Promised me a refund of £600 two weeks ago but nothing has appeared in my account. Now no reply to emails. I've cancelled my direct debit and will run it down to nothing before switching. Beware, they are obviously going or gone, broke.

Customer Service is nonexistent. Telephone is not answered. After some time hiding on you get a message saying send an email. A while back they said emails would be answered within 3 days. They blocked my switch to a new supplier without any explanation so I sent an email requesting an explanation. The email response came EIGHT days later! Then after an unacceptable delay I managed to switch. My account with Avro was in credit. I have not had the refund which is now three weeks overdue. My chasing email has not been answered! A truly unacceptable service. Pathetic!

Avro do not respond to e-mails and are uncontactable by phone. Also continue to take direct debits on a closed account.

There should be a zero stars option for these people. The rudest most unprofessional customer service agents I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. I only wish I'd had the forethought to record my conversation with their customer services and put it online for all to hear. Their emails are just as rude as their telephone staff. They deserve to go out of business. They are refusing to repay me my own money and are demanding more money even though I am in credit by over £800 and have arranged to switch suppliers. (due to their refusal to repay me my own money and the staggering rudeness of of their customer services. They do not offer smart meters. Their app is useless and they do not produce statements on time so you don't know where you are with them. Do not touch these people with a barge poll. You have been warned.

Make sure to delete the AVRO direct debit in your bank after switching away from them as they will continue to take money from your bank and never reply to any of your emails. I switched away from them and got a final bill and paid in full, then after a month I checked my bank account and saw another Avro direct debit payment in my account, then I emailed and called them with no answer or reply, finally after a months of several attempts, I called my bank and they refunded the money by claiming it from them. I hope all goes well as it already taken so many hours of my time and pur a lot of stress in my busy life.

Left Avro when we moved abroad at the beginning of July. There is £230 of my hard earned money sitting in my account and I can't access it. I've emailed so many times but no one is answering. I tried to call but gave up after 30 mins waiting. I submitted readings as soon as we left the property. What doesn't make sense is that they pride themselves on being an 'online' company, so how are they unable to respond to emails?

Two months ago, I switched from Avro at the end of my contract, and have a £250 credit on my balance. Contacting them by phone has proved impossible, and when I send emails, they take weeks to respond and, even then, they respond unsatisfactorily. I’m still waiting for MY money to be returned. Avoid!

I left Avro on 19 May, at which point I was £44.80 in credit. Some 12 weeks later I have still not been reimbursed. I sent several emails, but the replies were generally unsatisfactory, 'Andrew' tried to fob me off by copying and pasting standard replies. He initially pretended not to know me, despite my quoting the account number and even sending him a copy of my final statement. No idea when, if ever, they are going to pay me, although they now say that my refund is 'in progress'. Avoid like the plague!

All was good until I switched from Avro to new supplier over 3 months ago. I have £92.68 credit on my account which has not been refunded. No reply to my e-mail to Avro.

Awful customer service, no replies to many emails sent. No returning monies owed when switching providers. Have reported them to energy ombudsman. My advice would be to avoid Avro like the plague.

I have emailed 4 times over the last few months and had no response. No live chat option, so really poor customer service.

It it was possible to give a minus I would. Same trouble as all the other comments. Only way to get a response was to cancel direct debit, then they called within 24 hours to threaten me with all sorts of charges. And they owe me over £400! which they have refused to refund due to breach of T&Cs. Don't let anyone you know use this company.

Trying to switch from Avro but they have declined twice with no communication as to why. I assumed the first time was due to a balance owed so this was paid immediately. Received a second email from new supplier saying they have objected again. Can't get hold of them by phone or online chat. I have sent a formal complaint by email and will escalate further if not dealt with efficiently. Really bad customer service and can't wait to leave - just glad they don't owe me money!

Increased tariff prices steadily with no mention of it. Customer service is terrible. Fitted me with a faulty meter then demanded a payment of nearly £300 for this excess usage of gas in 30 days, on a property that uses mainly electricity, during July. To test the meter would be out of my own wallet, and could take 6 weeks, when I am moving out in 2 weeks! Absolutely awful service, and refuse to assist me in any way.
