“British Gas is the world’s worst’s company and should be investigated still in dispute one year later”

“Smart meter only works with electric, gas side doesn't work. Installed 3 years ago and have been on estimated gas bills ever since. They are now coming to change the gas meter which does not register usage tomorrow (ha, ha, ha). Hate to think how much I have overpaid in 3 years and how will they know. I can see a legal case looming.”

“As someone has already stated, this has all the potential for a re run of the Post Office Scandal. I would strongly recommend that people contact their MP and BBC watchdog. This is the only way anything will be done. Their complaints department is not interested in any sensible points you try to make.”

“Booked a gas boiler service online, and although promising with messages during the day that someone was coming, nobody turned up. No more communication and no apology, stayed in all day waiting, complete time wasters!.”

“No heating. Hot water or means to cook. I have a 6 month old baby. Their call centre in South Africa not fit for purpose. Endless calls being cut off and promising an engineer still waiting. And to think I switched to this service is appalling. I’ll be cancelling my service and going with another with better reviews. Disgusting toy company!! How dare they eve use the name “British Gas””

“Avoid at all cost the top up doesn't go through and when it does it takes it all off you (with no errors) over £100 went missing and they are nothing but rude and abrupt when you speak with them. They tell you to top up again and as a disabled person this is very unacceptable. I have £28 in it 8hour later it was gone AGAIN. And they will do nothing to help you to sort it out. Changing provider to someone more reliable. Avoid British gas at all cost people.”

“Awful, awful, awful...elderly dad waited in all day for engineer to install a smart meter which he doesn't even want, only for engineer to cancel at the last minute...this appointment has taken weeks to arrange. I'm so angry I can barely type.. the stress of having to deal with british gas has been awful and it has taken hours upon hours on the phone to arrange the installation and now this has happened..furious.”

“Your service is atrocious. That is the second day i have waited to have a smart meter installed and again you have sent an engineer not qualified to do it. I moved from another company who did this 9 times so I thought BG was sure to be better. Sadly not. I don’t want to speak to someone in South Africa who has not a clue what I’m talking about. As soon as my fixed contract is finished I will be l moving to another provider…not that anyone at BG cares aj jot”

“Booked a one off service for my boiler. Boiler was inspected on 12th September. It was a fairly new Worcester boiler . Passed all checked British Gas sent me the engineers summary with the wrong address on. Of no use whatsoever, as I need it to show give it to the solicitor who is carrying out the conveyance . I have spent over 6 hours on chat bots, customer service advisors in Asia without any hope of correcting the address on the engineers summary report.”

“Absolutely awful customer service . On 2 seperate occasions British Gas have taken a huge payment out of my account despite being on a fixed monthly tarif . £1300 being the last payment they took out of my account and they are unable to help or get this money back for me . I have a family to provide for . Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Will not be using them ever again .”

“Been dealing with BG for 2 years about one issue... Bills too high, they have lied to us on multiple occasions, closed complaints without my permission, hang up on me multiple occasions, transferred me to irrelevant departments on multiple occasions, asked to speak to a manager and keep getting promises that they will call me back and no one ever does. Absolutely useless "company" of you can call them that. Really annoying, so will keep calling them until I get somewhere also raising an ombudsman complaint as well. If I could afford to sue them I would...”
