Trying to pay a bill I don't dispute owing — and being made to fail at it.

I bought a property in Bedford in late 2024. Since August 2025 I have asked British Gas, repeatedly and in writing, for one accurate electricity bill so I can pay what I owe. A year on, I still don't have one.

Instead: four different account numbers for a single supply at a single property; three different balances quoted within three weeks, none matching; a switch to a new supplier blocked since July 2025 with no reason ever given; bills still addressed to "The Occupier" after I was told the account had been put in my name; and the account passed to a debt collection agency while all of this remains unresolved.

I am not refusing to pay. I have offered to pay from the outset. I simply cannot get a correct, consistent bill out of British Gas. A formal complaint is now logged.

Happy to provide details privately if someone able to actually resolve this gets in touch.

Poor customer service from British Gas

At the beginning of July I requested a boiler repair through the British Gas Home Care service. On the first engineer visit I was advised that my boiler required a Power Flush at the cost of £925. I booked this job in unaware that British Gas had subcontracted this job to Dyno-Rod. There were issues between Dyn-Rod and British Gas with their booking system which meant that I was messed around with my appointments. The Power Flush job was not done properly and the engineer had to return, I had to chase for that to be done when he did not turn up. Dyno-Rod do not quality assure their jobs properly. I had to have EIGHT engineer visits in total to fix this boiler due to incompetence from British Gas. Parts were not ordered on visits, incorrect items were then received. This was a complete nightmare. I had to keep taking days off work to wait in for engineers. Even on the seventh visit the engineer told me the boiler was fixed but only the hot water was working so I had to call him back. He then arranged an eight visit to finish off the repair. Now British Gas have had the audacity to send me an invoice for £120. I am gob smacked. This story is too long to tell in detail. I have left several messages and sent emails to the person dealing with my complaint but haven't heard anything since I tried yesterday. This is the worst customer experience that I have ever received from such a large organisation.

Hi Cynthia, this is really disappointing to read. I'm so sorry about the catalogue of errors, with the number of appointments, lack of communication and mix up with parts. This falls very short of the level of service we aim for or that you should expect from us. If you'd like me and my team to check on your complaint, please contact us. You can do this by sending a private message via Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram. If you include #Trustpilot and a brief summary of your review, we will get back to you there. Thanks, Mel
