Switching company email to say British…

Switching company email to say British Gas will save me money. They quote me a higher price than what I now pay. I get a ring on my doorbell from a couple of young females who tell me they can save me money by me switching to British Gas, When I get the rates from them, they are more expensive. Today I am in town and British Gas have a stall there. I am waiting to meet my wife and am approached by a man representing who asks if I pay for gas and electric. I tell him I do but they British Gas are more expensive so I would be stupid to switch. I am not stupid! Moral of the story. Do not believe British Gas!

Unauthorised transfer to British Gas ... what's going on!

I would normally keep such things between the energy supplier and me but since British Gas have asked me to leave a review they have provoked me. My account has been transferred from OVO Energy to British Gas by an "erroneous transfer". What that actually means is that I have been forcibly transferred against my will with no input from me whatsoever due to some kind of error. Representatives of both energy suppliers are very sympathetic on the phone but the fact remains they haven't been able to sort out this complete mess and transfer me back to my old account. They hide behind the process to avoid responsibility for what they have done and have the cheek to say that I have a 14 day cooling off period. They also tell me that it could take up to 12 weeks to transfer me back. In reality what that probably really means is that they have 12 weeks to do it by law. The two things are not the same. Lastly, there is something called Data Protection (GDPR). Under GDPR, to the best of my knowledge you can't blame the computer system for a mistake. So how have you got my details British Gas? It's certainly not from me. If I could give a Zero I would but 1 is the lower score I am permitted to give.

I couldn’t get on to the website as l couldn’t get passed the I’m not a robot screen, so had to phone. After several option questions l was put through to an agent who l found it very hard to understand. After quite some time l was cut off. I had to phone again and after several minutes l was put through to an agent. She answered my query but l will have to call again to sort out my tariff

British Gas Remains The Best

I was coerced into leaving Britsh Gas for Octopus Energy by Money Supermarket review of getting a cheaper deal. I was with Octopus for few months before realsing that Octopus is all glitters, little gold. I am now back with British Gas, happier than ever. Good deals, clear accounting and trained staffs who know their stuff. I couldn't ask for more.

Utterly appalling

It cannot be overstated how poor British Gas. Their customer service could not be worse... it really is mind boggling just how frustrating and incompetent it is. It has taken me over 10 months to try and resolve a really simple issue which is still unresolved. When I last posted a review on here the team reached out to me to apologise and asked me to DM them on X to get it resolved. I did that and had some initial contact but then British Gas reverted to type and just stopped responding to any communication and simply don't address or resolve the issue. They have now stopped responding on X as well. I really cannot believe how bad they are. I am DESPERATE to switch energy provider but they have also put a block on me doing so so I feel like I'm trapped in an absolute nightmare with them. I would never EVER use British Gas out of choice. Avoid or switch while you can!!!

BG maintenance visit

I have a maintenance contract with British Gas, and an engineer recently visited to service our gas boiler and central heating system. It was a good visit, he was very professional and caring. I couldn't fault anything about his visit. Plus it was easy to arrange for his visit using the BG app.

Engineer was very friendly and helpful.

Engineer was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately he was only able to change the electric meter so I suppose our gas meter will be changed at a later date. However, out monitor is still not working.
