Easy to renew

Easy to renew, however disappointed that I’m over £600 a year more this time after being advised to put my payments down in April the monthly payment has now increased significantly. I did reduce my payment a little but left my credit balance as a buffer for winter considering the increase in prices. Will see how it pans out before deciding if I’ll renew again next year.

Yet more threats.

Yet more threats.

I have debt, I have been paying regular amounts in top of my bill, by card for some time now, which the company are fully aware of. I made it clear that I will only pay what is affordable which I never miss.

I then renewed on a tariff at £79 a month by direct debit, for them to adjust it to £375 within a week, as they did last year which I complained about.

"You must set up a direct debit"

I don't have to do anything. You do however have legal responsibilities when it comes to debts which you do not adhere to. You DID overcharge me by £3000 for years. You do continue to increase my costs in the winter with the excuse of "heating" which I have never used in the last 5 years of living here.

Con artists. Each new letter/text = new review

I'll provide trust pilot with the evidence each time, you cannot silence the customers you take advantage of.

Ironically, they sent a letter saying I was on a priority list due to my disability. While they harass me needlessly while I keep to the agreement that was made previously.

Hello Joe,

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you feel frustrated with your experience, and we’d like to clarify a few important points.

Firstly, regarding Direct Debits, we are required under Ofgem regulations to review Direct Debit payments at least twice a year. These reviews are based on account balance, usage, and projections to ensure accounts do not fall significantly into debt or build excessive credit. As a result, payment amounts can increase or decrease following these reviews.

We always provide customers 10 days' notice when a review is conducted, and if they want to keep the payments as they are, they would need to contact us, and we can keep the payments the same.

In relation to your tariff, while you may be on a fixed-rate tariff, this only means the unit price of energy and standing charges are fixed for the duration of the agreement. It does not mean that your monthly payments are fixed.

Your Direct Debit amount is based on estimated annual consumption and account balance, and it may be adjusted if there is a shortfall or increased usage, particularly during winter months when energy demand is typically higher across households.

We understand you’ve been making additional payments, and we do appreciate customers who actively manage their accounts. However, maintaining an appropriate Direct Debit is part of ensuring the account remains in line with usage and avoids further debt accumulation.

We’re also concerned to hear your comments regarding your Priority Services registration. Please be assured this is in place to provide additional support, not to cause distress. If you feel this has not been handled appropriately, we are keen to investigate this further.

We would welcome the opportunity to review your account in detail, including billing history and previous concerns you’ve raised, to ensure everything has been applied correctly and to help reach a manageable solution going forward.

I have sent you an email regarding this. If you could please respond at the earliest opportunity, it would be very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Jag.

The online process was poor, telephone service was okay.

The online process to renew/select a new tariff did not work as one would like, so I had to telephone, but once I got through, I was able to do it okay.
