Treated fairly

I was treated fairly, the person I was talking listened and give me assurance that I will not be cut off from my gas while it is sorted back to your company. She was patience and asked what else she can help me for today's call.
I just hope that in the future when other company will tell you that they will take over as my provider, you will notify me first through post as I can't use phone while at work. This is the reason why I'm kn this mess.
Also what I like about your company is the scheme that I automatically be in it without any hassle. I even won and the money went straight to my meter. I hope you will continue this as it is a big help for us. Especially for me who is the only one who pays all my bills.

Thanks

Hi Isabelita

Thank you for your lovely review. We're really glad you had a great experience with us.

The process of switching to a new provider can be as swift as 5 days so unfortunately we can't guarantee that letters would arrive in time if this were to happen. However I do want to reassure you that Erroneous Transfers (when a customer is moved to a new supplier incorrectly through some kind of mistake) is very rare and is unlikely to happen again.

We typically send texts, along with other material, as a quick and accessible way to communicate any changes happening with your account.

We're also very glad to hear you were one of our monthly draw winners! We love being able to provide a little bit of extra help in this way, along with our other energy schemes.

Disgusting service and do not respond to complaint emails.

I would just like to start with how upset and disappointed I am with your customer service. I've tried contacting you by email twice and they emails have been ignored.

I got a call from my partner to say our electric and gas was off and she had topped it up £20 on each and it wouldn't restart. I called your contact centre and was told there was an issue and to get a manual top up and that would resolve it.

I was working in London and my partner was at home, the first time I called I had to go get a top up and send it her and it still didn't work. The first phone call took me approximately 30minutrs and then had to call up and spend another 35 minute on hold and then another 20 minutes on the phone as they couldn't figure out the issue.

Apparently there was a migration (update of the meter) which took 2 months! When the migration passed then it automatically cut me off. Unfortunately you left my fiance and my 5 year old child without electric or gas so they couldn't cook dinner and also by cutting of my electric you defrosted my whole freezer and my food warm in the fridhe!! No call, no email and no phone call or a text message!

Also you customer service team told me this migration period took 2 weeks to start with and then back tracked later and said actually it started in July!

The first customer service member couldn't even tell me how to fix it and made me waste time chasing round a bloody top up receipt and then the next one told me 2 different things regarding the migration dates which all seems odd.

Something needs to be put in place to monitor this and flag alerts if you have issues call, email or better yet ring your customers!!

You left a 5 year old boy very hungry and my fiance panicing as she had got home late and we couldn't even have dinner.

I'm not happy at all and to be honest you caused me alot of stress and ruined the food in my fridge freezer!

To make matters worse this then happens again where the meter turns off I get a text message this time to say

Sorry - there s a problem with your meters which means you can t top-up. Please call us on 0330 175 9714 and we ll send an engineer to sort it. Don t worry - you won t go off-supply.

But both our meters turned off and we are in the same situation I call up to be told the same rubbish about migration again! This time this on the 10th October. More time wasted on the phone, my son hungry and no means of cooking or electric!!

Over a decade

I have been with Utilita for over a decade, my experience has been amazing. Even with price fluctuations, I have always been informed before hand, and to be fair the price changes have been competitive, although I never truly understand why the energy is so highly priced. Someone knock on my door to change my suppliers, claiming there was cheaper but I refused, I don't pay rent for my meters so why would I change to a provider that does? I have been immensely grateful to Utilita over the years, with their savings scheme, which has helped out a lot. I regularly enter there prize draws but alas never won anything but I enjoy entering. Keep up the great work!

Great company

I joined this company many years ago. We have never had any problems with them and on the couple occasions I've had to speak to them the staff have been very helpful and professional. They offer great prizes every month too (even though I have never won anything). There prices are also cheaper than many other companies.

The best PAYG electric provider in the UK (in my

Since swapping to Utilia my stress has gone away, I was constantly wracking up debt with EDF! I am able to use power ups on the months where there’s a struggle, my warm winter is always put on promptly! Not only that the app is so easy to use that you don’t have to worry about topping up, which is greay for people like me who can get easily triggered with overly complicated systems.
The competitions are always brill, they’ve helped me access a white goods scheme! I’ve also won an air fryer through their own competitions! Highly recommend!
