Changing to a fixed tariff was easy!

The information on fixed tariffs was easy to locate and gave all the information on the tariffs offered in an easy, understandable way for comparison.
So Energy also did not co-erce me into having a smart meter if I changed tariff. Easy to understand welcome pack received promptly by email with all the relevant customer service contacts for any issues arising. I have been supplied by So Energy for many years no complaints, excellent service, prompt meter reading reminders. Thank you.

Automated answering service not working correctly.

Difficulty trying to speak to an agent by phone. Despite me phoning five times the automated voice did not accept my details and said they were incorrect. THEY WERE NOT. Someone needs to sort this out and quickly.

I eventually spoke to a nice lady by answering NO to all the automated questions. She was very helpful and I was later able to make a reasoned decision.

Don't use this company

Nobody bothers to answer the phone. When my mother died I was still receiving emails with her name on it and I wouldn't touch this company with a barge poll. The staff were the most insensitive people I have ever come across

Hi Karen,

Firstly, we’re very sorry for your loss. We can only imagine how difficult this time has been for you, and we’re truly sorry that your experience with us added to that distress.


We’re extremely concerned to hear about the issues you’ve raised. Receiving communications in your mother’s name after informing us, as well as feeling that our team were insensitive, is not the level of care or respect we aim to provide especially in such sensitive circumstances. We also understand how frustrating it must have been not to be able to get through on the phone when you needed support.


Please be assured that your feedback is being taken very seriously. We would really like the opportunity to look into what happened and make things right for you. 

If you’re willing, please contact us directly or send us a private message with your account details so we can investigate this fully and support you properly.

Kind regards
Max

Poor customer service - apologised and acted upon

As a potential customer, I was unable to speak to a human because I was required to provide an existing account number before I could be connected. After venting my frustration on this website, I quickly received email from Jagvir, part of the SO Energy Resolutions Team. He apologised and confirmed that my complaint had been escalated to the management. He also followed up today 01 June with a phone call, explaining that several factors had contributed to my experience, and reiterating that management was aware, inviting me to contact him direct should the experience be repeated. Independently, I made a call to SO Energy, although no agent was readily available, I was able to request and receive a call-back without undue problems.
In the light of the above, I have deleted my earlier review, substituting this in its place.

Hello Dee,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about the experience you had when trying to contact us.

We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when you were genuinely interested in joining So Energy.

Our phone and chat systems are designed to help direct customers to the right support quickly, but in your case, it’s clear they created unnecessary barriers instead of helping you speak with someone directly.

We truly appreciate you highlighting this, as feedback like yours helps us identify where we need to improve the experience for new customers who are looking to switch to us. We never want anyone to feel ignored or stuck in a loop when trying to get support.

I've sent you an email. If you could please have a read through and respond at the earliest opportunity available. It'll be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Jag.
