I'm very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with your appointment and the lack of communication. It's truly disappointing when an engineer doesn't show up and you don't receive an explanation. I understand your frustration with the online chat not providing a response from management. We’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further Ken.

No hot water

No hot water, the engineer came the next day and inspected the boiler and the circuit board was shot at. Andy, the engineer rang round his colleagues to see if anyone had one in their vehicles. He then did a round trip to pick it up. I was so grateful he made sure I had hot water once again. Was very polite and took away any rubbish.

Where do i start UNDERHANDED thieving…

Where do i start UNDERHANDED thieving company. For people on benefits this company need to make things crystal clear. They say we can help with your bills / for instance i was told i would pay £49 per month, i have a smart meter now which lets you know what you owe and its not £49 its £79 so while your direct debit is paying £49 the account is accumulating an extra £30 per month in the background. So obviously there is now exyra to pay but lets not forget the threatening bailiffs letter in the mean time adding on their fees. So not only are they unclear as to your total cost when signing up, if you are on benefits please dont fall for the old guff about we can help reduce your bills, its crap British Gas are no better than loan sharks, its ok for them to give their CEO'S million pound raises and post profits of Billions no wonder they can do this when ripping off the general population

I am truly sorry to hear about the incredibly frustrating experience you've had with your billing and the financial stress it has caused. It's clear there's been a significant misunderstanding regarding your payments and account balance, and I sincerely apologize for the distress this has caused, especially with the added worry of collection letters. We’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further Gary.
