Friendly and honest sales person

Switch over was a breeze, I am happy with the way things have started. Sales person was very helpful and was honest with me when I raised any concerns, that put me at ease. I am looking forward to starting the switch with them. Thank You.

They representing told me they would…apply for my winter fuel top up

They representing told me they would apply for my warm front benefit as I'm disabled which is 140 pounds a year ....... phoned up today for them to tell me they don't support it so instead off being better off with them I've lost 140 it's about time they stop cold calling customers on your doorstep promising everything will be better when it's not I'm not happy at all

Distressed customer

At the moment I am deeply disappointed and very upset.
I have had a dispute with ESB energy over a £800 Bill for one month.
I am at the moment looking at my smart meter .In the last week I used 72.16 KWH of energy costing £13.95 for tge week .if I times this by 52 it would equal £725 .40 a year.So please resolve this and stop sending demands via conexus.
Life has been very hard for everyone due to covid and having this over ones head makes life very stressful when times are hard enough.

My present account is ending on the 4th…

My present account is ending on the 4th December 2021. They had given a renewal quote which was more than double what I was paying per month..Phoned (Jackie) ESB and explained that I was making huge reductions in the use of gas and would like to continue paying the same monthly bill.No problem,clearly explained,new contract.
