“The prices are ridiculous me and my partner are both disabled and have really struggled recently and are on benefits and utilita charged us £2 maybe more just to top up our electric they then ask why we are only putting in a couple of pound a time well its so we dont get charged to top up and now me and my partner have to sit without gas for over a week we've got £2 left in the bank for electric too last over a week and I'm not the only one that is struggling with utilita I wouldn't recommend it to anyone every time we top up over £15 they take money and don't give us our emergency they'd rather leave disabled people sitting in the cold they're shocking I've never dealt with a company like them before it's a total disgrace”

“Customer service is shocking. Meter balance and app balance did not match up. After being on hold for a VERY LONG TIME, I got through to a woman that could barely speak English. Later went on to the so-called "Live chat" and nobody answered my question. Issue is still not resolved! I'll be switching provider...”

“Emergency line are very stressful and bad skills. They had no clue about Data protection Law Act2000. I explained to them about I’m living with organisation house and can’t put my name on the system, because that’s not private house. One of them answered me with no respect at all, his name Michilan has European accent”

“Shameless liars, they are!! Not surprised by the horrible reviews. I give them zero star. On Saturday and Sunday, their App said it was down for maintenance. When I was able to login in finally yesterday afternoon, my gas usage had shot up to £11 plus for Saturday an £10 for Sunday!!! Mind you I don't have a gas cooker and I wasn't home the entire time. I was checking the app while at work. Upon return I confirmed I had not left anything running. Their system blocked my calls with various excuses one of which was that I wasn't in their records. As I a type my email has not responded to. Finally today, I got through to a live chat advisor who was busy gaslighting me that I might have used and did I have the heating on and such nonsense. He stalled for time so that I could give up ... claiming he was waiting for someone more knowledgeable to tell them how my usage shot up by 600% on Saturday and on Sunday. In the end he run out of excuses and they said I contact my landlord to see if he used it. Today it is normal usage and I am in. So basically they are saying my landlord let himself in while I was away and spent the gas on heating and hot water and welding and God knows what else ... Liars, liars liars. Very poor liars if you manage to get through to them that is. Avoid!!! It's a scam.”

“WORST COMPANY I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Over two years back and forth with the worst customer service I have ever experienced!!!! Took them to the ombudsman won my case and still have not had all my money back!!!! Was charged insane bills some double and triple what my bills now with a smart reading!!! I had someone from their company put in a one month gas reading of over a £1000. I work full time and I am never in the house! Even now with increased prices my gas is less than £50 a month. I still have not received this back!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”

“Rip off rubbish company, spending £80 per week sometimes more just for electricity. Been told numerous times I have a faulty meter so had an engineer sent out to replace it... Was it replaced no!! Left over a month without hot water and heating (over Xmas when temperatures dropped) Compensated £30 for 3 no show appointments and guess what it was gone within 2 days!! Topped up £20 into positive credit yesterday, was out all day and come back to my emergency credit needing to be accepted. WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYONE TO JOIN THIS ROBBING COMPANY THEY HAVE NO SYMPATHY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT”

“The pricing is astronomical. I have to plough money into my preoayment meter hand over fist. They have refused to address this when I made a complaint about their shocking prices. They make it dufficult to speak to a person and when you do Ive had the phone put down on me and the staff often dont appear to be competent. The meter and freedom unit are hard to understand and use. I am determined ti switch from them or I will end up bankrupt”

“My smart meters ain't so smart. Infact they do not even work. I have had 6 engineer visits so far and still no working meters. They have placed both on engineer mode which means I will get a bill even though I have topped my cards up. Now they have issed a bill based on estimates because they cannot even get a meter reading from their own meters. Called today and they cannot send an engineer out AGAIN because my account is now with the revenue protection team? I can't even pay them! I have logged a complaint and done a complete GDRP request which I have received which details all the visits, notes, complaints and still nothing. I dont have 58 minutes everyday to sit on hold to get no further forward. My anxiety and depression is through the roof with the uncertainty. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!”
