By far the worst energy supplier. Moved in last month and had to pay a previous tenants debt of £60 in order to get £20 worth of electricity for the month. Was told I won't get a refund. Call times are absolutely ridiculous you would be waiting about 2 hours for someone to answer and just pass you on to someone else

I won some concert tickets last march and never received them. I contacted Utilita and was told to pick a concert of my choice and the tickets would be sent for November I never received them. I would strongly advise anyone with Utilita not to enter the competitions you don't receive the prize you win.

Worst company ever. Cost a fortune and are a nightmare to get through to. Money goes missing from every top up

Hands down the worst customer service experience I've had for years. We are currently moving home and arranging for Utilita to hand over energy supply to our new house. After contacting our current energy suppliers (hold time c. 30 seconds), was kept on hold for over an hour with Utilita, whose automated voice claimed (falsely) that the issue could be solved online (it can't) before being told in person that Utilita would not address our issue prior to moving in and would not give a callback, as "We don't do that." Another hour on hold to look forward to!

Left with no gas after paying my pay as you go 50 but a technical error on utilitas part has left me freezing I'm disabled and meant to be a priority but from 5 to 8 when they finally cut me off I spoke to 10 people who continued to put me on hold and now I've eaten nothing all day and no hot water heating or food despite paying customer service is horrible and customers are treated like rubbish by all staff (I spoke to 10 in 3 hours ) all were rude and done nothing to help utilita don't care about customers at all I wasn't even asking for free gas I'd paid and still treated like rubbish

Why is it impossible to reach utilia, I have tried 4 different numbers and everyone is closed due to Christmas and boxing day... I need to transfer credit from electricity to gas, as I'm really running low... I have tried on the app, and all I get is error!!! So overall, no number in use atm... Cannot transfer, using app... Really bad service!!! Really bad...

Just moved into a property they supply energy to and tried to give them moving in meter readings and to let them know we are changing suppliers. Wouldn't let me do it on-line and on the phone for 3 hours trying to get hold of them. What a joke. Moving is stressful enough.

Absolutely awful you spend 3 to 4 hours to get connected to South Africa who haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about and now the meter is going through £7.00 electricity and the house is totally empty no appliances at all and the gas is the same heating turned off and still going through £6 a day how does that work.

Utilita said they know they are breaking the law with me a vunerable customer, but they will continue to break the law anyway! They just don't care that they could kill me with their law breaking. Evil evil company.

What’s the point in a smart meter when it never ever ever actually works? They will find me dead and frozen by the time my credit hits the meter. Oh why don’t you just type in the 1000 digit code printed without spaces for your convenience I hear you cry? Because you fitted the worlds smallest keypad and it’s not easy to use with frozen shaking hands. Modern life is rubbish!

It is now 15th December and I have had no payments of energy support for November & December after almost a dozen calls I have had nothing but excuses this has made me very angry 😠 and My wife and I are getting fed up. I intend to take this to ombudsman as we believe we are being conned out of our payment's and Furthermore I will be leaving this company in the new year and going to someone more reliable.

Absolutely appalling I moved into my new property 10th November , I’ve rang several times every time I topped my gas up taking 25% recovery charges for the previous tenants debt and in just over 4 weeks £280 gas but my daily usage was £6 now it’s £16 a day , no meter reading was asked when I moved into the property I’ve got several one no reply no phone calls nothing when sent proof when I first had the account it wouldn’t let me top up nothing was saying -£288 how can someone use 2320.0kwh in 4 weeks is behond me when I was with British Gas I used £140 in 10 weeks this is astonishing and outstanding

No reply from company after days and hours on phone. No response from emails or chat. No response from online forms. Not working weekends. Absolute garbage company. If you want advice use another provider. Trying to sort out how to get power on to prepaid cards as previous tenant changed meter from credit to this awful system. Only got 4 days to move in date. Prospect of no energy in this weather is frightening.

Don't ever use Utilita, I'm moving to a different company as soon as possible. I've spent hours upon hours trying to get through on the chat. The phone line cuts off part way through dialogue or after confirming my details. I am unable to top up my gas meter through my phone, so I have to manually input the code. In this cold weather it's so much more difficult, especially as I live in a top floor flat. As well as this I have a circulation condition and a neurological condition, so getting down to input the code is very difficult. £15 would last a whole month, that now only lasts 2-3 days despite being strict with heating and having it on for a maximum of 2 hours per day. They've "promised" to send an engineer out and contact me via phone or text on the same day to let me know when this will happen, and have they? Nope, it's been over a week and I've heard nothing. As soon as I get a response from another energy supplier, I'm moving.
