Waiting over 3 weeks for a billing…

Waiting over 3 weeks for a billing compliant that I was told would take 7/10 days, no communication from BG, when I visit the chat I just get fobbed off and fobbed off
like the below today Agent (25/08/2026 2:21:24 PM): Even the responses on Trustpilot BG lie

I'm sorry that you haven't received a response yet, I'll surely check about this for you. Please allow me 4-5 minutes to check this account. I'll be working in another window and I'm still here if you need me in the meantime.

Peter (25/08/2026 2:21:55 PM): I have done three Trustpilot reviews again with a promise publicly we will look into this again NO RESPONSE

Peter (25/08/2026 2:23:49 PM): I sent the last email on 17th August to the customer team and Guess What NO RESPONSE

Agent (25/08/2026 2:26:53 PM): Thanks for waiting and sorry for the delay in processing the request and keep you waiting for a longer time.

Agent (25/08/2026 2:27:27 PM): I confirm that the complaint is open and the case handler is still working on the case. An email was sent on 15 Aug 2026 and 17 Aug 2026

Agent (25/08/2026 2:27:39 PM): Have you not received this?

Peter (25/08/2026 2:28:42 PM): Yes but it's now 25th August i was told it would take 10 days at most it's now 22 days since I raised the compliant on August 3rd

Peter (25/08/2026 2:28:59 PM): This is poor customer service

Peter (25/08/2026 2:29:53 PM): If I owed BG Money you wouldn't accept silence for 22 days and emails stating I'm looking into this

Agent (25/08/2026 2:31:13 PM): I'm sorry Peter. I've nwo added this to the complaint notes to contact you at the earliest. Please be assured the case handler will contact you soon.

Peter (25/08/2026 2:31:44 PM): Why should I beleive you I have been lied and lied to weekly

Agent (25/08/2026 2:33:59 PM): I'm sorry Peter. I understand that you had a bad experience earlier. But request to trust you on this to make this better. This is a documented chat. So I cant lie. The complaint is still open with the specialist team working on this and this will remain open until you're happy that all issues have been fully resolved.

Peter (25/08/2026 2:34:36 PM): What is taking so long

Agent (25/08/2026 2:37:13 PM): The case handler had raised the issue with the specialist team. So the team investigates and checks the energy account regarding the bills. So it takes time. Bit please be assured, the case handler is handling this on priority.

Boiler failed after 4.5 months

I purchased a house back in February 2026 and it had a very old boiler, so wanting reliability I thought I would get British Gas to come out and quote for a replacement. The engineer turned up promptly and checked everything over and we went ahead with the new boiler install. It was a like for like swap. The engineer came out and fitted it and it worked flawlessly until now. The boiler showed an error code and no hot water. Tried the remote chat with British Gas and all they wanted to do was sell me an extra insurance policy. They didn't even want to look at a faulty boiler that was only 4.5 months old. Called them instead which was a lot easier and they sent an engineer out. Recieved a call later to say that the engineers van had broken down and they weren't coming until the next day. The engineer turned up promptly the next day and reset the boiler and had a look at the pipework - the same pipework the sales engineer and boiler engineer had looked at and never said anything about, and then told me the pipework was all wrong.

They sent me a quote for remedial work which I accepted and booked in. Circumstances change and I called the day after booking it to change the booking date, which the lady on the phone did for me. Unfortunately the boiler only ran for about 25 minutes after the engineer left.

Fast forward to today the fitting date and I called British Gas to confirm the appointment, which they did and they reassured me the engineer would be on site to carry out the repairs between 08:00 and 12:00. It got to 13:00 and I called British Gas again to find out how long the engineer would be, only too be told that the booking hadn't been moved correctly and had only been changed on one of their systems and not the one that assigns the work.

So I wasted a days worth of annual leave from work waiting in for an appointment that will never happen and now have to take a second day off for the original appointment.

The real annoyance for me is two British Gas 'engineers' looked at the heating system and never mentioned any problems with it at all. Now one says it's wrong. Who should I believe? That coupled with a 4.5 month old boiler that has broken down and isn't working, or it isn't producing hot water. Luckily I have an immersion heater which will give me hot water albeit at a lot higher cost, but really? Should I expect it to fail after only a few months worth of use? Which engineer is telling the truth over whether the pipework is correct or not?

Frustrated and annoyed is an understatement. I wish I had never used British Gas and had gone with a locally recommended installer.

Reply from British Gas

I am truly sorry to hear about the incredibly frustrating experience you've had with your new boiler and the subsequent service issues. It's clear that the problems you've encountered, from the conflicting information about your pipework to the missed appointment and the boiler breakdown, are completely unacceptable. We understand how disappointing this must have been, and we truly regret the inconvenience and stress caused. We'd appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further. If you'd like to discuss this further, please send a PM on Facebook using https://m.me/britishgas & include #Trustpilot, include your full name, address & DoB. One of my colleagues will get back to you. If you don't have access to do this, you can use the webchat option via the website or app. Thanks, Sukhi
