Great Customer service
Not fair to consumers
Increased direct debit by 25% in the summer, when annual consumption was less than predicted in total. I called them and they promised to put me on meter reads rather than fixed DD but this did not happen. Watch out for tariff end date, which could be 18 months after starting, as you can get caught by early exit fee!
Unsatisfactory up to this point
Unsatisfactory up to this point.
Waiting for the correct readings to be applied to the account five months after the account was opened.
Ebico seem unable to transcribe numbers, count and work basic math.
Currently billed for in the region of £200 extra as a result of an initial meter reading that came out of thin air. The correct reading was supplied!
This "made up" meter reading being a value lower than an actual reading almost two months previous!
When contacted, was informed they were unable to change their bill (which is blatantly incorrect) and the operator seemed determined to drag out the call for as long as possible.
For what end the call was dragged out or why the customer would wish to hear about the operators personal dealings with landlords and how they run their own finances was and still is unclear.
Apart from this on-going saga of incompetence, their energy plan is quite competitive (imo) and they have the potential to be one of the leaders in the market.
However the experiences so far leave a lot to be desired.
direct debit instructed not changed
I tried repeatedly to reduce my direct debit to debit to minimum as I was not using any gas but is was ignored. Still paying for gs I am not using
