This used to be a good company...however they have recently sent an invoice to my son for nearly £3500 out of the blue, this for a small 3 bed house and over and above the usual direct debit. Nothing on their "system" about his complaint even though a recorded delivery letter was sent to them along with emails and phone calls made. Told him the meter must be faulty and they would send an engineer...nothing. I would strongly advise to think carefully before signing up, he has now involved Ofgem and the media to try and get the matter resolved.

Awful company avoid at all cost! They promise things will be done while speaking but must put the phone down and forget all about the conversations. Keep giving estimates way over the top have ignored my emails as well as the meter reading I sent in and made one up Gave a false reading to my previous company claiming I had read the meter when I hadn't? Emailed me yesterday to say they'd ring me midday today now 630pm still waiting. I shall be leaving ASAP when companies start taking on new people! Be warned so stressful!

I don't get the bad reviews, I'm having a fantastic experience with UW. I've taken all services and everything is great! And I love the cashback card.

Terrible customer service. Last email I got from Sandra just took the mickey. Sort the problem I have got, never assume it has been fixed. IT HASN'T. I refuse to wait on hold for more than an hour. I will be leaving UW at my earliest possible moment.

Why has my kw price for electricity went up from 30p to 41 p when the cap is set at 34p, and sending estimated readings when I have sent in the meter readings, absolutely shocking company.

Does anyone actually work at Utility warehouse? I moved into a new house and they provided the gas and electricity for the previous owner, I was trying to get through to someone most days to activate my account for 3 WEEKS! I was left on hold for 45 minutes each time I rang before I gave up. Got through occasionally to a person but they still couldn't help me and just transferred me again to hold for another 45mins! I gave up after 3 weeks and contacted Octopus who I used before, they apologised for the long wait (which was only 15mins) and they sorted everything out for me there and then which was super simple and great customer service. I now have a bill for those weeks from Utility warehouse to pay (which is fine) but I can't talk to anyone to actually pay and can't do it online as my account number isn't valid. I am currently on hold again (40mins so far) but if they want my payment they can knock on my door as this is an joke! Never use this company!

Worst experience I've ever had dealing with customer services.

We understood our bill was based on the new smart meter readings but after a few months realised that we were being charged a lot more than the monthly figure on the meter. In addition our monthly payment on the budget plan was far more than we were using or would use in winter and in 3 months we had built up a credit of £475. It took me over an hour on hold to get through to customer services. To be fair the person I spoke to was competent and helpful and it turned out that the connection between our smart meter and UW had failed and my bills were based on estimates well over what we were using. However only the most recent bill stated the reading was estimate based. The earlier ones said incorrectly that they were meter readings I also cancelled the budget plan and it was agreed that a technician would be sent out to look at the meter. They told me I was due a refund of £845 and it would be paid in 7 days. Watch this space!! It concerns me that people who are busy/technophobic/ visually impaired etc might not notice what was going on and think it was all due to the high energy prices and not notice they were being seriously overcharged in the event of smart meter failure.

had to call numerous times as they were not very helpful. Also on wait for around an hour on average. Not happy at all. cant even help me with a meter reading. Also be careful when signing up for a bundle package. Had broadband added 18month contract. Had it for 2 months but then had to move house, so needed to cancel services. Was charged £421 early termination fee. What a joke. How can they call it an early termination fee if i am paying for the whole 18 month contract

Horrendous. I called about a bill that had shop up from £90 to £800. I was PROMISED there was a protection on the payment and it wouldn't be taken for 30 days until the issue was resolved and I'd be set up with a payment plan if needed. Next day, £800 gone from my account leaving me with nothing for the month. I have been on hold for 45 minutes. AWFUL company

I am very hard of hearing. I have emergency insurance cover for my house, and a drainage problem. They offer 4 day reply to emails, no text offered or a way to contact them if you have a disability..does the disability discrimination law still exist?
