Perfect experience

Answered the call with an English accent which really helped the conversation and the way that my issue was resolved. Very rare these days but so valuable to an English speaker. Customer service was very friendly. I was happy from start to finish as I could understand all that was said to me and the advice I received was very helpful. Good old style customer service. I left the call feeling happy. Very highly recommended.

Brilliant service today from Yorkshire Water billing. No long wait on the phone. A cheerful gentleman who listened carefully and dealt with my issue quickly. My bill was reassessed to take into consideration a leak earlier in the year. Thankyou so much

Payment Problem

Had a great experience today as had a problem with my account. After listening, which is very important, a resolution plan was put into place and that alone was great. Listening to your customers and resolving queries is vital. I had great Customer Service and my problem was resolved. The operative Tony was great, he offered alternative payment methods and then when we agreed on this he put it into play resolving all problems and he was courteous, friendly and helpful. Great Customer Service.

Massive inflation

£255 for 4 months water . When I lived in Leeds 3 years ago I used to pay £30-£40 a month . How is it now around £64 a month ? Isn’t inflation meant to be 3% a year which would make 3 years 9% more and 9 percent of the max £40 I was using is £3.60 not £24. And before you ask no I don’t have any leaks or use it any different to how I used to

Poorly edited communications

I’ve had a smart meter fitted. The accompanying leaflet gives water saving tips. Including “scrap your plates”. Whilst throwing away plates would certainly save water, I’m not sure it helps other environmental causes. I’d be interested to know how money Yorkshire Water spent/wasted on these leaflets!

A phone conversation

A phone conversation with a representative who was friendly, helpful. Professional and knowledgeable. I really needed advice about my bill. I now feel able to act on his advice, and have a much better understanding. Thank you Yorkshire water.
