Hi Alistair,
We're sorry to hear you feel disappointed. Our competitions are free to enter and all winners are selected in accordance with the competition terms and conditions. While we appreciate your loyalty as a customer over the last 10 years, entering a competition does not guarantee a prize, regardless of how many times an entry is submitted.

We understand it can be frustrating not to have won, but we can assure you that competition winners are chosen fairly and independently in line with the published rules.
Kind Regards Dean

What a surprise we had the other day....

What a surprise we had the other morning, my husband and I looked at our super smart meter and noticed that there was £50.00 credited to the meter, it was then I checked the "my Utilita app" on my phone and had an e-mail ""congratulating"" us on winning £50.00 in the Jackpot prize draw. WOW it was super quick putting the winnings on the meter straight away, customer care service were very quick notifying us. This is the 1st time we've won anything and we've been with Utilita for about 16years. Thank you Utilita

I moved into the flat some time ago and tried to register with Utilita.
I completed the online form, but never heard anything back. Later, when I called to pay a £500 bill, I was told I couldn't make the payment because I wasn't listed as the account holder.

To make things even better, their "Pay as a Guest" portal wouldn't let me pay the full £500 in one transaction, so I had to split it into two separate payments of £250 each. Crazy, right? They won`t let you pay but will sent CONEXUS to collect the money hahah
This is Utilita!

UPDATE the call handler just told me that if i don`t set up a direct debit I will pay a 9% charge on top of the bill, what on earth is going on

Hi Serg

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm very sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced with setting up your account and making payments.

As your review does not have any identifying information included I am unable to investigate your account directly. I have sent a request via Trustpilot for more information. If you can respond to this I can look into this for you.

If someone calls us and their name is not listed on an account we are limited in actions we can take until data protection information can be confirmed. For instance we would not be able to confirm the amounts of any bills on an account. Having said that, you should have been able to pay a self-elected amount towards a bill if you choose. I'm very sorry this was made more difficult for you.

We operate 3 different Tariff options for our customers, which have slightly different unit rates for energy. Our cheapest tariff option is to use a prepayment meter, where you pay for your energy in advance. In addition to this we offer a credit meter option where you receive bills for your energy after it has been used. Credit meters can either be set up with a Direct Debit, which makes the energy slightly cheaper but not as cheap as prepayment, or can be paid after a bill is produced.

The difference in price between the cheapest option (prepayment) and the most expensive (credit meter without a Direct Debit in place) works out as close to 9% over the course of the year. There is no additional charge added on top of the bill, there is a slight difference in tariff unit prices based on how your energy is paid. I hope this helps resolve any confusion.

Kind regards,
Jacob
