"This is my second review on this…"

This is my second review on this company, please save your sanity and money, do not have them as your energy supplier.

Over a year since I highlighted my meter issue and 9 months since the Ombudsman ruled in my favour and still the issue isn't resolved, little to no contact with BE and no resolution in sight. Do yourself a favour and stay away from these charlatans.

"Increased D/D taking into account past…"

Increased D/D taking into account past usage but without taking account of the balance monies that I had in my account or the fact that usage was higher due to lock down and therefore being at home far more than normal. Despite querying with them they failed to amend, unlikely I will renew again.

"Poor Customer Support"

Started on a 2 year contract, which was good to begin with but the Customer support steadily declined. Supposed to have smart meters fitted, they managed one, didn't show for the other. Then when I queried an invoice told me I had no smart meters fitted (I sent them a picture of the one they managed to fit)
The BE app started to become unresponsive, not always displaying correct information. Constantly in credit, but direct debit only reviewed once until I demanded a refund (then told maybe I should increase my direct debit ... So you could hold more of my cash ??)
Final straw was trying to obtain a final invoice. Overbilled horrendously, called ... No return call. Emailed repeatedly.....no return Email to discuss my concerns. However plenty of Emails and texts demanding I pay the final invoice.
Finally I managed to get hold of someone who didn't fob me off and explained the situation. Surprise, Surprise ... The invoice was wrong and they owe me money. System error apparently. Months of frustration, you decide if it's worth the hassle !

"6 weeks to answer a quiery!"

Non existent customer service. On their website says it could take 10 working days to answer a quiery (and in their autmatic email response too). Now I submitted a form on their website on 1st April (no joke) then waited for a month. So I sent am emil to their customer services on 2nd May thinking they have to answer within 2 weeks. As of yesterday 15th May received a reply which says "yes of course please call us back or submit your meter reading and will see what we can do."
But when I checked they replied back to my first enquiery on 1st April! 6 WEEKS to answer with zero solution to my issue!!!! So the issue is still there, charging twice as our monthly usage so we are now in £325 credit and it will go on and on and on until I will switch to another supplier than they have to refund me I guess...
UPDATE: on 26/5 had a reply that they will issue a refund in 10 working days (or in 2 weeks if you like), well it's been 16 days ago and still no refund...
UPDATE 16/6: still no refund after promised on 26/5 so I opened a case at Energy Ombudsman, I'm done with them. It's been 11 WEEKS since I contacted them to get our direct debit changed and get refund...
UPDATE 19/6: finally received a check via post from Bristol Energy.

"Terrible customer service"

I approached Bristol energy 2 months ago regarding the fitting of a three phase meter and initially everything seemed fine. But 2 months later I have had no information as to when this might happen or even when someone might come back to me. After being frustrated trying to contact on both email and the phone I contacted on social media and was asked to be patient. I really need to know how much longer I need to wait! The response to this complaint is again be patient with no indication of timescales or service standards. Still no closer to knowing when I will have any concrete information.

"I left a message on Bristol Energy…"

I left a message on Bristol Energy answering service 8 days ago and was advised someone would call me back to discuss my current tariff. I have received no call to date, yesterday I left another message asking for someone to call me back and I have not received a call. This is very poor customer service.

"Customer service currently letting you down"

Customer service is letting you down at the moment. Been a customer for a few years now and simple requests, i.e. for direct debit payment amendments, are now falling on deaf ears, causing me to fall behind on by overall bills. Sort this and 4/5 stars should be achievable, as most other contact and responses have been OK otherwise.

"Although I renewed my contract with you…"

Although I renewed my contract with you for gas @ electricity for a further two years,I noticed quite a large increase in the gas costs. I will be checking gas @ electricity prices being charged by your competitors during this period and will expect you to lower your charges in order to compete. I am aware that there are no leaving costs but hope that this position does not arise,as Ilike your ability to reply to my queries quickly and as a retired chartered accountant I like your invoice presentations which are easy to understand.
