Constantly having to chase up a good…

Constantly having to chase up a good will payment for not giving me my refund that I was due. I've made six telephone calls and web chats and spent hours chasing this up. In the end I had to write a physical letter to the complaint department. The complaint department have basically fobbed me off just like all the other advisors I've spoken to . Just to complain in writing cost me nearly 10 pound in photocopying and postage. Zero apologies and absolutely no faith and that I will ever get this money .

British case boiler service.

The engineer advised on replacing my nest with the Hive, which was done on this visit. He was very thorough and gave plenty of advice and help. The whole visit was a pleasure.

5 star rating for today’s visiting engineer…

5 star rating for today’s visiting engineer. British Gas need to recognise the good engineers they have. I’ve had my home service for at least 15 years now and had my ups and downs with the service provided. If a true, British Gas trained engineer comes out then the service is outstanding! When they use some unknown local contractor, the service is not good. My recent service engineer is the reason I will renew my policy for another year. 5* for Toby, the British Gas apprenticeship trained engineer!!!

AWFUL

AWFUL!

British Gas were automatically used when I moved into my first property, every month I pay via direct debit . And now all of a sudden in £100+ debt, when asked how this has happened I was told they don’t receive my meter reading and it’s a problem on there end, I was never informed about this, nor informed they would be charging me extra in my monthly direct debits, asked for a pay as you go last year and had no answer, only to find out they didn’t accept me because of the meter reading issue- again there issue not mine.
I called up and no one could explain to me properly why I was being over charged and in debt. WORST SERVICE EVER. I will be changing providers. Rude and money grabbing people.

British gas are a scam i wasnt living in property and still had to pay large amouts of money to their estimated bill. I was owed over 300 when i closed my account down and only got 193. They try their best to squeeze more money out of you. Please choose an alternative company and not use these scammers
