Further to previous review on the 9th July. I received a call from Nancy who is a manager, she looked over case and asked for 5 days to sort it but Nancy never returned. Did a few more chats with Abongile the complaint handler who transferred a phone call last Thursday to Junaid who is another manager but again no progress. I then got an email on Friday night to say someone will call on Monday. Didn’t happen. So I emailed Abongile today, she asked if it would be ok for someone to call today , I said yes. She then emailed to ask would it be ok to wait until tomorrow, I said no. Abongile has finally called and put her manager on. I told him I was recording the call. He said he was Jay from Scottish Power in South Africa and that there was no resolution as of yet. I said I will stay on the call as I have had enough and I am not prepared to wait any longer. He said I need to wait. He said if he needed an ID card from The Embassy then he would also need to wait. Don’t see where he gets that comparison from. I repeated several times that I will wait on the call, he said I would be wasting my time and said la la la la then hung up.

Scottish power have tortured me for over 3 years trying to get me to pay money I do not owe. Finally the ombudsman has decided in my favour again! This is the second time I have had to go to the ombudsman regarding Scottish power. This is by far the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. The operate like a mafia who think they can do what they want but I was not standing for it! DO NOT USE SCOTTISH POWER! I still don’t have any hope whatsoever of this being resolved as they didn’t listen to the first ruling by the ombudsman and continued to harass me for money I do not owe. They estimate your bills then threaten to take you to court when you dispute it. They are all scumbags. A sweet victory against a utilities cartel
