Phone query Utopia!

The representative who answered my telephone call. Rabia delivered a first class Service, probably the best in my experience.
Took the time to understand my issues and difficulties and recognised that they were a little unusual. In the end she did not finish the call until she was absolutely certain that she had aided me to registering online successfully and understanding what was going on regarding serial numbers, et cetera.

Communication Appalling

We recently had to move house due to our landlord giving us notice so her daughter could move in. It was a very stressful time and a shock. I contacted Yorkshire Water to confirm we had moved out and the date we left the house. I set up a direct debit for the amount we owed thinking it was sorted. Upon this we have received numerous emails, bills and letters asking us to pay when our first payment has already been taken. I feel like we are being treated like criminals and it needs to stop. The bill itself is a drop in the ocean and not worthy of being harrassed like this. Absolutely shocking that the communication is so disjointed. One of the letters stated that they had instructed my bank to take the whole amount! We moved out on the 1st July, it is now the 15th August and we are still receiving communication from them. Appalling service, how can they treat customers like this? It was not our fault we had to leave the property, a little bit of empathy wouldn’t go amiss.

The people I spoke to were very pleasant and the second person I spoke to took time to explain everything simply as it was a little complicated and he has adjusted our Direct debit ensuring we do not get into debt .

Yorkshire Water avoiding responsibility for damage to our garden wall.

Yorkshire Water used a sub contracting tanker company to attend sewage work at neighboring property opposite our property. On leaving the property opposite the tanker whilst manoeuvring has knocked into our drystone garden wall causing partial collapse.
Yorkshire Water will not take responsibility for this. I have been passed from pillar to post for the last 3 months whilst they try to avoid paying for the repairs. Laughably at one point they even denied tanker was in our village despite it evidently was as they also damaged a flag stone in the neighboring property.
Very poor treatment by Yorkshire Water trying to avoid having to take responsibility for damage they clearly caused. What a shame they are a natural monopoly and we have no choice but to continue being their unhappy customer!
