“I have never experienced anything as stressful, obstructive and frankly outrageous as my dealings with Utility Warehouse, and I feel duty‑bound to warn others to stay well away. I opened an account with them and a friend warned me about them so 6 days after I formally cancelled the contract, well within the cooling off period. They refused to accept this and continued to treat me as an active customer against my wishes. Demanded meter readings Refused to release the account so that a reputable supplier such as Good Energy Ignored follow-up emails This is not a simple misunderstanding or a minor admin error, it feels like they are deliberately TRAPPING me in an unwanted relationship with a company I do not wish to use, while blocking a legitimate supplier from stepping in. I have now escalating this as a formal complaint and awaiting a response. In my opinion, no one should have to go through this. If you value clear communication, respect for your choices, and even the most basic standard of customer service, I would strongly urge you to AVOID Utility Warehouse and look to more reputable suppliers instead.”

“Switched to UW with the promise of cheaper fixed rate deals. Salesman went through current gas and electricity bills and quoted us quite a bit cheaper. Overall, we were around £20 a month cheaper. Then after 1 year we had a bill for £800, saying we'd used more gas and electric than expected (which we hadn't) . Not one email or phone call from customer service to warn us. Bills then went up in new contract act from £245 to £385. Complete and utter con artists, avoid. Went to British Gas, 100% better, cheaper and user friendly.”

“Possibly the worst company I've ever switched to. We were with sky for broadband and OVO and had a call from local partners. We switched with the promise of faster broadband and cheaper energy bills and ended up getting a SIM as it's pushed like a meal deal! The WiFi has been shockingly bad and ended up having to buy boosters and paying extra. Our sky boxes repeatedly loose connection now which never happend before. It's like going back to the dark ages with UW. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. I could cry with how stressful it is getting anywhere with this company. I became a partner while joining as a customer and it's like a cult. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.”

“They do not listen what is said to them, they lie and provide different information every time when you contact with them they say they will do something and they not! 3 months to solve complaint and they managed to close it 3 times without even contacting but they claim they did! Worst service ever!”

“Wish I never transfered to UW. Budget plans a con don't do it.. they will slap u with a massive bill at the end of year making it impossible for u to move to another company. Vulnerability forms every 90 days don't know what for as they never take it into consideration. I have my phones with them too they put me in debt then switched off my phone services to get me to pay the debt. No warning just cut my phone off. Managed to get it back on after an hour and a half phone call. Logged complaints to improve service ovwr and over .. the customer service ladies get upset thinking it's personal when it isn't . Even when there has been no swearing or name calling. Think they forget they work for a terrible company that are con artist and blackmailers. Over changing from the smart meter not actually the smart meter is not acurrant they said.. why did I even get the smart meter? Bills just go up and up. Promises broken and hardship to follow . Disgusting service”

“This company is by far the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with. The staff tell more lies than Jeffrey Epstein and jimmy saville did. Logged in excess of 7 complaints with a company who just took over my provider they managed to resolve 5 magically without even speaking to me or contacting me in any way shape or form. Had loss of service in excess of a week and still no closer to resolution so I called them up and terminated my dealings with them. They treat disabled members of society like garbage they lie to them mistreat them and waste in excess of 30 hours of my life for what ? Absolutely nothing and the company is still doing it. I’ve changed provider now they act like I didn’t do that but been smart I warned them I’ve recorded all conversations we had together and should they try anything after I’ve terminated I will take them to court for impeding on my civil rights as well as my disabled ones and should they try any further stunts with myself I will take them to court and sue them for mistreating vunerable customers. Do yourself a favour stay away from this company there worse then a joke there completely full of lies busting at the seams if you like long headaches and no resolution this company is for you. If you don’t like bad service lies and neglect do yourself a favour and find someone else like I did :)”

“Extremely poor handling of a serious security incident Utility Warehouse’s handling of a SIM-swap / account takeover incident has been shockingly poor. They issued eSIMs for our mobile numbers to unauthorised third parties, effectively giving criminals control of our phone numbers. This led directly to the attackers taking over email accounts and a UW cashback card linked to the account. Once we alerted UW, the response was chaotic: - It took a very long time and multiple agents before anyone even understood what had happened - There was no clear plan of action - Despite us explicitly asking for everything to be blocked, the cashback card was left active, allowing the thieves to spend the remaining balance the next day We were told replacement SIM cards would be sent urgently, as we currently have no phone service at all. However, UW only sent one SIM card out of three (for our daughter, but not for me and my wife), which is useless for recovering the compromised accounts. After chasing again, we were told new SIMs might arrive in a few more days. As a result: - We have no working mobile phones - We are relying entirely on home broadband for communication - The stress and risk were entirely avoidable with proper procedures For a company handling mobile services and personal data, this level of confusion, delay, and lack of security response is unacceptable. Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend Utility Warehouse based on how this was handled. We are very new clients to UW, less than a month, and we already have this kind of problems. We wish we had never switched from our previous suppliers, even though they were slightly more expensive.”

“It's impossible to talk to a human. The automated Home Move asks is just a joke. You cannot even leave a message. I had no intention of leaving UW but they give you no option. UW have gone from hassle free to useless in one move.”

“Awful customer service - so many representatives who all pile on to a generic email and no single person taking responsibility for a query. They don’t provide names and you’re just forever stuck in a scripted response. Would never go with them again.”

“Horrible customer service. Can't understand the call handler. Made a complaint and all they keep saying is have £10 and complaint will be resolved. Never use to be like this when call centres were in the UK”
