Mark the excellent Rep

I received a statement showing I owed over £2000. I knew a mistake had been made. My last statement showed a £100 credit. I spoke with Stephen with a Scottish accent, his promised 11am callback did not happen. After 3pm I called and spoke with Mark, what a helpful patient chap who got to the bottom of the problem and resolved. I am embarrassed to say I did raise my voice I did apologise.

Review/feedback requests...

This was not a chat, but an email exchange.
My email was dealt with quickly and efficiently by customer services. However, the request for feedback/writing a review came far to quickly. It is not possible to write a review when action/s that were promised are not yet fulfilled!
Action has now been completed - the cheque for a refund was received yesterday - so I am now able to send a review.
Thank you.

PAYG electric meter…

I called re my PAYG electric meter 'crashing' after new cables were installed to my house.
No one could answer what the fault could be to the meter, but were more concerned in telling me many times I have to get a smart meter installed, but the date they gave me is in six days time, what happens if I run out of electricity in that time?

The staff are always helpful

The staff are always helpful, the problem is getting through to them in the first place. It is really frustrating listening to the belly recordings.If customers phone, it is obvious they want to talk to a member of your staff.

I received a first class service.

I received a first class service.
I had a question about early exit fees from my existing supplier and I required boiler care.
Both questions were answered quickly and efficiently.
The early exit fees didn't apply as it was close to the end of my existing contract.
Scottish Power offered a better boiler care price with a guarantee that an engineer would fix my boiler the following day.
Thank you!

Never had any problems or issues with anything

Never had any problems or issues with my smart meter.
As I'm on a pre pay tariff the Scottish power app makes it easy to top up at any time anywhere and after top up the new balance is displayed almost immediately.
I can also check my balance as well.
All in all great service 👍
