Shocking Company, 45 minutes in the telephone queue and gave up, 15 emails and rubbish responses, unable to call customers the dial system not working - avoid at all costs. UW your customer service is in the gutter.

Shocking customer service . Extremely rude and unhelpful people dealing with cash back card enquiries. Good luck to anyone trying to get a refund transferred from the old cash back card to the new one, or even getting the refund at all !

The most traumatic experience in trying to pay my bill following family members leaving the house (they paid the bill). I am owner of house and have spent 6 weeks trying to get the account into my name, pay the bill and to review the current tarrif as I am the only one living in the house. I have never experienced such a shoddy organisation. I am in the process of looking elsewhere. As other people have said this is not a one stop shop to resolve any issue you have it is pass the buck shop!

For a start our Wi-Fi took 3 weeks to come in. Next they never sent us out a new electricity key for a month so we were left without any kind of electric etc. for this we were compensated £25 off of our bill at the end of the month. They have not managed to change us over from the last gas supplier and now we’re are sticking with them. Customer service is shocking and can’t get a hold of them easily. My Wi-Fi has been on and off for three weeks and I cannot get on to do my work, college work, assignments etc.

Absolutely ridiculous… second call today and all I want is to join my energy monitor to my meters which they state in the letter will take 2 minutes. Thankfully I am not the CEO otherwise the customer service team would be replaced swiftly. Reputation is hard to get back once it is lost and these reviews paint a terrible picture of UW.

It is the worst running business in England and honestly,1 star for their rating is too generous!!! In Feb 2022 we contacted this company .For 1 month they could not install WiFi,they sent us about 7 sim cards,every time previous one was cancelled because of some issues and miscommunication in their system. We spent about 15 hours total on a phone with their call centre. And they still couldn't arrange their staff to come to our house and install WiFi!Eventually we get fed up and cancelled a contract with them.Even cancellation process took 3 hours on a phone...Even after cancellation they still send us sim cards and now they sent us outstanding bill of 89£ for a services that we never used!!!Honestly it is shocking. Unprofessional horrible service.

In a matter of a few months the four utilities I get from UW have gone from costing me £80/£90 a month to the latest bill of £145 which I can’t afford to pay. The cost of the gas alone for 2/3 units is £61.50! This is a company going down the drain and I would say to anyone to steer well clear. I would change energy supplier but can’t do so at the moment, even Compare the Market is not doing price comparisons. I am more than happy to add my name as I don’t give a damn about offending these rip off merchants. My name is IAN PYE.

The pitch they use to switch you is "if we can't provide you with cheaper bills, we will match what you're paying now". I wish it was true. Once they have you, there are all sort of reasons why they cannot give you the price promised. Then comes the after sales service. After realising I was being charged for a service that I had previously cancelled and was not using, it took two calls totalling four hours for me to get through to someone who could help. Thanks goodness I came across Chris who tried his best to sort out my problems, but UW customer service is painful.

Appalling service on closure of account. Mothers house was sold, mother was in a care home, not at all well. As her son with POA I advised of change of ownership of the property and tried to close the account. Despite providing copies of POA, one month later after numerous communications UW are still unable to action and provide final bill. Mother has died in the interim and still they have not sorted. The responses are appalling. Every other service provided sorted the House sale with one simple telephone call. I raised a complaint and was told would get an answer within 5 days, 13 days later still not sorted and even though I have raised complaint they ask me to contact via their main contact number which takes usually 30 minutes for someone to answer. They have no customer service ability at all and no empathy to the situation. Quite simply appalling at this very emotional time.

This review is about the boiler and home cover. The value for money here isn’t very good. A boiler service costs around £60 so that’s around 3.5 months of payments. If you call to report any other issues in the home - electrical or drainage for example - they’ll charge a £50 excess and call it an emergency claim. You’ll end up paying more out on the other 8.5 months of payments as well as ‘excess’ so it’s not really worth it in the long run plus the premium goes up after the first year so I wouldn’t bother. Probably best to put that money into a savings account for when these things go wrong.

hold 1hour and 10mins absolutely disgusting, I'm in the process of moving disabled and have no time for this, you can barely do anything online your so outdated i would probably be better off going to Bedrock and asking Fred Flintstone to sort it out. I've had enough now ended the call and will try again in the morning. I will not be taking UW with me number 1 I cant and number 2 why would I, avoid like the bubonic plague if I was you.

I've moved in to a new house where uw is the supplier, I've even got a welcome to your new home letter from uw. But when I ring as requested to set up payment details nobody answers when I'm being transfered to the moving house team and I've tried several times now and while I have spoken to operators they can only put me through to the moving house team, who don't answer !
