Terrible experience with Homeshift

Terrible experience with Homeshift, recommend you avoid at all costs.

Only used for electricity but bills were more than double what I had paid with previous supplier. Hard to keep track as regular bills not sent and metre readings not requested. Despite paying huge monthly bills, I had over £500 owing on my account when I requested final bill when I moved out after 12 months. Five months after leaving the property I’ve received an email to say i now owe another £200.

No evidence e.g. a bill has been sent to support this. I’ve can’t get in touch with the company to clarify and they are now threatening with debt collection agency.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your review.

I can see from your account that we are in communication with you about the outstanding amount due on the account. We, unfortunately, do not have any details of you making a final payment to include your usage to your final date and this is why you have been contacted. We produce bills monthly on your personal dashboard and email you when these are available to view.

I appreciate that you were unaware the bill was outstanding, but after five months of no payment, we had no alternative but to instruct a collections team to try and take payment.

I'm pleased to see it's now being sorted out and we are in discussion about a payment plan.

Best wishes

Terrible

Terrible. Awful. Dreadful. Avoid at all costs. They have billed me a huge amount for a property that has been empty. I have provided meter reads but not updated their records and they are hounding me on a daily basis and threatening me with debt collector. Now they have doubled the bill. I have contacted customer services numerous times but they never do anything. Useless company.

Hello Alexia,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review letting us know of your recent experience with us.

We are so sorry to hear that you have had some issues with the billing of your account and with the customer service team not being able to assist you further.

I am deeply saddened to notify you that, as you may have already seen in the news, our energy partner Colorado Energy is ceasing to trade and Shell Energy has now been appointed by OFGEM. Unfortunately, due to unprecedented market conditions, Colorado Energy is no longer able to operate and continue providing you with 100% renewable energy.

Due to this we currently have limited access to our billing system and have not been able to review the billing of some accounts. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and we look forward to getting this resolved for you as soon as possible.

Best Wishes,
Team Homeshift

£750 Credit not returned

I moved out of my last flat over two months ago. Homeshift have still failed to pay me back the £750 credit they had taken through three years of overcharging. Now they tell me that their partner company has gone bust and they wont be returning the credit! All payments have gone through Homeshift, Homeshift is holding the credit, Homeshift is still in business, yet they are not returning their customer's money. Please use a more reputable and accountable firm.

Worst energy company I have ever had…

Worst energy company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Their main department does not communicate with their accounts department. Therefore, despite me setting up a monthly direct debit with the main department I have been hassled non stop by debt collection agencies as the accounts department seem to be unaware of my agreed monthly payments. This has now negatively impacted my credit score and Homeshift claim they cannot help. Disgusting company I shall have to take this to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your review.

Ofgem, the energy regulator, has appointed Shell Energy to support Colorado Energy customers after the company ceased trading.

Shell Energy will automatically take over your supply – you don’t need to do anything. Your energy supply will continue as normal. If your account is in credit, they'll add any money you’re owed to your Shell Energy account. However, as they're currently working with administrators, this may take a while.

Shell Energy is working closely with Ofgem and Colorado Energy’s administrators to ensure a seamless switchover. Right now you don’t need to do anything – they'll be in touch if they need any extra information.

Won't Stop Billing Even Though Service Ended in May 2021

Shocking - my internet service ended with Homeshift on 13/05/21. They have confirmed this in writing but are still billing me and trying to take monies from my credit card. Homeshift say my account is still active and this is due to it being one of their legacy internet subscriptions and the system had a hard time cancelling. They were escalating this to their technical team and getting back to me. That was back on 29/07/21 and still no-one getting back, still being invoiced and monies trying to be taken from my credit card.

Bernard and other staff members are very good. Energy is expensive.

They weren't very good as an energy company becaus they were so expensive but the staff members that I chatted to were always really helpful and friendly. I had an issue with my closed account and spoke to Bernard on the phone. Bernard was very helpful, reassuring and friendly. Solved my problem straight away and followed up with emails.

I rated 5 stars on the fact that I think the staff members are really helpful and should get more credit but the energy prices were too high for me to stay.

Minus star rating.

Minus star rating.
Thanks for the auto response, but this is of no help.
I just want a refund for electric that I was charged for a different address to my own. You have admitted error.

I will not get a credit once switched to new supplier as my electric is controlled by my landlord as I live in annex building and my house is not on national grid, so I will not have a new supplier. I have never had any electric supplied via homeshift, I was lied to on phone when I was told bill was from meter readings.

I feel robbed by homeshift, I am out of pocked for an error on your part.

Worst company I have dealt with as was promised refund 3 times now on

Charged us for dual fuel but only supplied gas. Refusing to return £300. Appalling customer service as well.

Appalling service from Homeshift. Do not have anything to do with them. They are pretending that every error of theirs is down to Colorado Energy that is causing the problem; this is nonsense.
I registered for dual fuel with them seven months ago and then got a bill from SSE four months later. Apparently, Homeshift had only set up gas supply but were DD billing us for estimated dual fuel but failed to tell us this. We have been double charged for electricity, once with SSE and once with Homeshift (who did not supply this). Homeshift have been refusing to return over £300 credit to us for the last few months, even although they never supplied the electricity they charged us for. Now that they have problems with Colorado Energy they are pretending they can use that as an excuse to not pay us back. Ludicrous and I would think mendacious if it wasn't so obviously just incompetence.

Hi Michael,

I understand that this may be a worrying or uncertain time for you, and I do want to help you. Please be assured that any credit balances you hold with Homeshift powered by Colorado Energy will be protected.

Your complaint will now be administered and picked up by the supplier appointed by OFGEM under the SoLR process, in this instance Shell Energy, who will work with you to resolve this matter in a timely fashion.

Please avoid at all costs! End up destroying your credit rating.

Do not use these!!! I switched when buying my house as old owner used these. I heard nothing after the switch until a credit recovery agent text me to say I owed them £12.00.

I never received a final bill, email, letter or telephone call about it. Lady on the phone told me it’s their process to go straight to credit recovery as to actually contact people or send final bill.

Avoid unless you want your credit score crippling. They also promise a manager will call you back… but guess what they never do.

Hello Emily,

Thank you for your review and we all understand your frustrations.

Everyone at Homeshift is devastated that the energy industry is in such a bad place right now, with lots of companies, both large and small, ceasing to trade.

As our supply has now been taken over by Shell Energy, I can only refer you to them to pick up your complaint.

Sad farewell to Homeshift

I have just been informed that I will no longer be dealing with Homeshift as it appears my energy supplier, Colorado Energy, has gone under. I'm sad about this as I have always enjoyed the personal feeling of their customer service especially from Kevin who seemed to respond immediately to any queries. Good luck to you all201
