“I hate them to the point I want to destroy this company. I have been trying to contact anyone, by phone, online chat and email. No response received from anyone...We have no electricity for a week now. Moreover, they deliberately putting customers on hold on 0345 (chargeable numbers). Once I was charged £ 18 for 48 minutes while on hold.”

“As a landlord I deal with many energy companies, but Scottish Power stands out as being by far the worst and virtually impossible to deal with. I have spent many hours on the phone and have sent numerous emails to explain that I have paid their invoices, in full, for a property that I have now sold, but they still send me invoices, with added “collection charges” and threats of further action. After spending several hours waiting on the phone I eventually spoke with an operator this morning, who told me that credit balances were not repayable, he could not help and that I must speak to “customer services”. The behaviour of this company is either shockingly incompetent or bordering on criminal. Avoid them at all cost.”

“Rubbish customer service. Their phone lines are always busy and the agents do not have any clue what they are talking about. I am considering switching to a different provider.”

“My sister died in March 2022 and as executor of her estate I had to notify Scottish Power of her death and to change the bills in to her teenage son's account. Despite this conversation Scottish Power started sending letters to my grieving nephew threatening to cut off his supply unless the bills in my deceased sister's name were paid. After several attempts I finally got through to Scottish Power again to go through the switch over to the new name for the second time and arrange a payment plan for outstanding arrears due to my sister spending the last months of her life in a hospice, but yet again the threatening letters to cut off the supply continued. Tired of their behaviour I called Scottish Power once more and I was assured that everything was now in order, yet days later Scottish Power phoned and bullied my nephew into paying £600 without an explanation, which due to his young age and inexperience he paid despite barely having enough money to last him and his brother the rest of the month. I phoned them once more to highlight this unforgivable error and Scottish Power returned the funds assuring me the matter was now resolved. So you can imagine my anger and utter disgust when I discovered three months later that Scottish power had not been debiting my nephew's bank account, but instead had elected to take the funds from my grieving elderly mother's bank account instead, without advising her. I called Scottish once more totally gobsmacked at their incompetence. After waiting for 2 hours online they eventually picked up and reimbursed the difference without an apology and finally set up the correct payment details in my nephew's name albeit we soon realised that they had done so without adding the surplus payment plan we organised for the outstanding amount owed. To top it all off, Scottish power then sent a letter addressed to my deceased sister saying. "We are sorry to see you are leaving us". Suffice to say that from the ratings on this website it is plainly obvious that you should never use Scottish Power.They have no customer support service and obviously no heart. I have never experienced anything like it in all my life. Avoid them at all cost.”

“I have beed a Scottish Power customer since 2018. I requested a smart meter as soon as I became a customer. I have mede multiple subsequent requests. I have had zero response. There appears to be no way to communicate effectively with Scottish Power. Why can't Scottish Power provide me with a smart meter? Why can't Scorttish Power provide me with a response. A/C ...471”

“On hold for 4 hours. Talked to the guy on the phone, he cut us off again. This is every time we spoke to them over the last few months over the same issue. Still not resolved. It's a horrible experience, stress like you wouldn't believe and we're completely powerless”

“PATHETIC is all I can say!!left scottish power 2 months ago,then got an email from them saying they owed me £133 refund over 2 weeks ago,still not got refund!calling forget it as they always end the call,as they say they are very busy!which is a nonsense!as they can't be busy all the time. Tried live chat which is useless as it only gives generic answers,and not the answers I want! So think I've lost my refund as impossible to get through to them. Oh well, it's what it is. If it were the other way round and I owed them money,I would never here the end of it!!! I'll say it again PATHETIC........”

“Absolutely appalling customer service! For over two weeks I been trying to just talk to a real person. Live chat is unanswered for 30 mins then disconnected. Phone lines are always "we are busy call back later" Emails are automated reply's with useless content. Don't go near this rubbish company.”

“Very bad customer service and there system is not proper. I paid my bill but still my account is showing no payment. I submitted payment proof and was told will get a call back but they never got one and will never answer the calls keep saying very busy. They even say live chat which is just a BOT chat. My emails will take ages to get response. I would never recommend this supplier to anyone.”

“Dreadful .. awful!!! Needed a replacement electric key and could not get through to anyone. Message saying lines were too busy and call back later. Then tried the online chat... was sent automated messages and then ignored. I have been without electricity for nearly a week. Also couldn't activate the online account. I even tried ringing at 09.00 and still got the message that lines are too busy .I have now moved to EDF who actually awnser the phone when you call them. Scottish power are AWFUL.”

“If there was -0 I would gladly give it. This company should not be operating at all. They advertised smart meter to me like it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I got an appointment and someone came to fix, when he did a demo it was working perfectly well. Few days down the line the HD and meter started freezing and when I called them I was told to give it a few weeks which will sort the problem and now its been months of the "smart" meter playing up. I have to top up with UTR no stood outside on the main meter when it's freezing cold and sometimes it wount take the code I could try 10 times in vain putting those small numbers in. Iam totally disgusted as I have tried to get in touch but they don't ever answer the phone anymore. I have tried the last few days holding 2 hrs at a time and then phone is disconnected. I pity any vulnerable person who is with Sp. Also I have to beg for my 66/67 pounds every month as they say they have applied the credit while they know so well that my "SMART" meter does not communicate with them, or even my HD / phone app.”

“I'd have given no stars if that were an option. I have been trying for two days now for a friend to notify of moving into an address where the meter has a debit from the previous occupier. 6 hours on the phone yesterday, 4 hours so far today. Automated messages end suddenly, terminal waiting on hold with no indication of how long the queue is, no channels work - online chat is a BOT and is useless, web pages for online move don't work and no-one replying to facebook messages either. It's a disgrace that a utility can treat captive customers with such contempt during the winter months.”
