SES Water

The worst utility company I have ever dealt with
This water utility company is utterly incompetent. I have had the misery of five interactions with them to sort out a simple problem, but several months later, I am still receiving incorrect bills. • Briefly, in August We received a bill that was hugely over the usual amount.(£234, rather than around £150). At first, I thought we may have a leak! •I contacted them and they arranged to have the water meter re-read. I examined the meter myself and discovered that it was filled with caked on sand and mud, and had never been read. I cleaned it, and photographed the meter face to reveal an actual consumption of around £160. •Their meter reader concurred with this. The bill should have been £159.96. A call to them confirmed this and we spoke to J...... We spoke to her on three separate occasions. •We eventually received a statement showing both the original incorrect amount PLUS the correct amount. Now the problem was even worse. • We called again, and again speaking to both J, and L. The customer service team (are always friendly, kind and attempt to be as helpful as they can) BUT, the problem that they have is that when they raise this problem with the accounts team, the complaint eventually gets closed down even though the problem has not been addressed. • I eventually wrote a brief outline of the problem to the CEO of SES, and did not even receive a reply. This morning, someone rang me randomly fro SES to say that the bill has been reduced to £89 (approx). • This is still wrong. I have paid the portion of the bill that IS correct, and owe SES zero. Despite this, still no corrected bill. Mr Iain Cain (CEO) is a complete letdown. What a way to run a company! A truly shockingly bad company.
