“I echo the first 10 1 *reviews. Awful customer service, they lied to retain me with an offer after I had switched to Green Network. I then cancelled my switch and they Scottish power moved me to the Standard Tariff. When I queried this, they found no records of the deal and despite announcing at the start of each call, that “all calls are recorded ... yada yada yada” when I asked them to get the call to confirm what I had said, they were unable to. I then pushed to speak with a senior agent who “promised” a call back and of course , did not keep her word. I will joe leave, and complain to the ombudsman but am not expecting anything really. Best advice - DO NOT TOUCH SCOTTISH POWER”

“Don't even deserve this one star. All round just rubbish. It's all good for the 1st couple payments then pow "you owe us ££££" based on our estimates. Give real live meter readings "no that's not what our estimates say". Don't mess with this company especially if you have nerve or anxiety problems, depression or heart troubles, even if you haven't you will get them dealing with Scottish power.”

“I wouldn't even give them a 1 star. What they charge is ridiculous. Within 16 days I have meant to of used £79 worth of gas and electricity. Never in my life of living in my own property have I ever used that much”

“My tariff expires end of month. Looked on my account early this morning and they gave me the new price. Went on comparison site and obtained a cheaper rate. Did live chat and basically nothing they could do and told me to look on u-switch to see the prices for them on there!! Called customer services and asked why they are not looking to keep existing customers and advised nothing more they could do. Looked again at my new price which had risen by another £10 annually from first thing this morning. Hence I am now switching. Having been a loyal customer with them for many years and always chose the cancer support tariff, it is very sad the treatment you are given and proves loyalty is not a remit nowadays.”

“Worst customer service ever!! All I wanted to do was make an appointment to get a smart meter - they ended up creating 3 different dates pulled out of their a**, none of which I asked! I have wasted time calling their useless Liverpool call center making sure my date is correct to be shrugged off and never corrected. Still to this day unsure if my date will be correct - having to take time off work to be at home! HOW HARD IS IT TO CREATE A BOOKING!!! seriously useless!”

“Scottish power is the poorest Supplier I have ever come across. It is 4 long years since I've suffering with them with a problem caused by them. Customer services continuously passing me from one to another with no end in sight. As a result I am now suffering deep depression and anxiety and is now prescribed medication from my GP. They can't even find an employee in their Liverpool office who gave me his employee number and asked me to ask for him if the problem persist. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Stay away or SWITCH!”

“I recently paid my Electric bill over the telephone with an advisor. A few days later I noticed my account was 00 I actually thought it had been hacked. I then noticed Scottish Power had taken payment 3 times. I telephoned customer service who informed myself they could only refund one payment back to my account which could take up to five working days . The other payment again taken in error by themselves they would have to send a cheque out which would take longer. I am absolutely appalled that this could happen to someone who has been left without a penny in the bank and have a family to feed. No even a sorry or explanation as to why this has happened and why it takes so long to rectify an error by themselves. When paying your bill it comes out quickly so no reason why they can’t reverse the payment back to your account immediately. £640 taken instead of £215 not exactly small money. Discusting shouldn’t be allowed to be treated like that .”
