Topped up my meter 4 days ago. Still not showing. Emailed twice. This happens all the time. This company is probably the worse company for service I have ever dealt with. My advice, don't touch them absolutely useless

Your service and the way I have been treated is disgusting, I have to open complaint with yourself that have been ongoing since April , I have had no contact apart from when I have had to call and wait an hour on the line , and then to be told my Complaint is closed, as vulnerable customer you have showed lack of empathy and understanding and still 5 months down the line my complaint has not been resolved , and closed without my knowledge , I have consistently had to repeat myself over and over to your colleagues who have no consideration, and with the situation being so stressful without having to repeat myself time after time , your staff are more concerned about finishing their shift at 8 o clock on time , I have never ever had a worse experience that’s with UW and will never ever recommend you to anyone , absolutely disgusting and I am going to your regulators one you eventually send me final response , please no one go with this company , worst company I have ever dealt with!!! I have literally been in tears after speaking to them

6 months I've been waiting to have smart meters put in so I can switch to monthly billing from pre payment which was in place when I moved into the property, you continually cancelled the appointments at the last minute, and now you're demanding a £200 deposit. No one mentioned that for the last 6 months I've been trying to get you to sort this out. Not one time. So I either have to pay more for my gas and electricity supply, or give you £200. That's extortion, and I absolutely will not put up with it.

Please don't sign up, specifically for energy. We have smart gas and electric meter and they always send estimated bill. Last month they send £533.08 bill eventhough we have set up monthly DD. Raised complaint they agreed to review the bill but unresolve this matter. Promised they will send Deadlock letter in 2 week when spoke with them on 14.07.22 but letter yet. Big Nooooo

Worse company I have ever dealt with. Poor communication, staff that is not well trained. Overcharge me and when you sign up you need to pay deposit. Now they don't acknowledge that they need to refund me my deposit as well as overcharge on account

Really bad at what they say they will do, still waiting for cash back card that they promised 2 months ago can't get the £50 deal and smart meter that was originally offered and customer services's no help. It took 2 months to get the whole company to set the DD up and three meter readings LATER. Very unorganised company I can't see this company lasting.

Unfortunately my poor elderly mother is with UW, we are trying to submit meter readings and reduce the budget payments from £250 a month on a one bedroom flat, without consulting her they increase them ! I have now been sat on the phone nearly 2 hours waiting for them to answer, it is very poor they expect their customers to sit and wait to get through, UW does not look after its customers and definitely do look after the elderly from my experience. Steer clear of this company unless you are prepared to sit wait hours to talk to anyone and are bored.

TERRIBLE COMPANY - USE AS A LAST RESORT. been sent an email chasing to payment of a bill - they cannot seem to cope with more than one business account number for direct debit so I always have to phone up to sort out a payment - just waited for 1 hour 36 mins to speak to someone and still no answer .. appalling ....

The worse company ever! horrible customer service. they were supposed to get the supplier over from the 5th of July as e new tenant! they haven't Yet. I've been calling them a few times a week, and I was waiting in line for up to 2 hours, and just transfer me to different departments without any clue what was going on. I canceled all services with them. Need to urgently improve all systems and ways to work with clients.

This company have promised to contact me, they haven’t, they told me they have sent me a private message, they haven’t. My husband and me have been on hold for hours trying to get through. They are incompetent liars. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY….

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! Multi-level marketing at its worse, agent sells you what seems like a great deal then leaves you to fend for yourself with the most appalling service. You will waste days of your life being on hold to speak with someone because they are so incompetent. I would love to know if they make money from keeping us on hold for so long. They have caused us SO MUCH STRESS!!

Absolutely horrendous! Would not recommend to anyone. I joined in 2019 and had endless issues which were eventually resolved (took endless amounts of phone calls on my part) but luckily I did not have any further issues. I moved home in June and was told that I could simply transfer over all of my services to the new property and my bills would continue without paying any lump sum from the previous property. I was also told that all I needed to do with my broadband was to plug in the router and be good to go. This was not the case. Once again, after multiple phone calls (which I had to chase as no one knew the answer) I was informed that they were not able to provide my broadband, but even if they could it would take a minimum of 30 days to be active!? So just plugging in was completely false. I have now had to find another provider elsewhere which has affected my bills with UW as it is a reduction in services so my discount of being a triple gold member was no longer valid. Once again, endless phone calls to resolve and eventually we came to a solution. It is now august and I have received a gas & electricity bill from another company stating I have an outstanding balance with them, even though I have been paying UW for these services. I spoke with an advisor on the 6th and informed me that he would get a refund processed for the bills paid and would investigate further as to why this has happened as he could not understand why I was being charged for a service they are not providing. I was promised a call back and email on the Monday but of course, I received nothing. I have made multiple phone calls throughout the week chasing for an update and have had to wait over an hour for someone to answer! Still no joy in finding a solution, and I have been passed from energy team, to the billing team and then back to energy. Still haven’t received an explanation or solution to this error. Absolutely shocking service! I am now requesting for my account to be closed and compensation for the errors, incorrect information and general experience received as it has been beyond shocking.

OMG I can not believe the incompetence. 4 times I spoken to them so far. Calling from overseas and one thing I’m told something else is NOT done!! Everytime I talk to them I’m glad I left the country. I just feel sorry for my tenants who are really struggling to get things resolved. I can not believe the low quality service and even lower quality people who are working here. There’s no respect whatsoever for customers. Do not touch!!!

I am in ongoing emails with you about what you say I owe you from when I canceled my account with you on the 20/04/2022 I told you I am going to live abroad but I have been here nearly 3 months and you still have not sorted out this mess, I canceled my payment method with you when I thought everything had been closed you even gave me a refund of what you owed me but then the emails came saying I owed you you managed to get access to my credit card details and take a payment from it and now I have another email off you saying what my next monthly bill will be are you for real 😳 every time I get an email off you it is by a different person why can you not put one person on this distressing issue and get it sorted out for me please please please sort this matter out I am living in another country now

A sales rep called Alan came into our home and mis-sold us a full package. We were told we could switch from pay as you go to direct debit on our gas and electric. Ended up spending 24 hours without gas and electric because they havent been swapped and theres no emergency number that deals with pay as you go metres, puting tropical fish at risk of death. The wireless broadband was meant to be 3 times faster than when we were with vodaphone but it's 3 times slower. Don't switch to Utility wearhouse, it's not technically a scam or pyrimid scheme but it may as well be. Trying to cancel the phones since it was stolen this weekend and currently been on hold for an hour. Nightmare company, avoid at all costs. If anyone tells you theyre good theyre just trying to get 50 quid off their next bill-told ya may as well be a pyrimid scheme.
