My Utiliita "Chat" Support

I have just finished using My Utiliita app to access onlibe support through "chat" , this was initially through Ai and then i was transferred to "Lindi".

Lindi was very responsive, my request was to move from pay as you go to direct debit for my gas and electricity, Linda made the process very easy to understand and not too much reading required. Total time from start to end onf chat with Lindi was around 1 hour.

Non stop issues with app not automatically topping up, manually made top ups not going through and failing to sync to meter, meter turning off despite having credit, meter turning off because you don't have credit even though it should have topped up but then not recognising when the top up does go through so you can turn it back on. I've even had the meter changed as of a few weeks ago and had 2 more losses of the entire freezers contents while I'm at work so a change in meter has changed nothing. They even charged my bank once and then never gave the credit back. Also haven't responded to my complaint letter I sent them 2 weeks ago after the new meter first shut off. I'm gonna have to send another by recorded delivery for the ombudsman but the total financial impact to me from Utilitas failing is not inconsiderable now.

My advice. Run to the hills.

Hello,

Thank you for leaving this review and bringing this to our attention. I'm very sorry to hear of the issues that you have been facing with the app. I can see you have had the Auto Pay feature set up to top up the meter automatically, but I can see this has not been happening. I appreciate that as you have been expecting the app to make payments automatically, the meter has disconnected unexpectedly when the credit and friendly credit has been exhausted.

As discussed, I have raised this with our IT department to investigate why the Auto Pay feature is not working, and will be in touch when I have an update on this.

Kind Regards,
William

I was given a very courteous and professional service by a young lady called Leah, she dealt with my issue in an extremely polite manner and I believe she is a credit to the company.

Fix your app

Fix your app! Cannot transfer credit between meters, even though email box etc is ticked and correct amount of money left in each meter.

Also fix your online chat!! 113 minute wait time is bang out of order almost 2 hours! Who has that kond of time to wait around except for the unemployed? Help them out and hire some perhaps reduce your wait time.

Will be leaving utilita, great that you offer friendly credit etc and out weigh other providers but your customer service lets you down completely

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that you've been dissatisfied with your recent experience, and I appreciate how frustrating this situation must have felt. Having reviewed your account, I can confirm that a credit transfer between your gas and electricity meters was completed successfully yesterday. From our records, the credit was transferred as expected and applied to the electricity meter. I have also reviewed our live chat performance for the period you contacted us. Yesterday, the average wait to speak to us on live chat was around 17 minutes, but I appreciate that any delay can feel frustrating when you need assistance.

To better understand your concerns and gather further feedback about your experience, I attempted to contact you by phone at 10:19 on 18/08, 15:46 on 18/08 and 11:18 on 19/08 but was unable to reach you. If you still require assistance with this, please contact our customer services on 0330 333 7442. We value all customer feedback and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further and address any remaining concerns.

Kind Regards,
William

Someone came round and took details off…

Someone came round and took details off my elderly mom to sign up. She is very vunerable and handed them over.

I called the same day, 12th June to cancel it. But the agent decided not to listen and left it running.

Not a single com until now.
Mom was just hit with a bill for both EDF & Utilita.
After over 15 calls, hung up on twice, agents trans me to wrong dept each and every time, I am writing this while on hold. Its been 36minutes on hold and almost 4 hours and im no further forward.
Probably the 16th agent about to drop off Earth.

Awful experience. Awful.

Utilita accepted they didnt cancel when asked, and 'goodwilled' £40 credit. That only coverer the late payments?
Not even arguing, just want to be rid but its improving impossible to go!!

Hi Lizzy,

Thank you for taking my call today. I'm very sorry to hear of the experience, when you tried to cancel the switch before your mother going live with us after signing up accidently.

As discussed, there has been an erroneous transfer request raised on the account to transfer the supply back to the original supplier. I have also placed the account on hold to ensure that no follow up action is taken while this is being worked for you.

Kind Regards,
William

I had a really positive experience with…Utilita

I had a really positive experience with Utilita, from my first contact with Mo in November 2025 through to the final installation in March 2026.
Mo was my first and main point of contact throughout the process. He was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and incredibly patient. I was given lots of information and impartial advice, and some of it was quite technical and difficult for me to understand at first. Mo took the time to explain everything clearly and in a way that I could understand, never making me feel uncomfortable about asking questions.
Mo arranged Teams meetings to talk me through the process step by step, explain how the solar panel installation would work and answer all my questions. This made what could have been a complicated and stressful experience feel much more straightforward and manageable.
Kayvan was my backup contact if I ever needed help and couldn't get hold of Mo. He was also very helpful in advising me about joining Utilita Optimise and explaining it to me.
I particularly appreciated that there was no hard sell at any point. I felt I was given honest, impartial information and was able to make my own decisions without feeling pressured.
From November 2025 right through to the final installation in March 2026, I felt well supported.
Both Mo and Kayvan were patient, knowledgeable and professional, and they treated me extremely well.
I'm extremely happy with the service I received from Utilita and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering having solar panels installed. A special thank you to Mo and Kayvan for making the whole experience so positive and stress-free.

Moving

I've been with you for about 8 years. I recently moved and you've been useless with sorting it all out. You set me up a new account instead of switching to the new property. My gas meter wasn't working for up for a month. I had to phone to get my refund from my old account and now my electric meter isn't connecting properly. So that's another phone call. You need to sort yourselves out its been the most stressful time trying to get all this sorted. If it carries on I'm leaving the company

Hi Aiysha,

Thanks for taking my call this morning. I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have been experiencing with us since moving house. This was first caused by communication issues with the gas meter, but this has now been sorted and the meter is in pre-payment and communicating with us. However, as the installation took place later on Friday, we have not been able to update this on our systems meaning the gas and electric are showing on two different agreements on our systems. This is why the app is only showing the gas just now and not the electric.

As discussed, I have spoken with the department who deal with this, and the gas and electric are now showing on the same agreement. I'm glad to hear that this has now resolved the issue for you.

Kind Regards,
William

THIS IS A 0 STAR REVIEW MADE 5 STAR SO PEOPLE READ IT.

Spoke to at least 10 different people in the last 2 weeks in an attempt to get another tenants previous debt taken off my account because they decided to credit me for the debt. Now my gas won't turn on and the say "our systems are not working right now".

Then you tell me I need an engineer and that you will pass me through to the meter engineer line.

Then I get sent back to sales or pre-payment and have to go through my details for security again.

When you pass someone over to another department pass the details of the customer over too otherwise what was the point, I may have just rang someone else. It's not that hard.

The advice is to Call, Call, Call and do it until you get through to someone who actually uses their brain.

If not, shout and complain until you get what you want. I will not be bullied. If I do not owe something I will not be paying it.

Hi Dylan,

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you have been facing with trying to have the previous tenants debt removed from the meter. I appreciate the frustration this will be causing for you.

I would like to investigate this further for you, so I have sent a request for further information by e-mail. This e-mail will be sent via a Trustpilot e-mail address and not a Utilita one. This is due to you using the Trustpilot platform to leave us this review.
