New Customer / Recent Switcher …

I've only recently switched from SSE to Bord Gais. My initial impression is this is a totally digital customer service experience, which is not always helpful. I've submitted readings which aren't appearing on my online account and I'd like to estimate my upcoming bill. That is why my initial review is a 3. Other than that the money back offer and the lower rates enticed me to switch. Let's see how this goes for the next 12 months.

OBVIOUSLY NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OTHER TEAMS

Have been trying since January to get a bill issued reflecting the amount due.
I informed them back in January that they undercharged us.
They have the cheek to write regarding the "amount due".
And to top it all off they called my sister this morning on her business phone and wouldn't say how they had the number.

I am a volnerable customer

I am a volnerable customer, disabled with a traumatic brain injury, never get a human on the phone, longest recording telling me ALL the ways they want you to deal with your own issue using automated systems, or wait 10/20/30 minutes on hold if you do get through, I contacted them about an issue via email and phone on January 24th, received an email 2 weeks later telling me someone would be in touch. NOTHING
I called over and over, "let me put you through to the relevant departmen" call drops every single time, calling doesn't work, they keep telling me to wait for an email response, yet no response ever comes, I have been waiting now for 3 months for a response from Bord Gais energy.
AVOID Bord Gais at ALL cost, run for the hills
Appauling non service and for a registered volnerable customer

Taking customers for granted

I have been a Bord Gais customer for 9 years. My initial 12-month contract ended and I received no notification of this EVER. My bills were never cheap but now that I am home all day, my latest bill was huge. I called Bord Gais ready to change electric provider. Only now that I complained was I offered a 32% discount through a contract. The representative I talked with opened a complaint for me and I sent a message myself via their website but got no response. Bord Gais has taken me for granted as a customer for 9 years... I could have saved thousands of euros on electricity had I been notified of my contract expiry date.
