Utility Warehouse is a scam, they take over legitimate companies like origin broadband, and with no warning you will be sent a message from them that your contract from the previous company has been transferred without your consent to them. They will offer you a small monthly amount to draw you into their platform, then increase your monthly payments without notice, I went from £22 a month to £95 a month and my broadband service was cut off even after I had paid the bills they claimed I owed, in the end I switched my service to hyper optic because of the evil practices of Utility Warehouse, they are a scam company, a ruthless and wicked company, stay away from them like the plague, I will be reporting them to Ofcom soon.

I was until recently with TalkTalk as my Internet provider and even signed a new 18month contract with them and shortly after renewing this contract I was informed that I was transferred to utilities warehouse whom I had never heard of and so I personally felt I had been deceived because if talktalk had warned me when renewing my contract that I was being tranferred I would have gone elsware, after only three weeks with utilities warehouse I've had billing problems and even lost my Internet for over 36hours which is unacceptable and trying to get through is a nightmare waited over phone for over 40mins the so called customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I have notified them of my 30day cancellation and look forward to a better provder. Why talktalk was allowed to do this is unacceptable and iffcom should never allow thus king of behaviour.

Appalling service. Unable to speak to anyone in U.K, all calls appear to connect to young people in Africa. I have been trying to tell U.W my meter is faulty for months,they ignore this and just set direct debit to their own estimate, writing "Out of Range" A meter reader called and they have dismissed his reading also has out of range. I do have a smart meter by the way! Avoid at all costs.

Initial selling points differ when you change to another energy supplier.You get charged for anything you added initially for an extra month when the account has been cancelled.Not very nice.

My experience with UW Broadband has been extremely poor. I initially contacted them to purchase a broadband plan. I clearly informed the salesperson that I already had a router, did not require another one, and that I needed an Openreach engineer to carry out the installation at my home. One week later, having received no appointment, I contacted them again. I was told that no engineer had been booked and that I would need to wait two weeks until my service went live before arranging an appointment. In addition, I received an additional router, leaving me with two. After waiting two weeks, I contacted them again and a fault was opened on 18 March. For the following month, I was in constant contact with UW, as no engineer was sent to resolve the issue for weeks. They never gave me proper explanation on what was happening. When speaking directly to Openreach engineers in the area, I was informed that the information provided by UW was incorrect and that a different team was required. This happened multiple times. Information I provided to UW was not passed on, resulting in repeated delays and a clear lack of coordination between the two companies. I finally received internet access on 15 April—28 days after the fault was raised. The issues continued with my first bill. I was charged from 18 March, despite only having service from 15 April. I was also compensated for only 6 days of delay instead of the actual 28 days. This compensation does cover the period during which I had no service. Additionally, I was charged for a router that I explicitly stated I did not need. Since then, I have made numerous calls in an attempt to resolve these issues. Each time, I am passed between different teams, often spending long periods on the phone (in one instance, 1 hour and 45 minutes) without any resolution. I am repeatedly told that a case has been raised and that I will receive a response within 24–72 hours; however, this never happens. When I call back, I am often told that no case exists and a new one must be created, restarting the process. Attempts to contact UW by email are equally ineffective, with either no response or delayed replies that do not address the issue. I have also tried to raise formal complaints and escalate the matter, but have not been able to reach anyone with the authority to resolve it. In summary, UW has failed to provide the agreed service, has mismanaged the installation process, and has charged me incorrectly. I am being billed for a service I was unable to use, and for equipment I did not request.

Awful Service. Fault with broadband and phone line. Phone to get an update and not even actioned 4 days after reporting the problem. I was promised an update and nothing. When explaining impact of no broadband (husband and I both work from home) and impact on my son who is Neurodiverse and the call taker asked about my son's ILLNESSES!! He isn't ill, never have i felt so let down on behalf of my son that this is still what people think. They seriously need to look at their inclusion and equality training! I am still waiting for my call back from the manager that was supposed to be over 5 hours ago!! Awful service and product

Absolutely awful. The worst company… avoid like the plague. They have messed me about for 18 months by wrongly supplying faulty full fibre broadband and then said it’s in their small print that they don’t have to supply a working Wi-Fi… and yet they have been happy to take my money for 18 months. I have now been forced to take legal action against them… all they do is close complaints and say that they are fixed when they know they’re not. Disgusting… if I could give no stars I would.

It's taken me 6 months & A LOT of money to leave utility warehouse. Absolute nightmare, wouldn't recommend unless you intend to stay with them forever 😕 If you're getting an energy discount check your bill on pg2 & also check your internet speed as you pay top price for the lowest mbps. Their BACS acc number doesnt exist either. Staff & reps are lovely but the company itself is poor.

Avoid this company! They make it extremely difficult to cancel. I cancelled in January and they are still charging me in April.

After years of loyalty, my supplier charged me £116 to remove my gas meter after I switched to an ASHP. Despite admitting they never told me there would be a fee, they are still demanding payment. I’ve filed a formal complaint, especially since Ofgem has ruled that charging for meter removals in this context is unlawful

16 Days with no heating and hot water Short version: UW respond really quickly to billing/sales enquiries but their customer service is appalling. Long version: 2 days before my holiday my boiler broke down. I called out a GasSafe engineer to come and diagnose the fault and service my boiler. The engineer diagnosed a faulty smart gas meter which had lost power. I called UW (took ten minutes to answer) whilst the engineer was present and the UW agent on the phone (who sounded like she couldn't care less) informed me that I must send a video by e-mail. The gas engineer said "let me speak to her", but she said there was no point. So, I sent a video by e-mail. Their e-mail said the video must be shorter than 30 seconds long. I sent a 29 second long video. I received no reply, so chased this by email a few days later, they said they hadn't received an email from me. So I sent it again, again I received no response, so I'm assuming my e-mail didn't go through. My assumption is that their system for sending videos of faults must only be able to process videos of a certain file size, so the video length is irrelevant, especially if the video is 4K/HDR/etc. It baffles me that a company such as UW does not have a better system for uploading video files. So anyway, I cut down my video to 18 seconds, sent this off to them, and hey, still not received a reponse! What a shock... I believe your gas supplier is supposed to reconnect your gas supply within 4 hours, I am now on day 16 and we still haven't got to the stage where we are discussing an engineer coming to restore my gas supply. I had someone staying at my house to look after my pets whilst I was on holiday, and they refused to stay which caused me a logistic and financial problem, plus the stress of having to deal with this whilst on holiday was a real pain. SORT IT OUT UTILITY WAREHOUSE!
