“Can't get help on your App, that doesn't work and hasn't been updated since February. Had to go to main Web page to get on to the chat room, it's frustrating that you can't get hold of anyone or are kept waiting soo long you give up. Today I was number 288 in the queue.”

“We have been trying by phone to contact British Gas for two days, we have tried every option ( numerous numbers on the key pad) they all end with the recorded message saying they can’t help with our request!! How frustrating we have moved house and want to register as new owners, I have decided not to pay my Gas Bills then I’m sure you will be keener to have a chit chat.”

“I have not received my warm home discount voucher again this has happened to me every year for the past 3 years and I don’t receive it till around June which is unacceptable I have rang British Gas and I’ve been told I have to wait until it comes I have asked when that will be i have been told a few months I can not wait a few months as I have children in the property and I have health conditions the cut of date is March the 31st so why do I have to wait till a few more months customer services is terrible I’m still waiting from a manager to calm me back that was two weeks ago I feel I have just been left with no help wat so ever. If a manager or someone can call me to help me with this situation I’d be happy.”

“Terrible company, apart from doubling the rates and charging extortionate costs for standing charges they hang up on you after a 45 min wait on the phone as if you never dialled.”

“Transferred from PE last year, my first bill was outrageously high and did not resemble my readings at all. Called and suddenly my bill looked right but since 16/02 not been able to see my usage!!! For god sake how long can it take to put it right...I personally think they are being underhanded and come April our usage is going to suddenly appear and be false. Thank god I'm able to build up a credit balance. Won't be staying!!”

“Absolutely shocking beyond belief my honest opinion just got off the phone with British gas arranged for a engineer to come out PPE some one needs to explain to him what PPE is. Took out a 12 months maintenance warranty and paid for the service the fitter took 1 look at the boiler and announced sorry but we don't deal with these boilers I'll cancel your contract.he could not get out of the door fast enough and left a disabled woman sitting in a mobile home with no hot water or heating heartless beyond belief if you can deal with any other company so”

“Shocking customer service. Still can't get account readings. Followed all ways to contact them. They give you a different way to contact them and fob you off. Quick to take you're money but won't help you. Had nothing but trouble since January. All you get is working from home contact this and no reply. I'm disgusted in the service get the call centres in the the uk and get to work. I'm fortunate im currently not vulnerable but what about all them that are. You don't care your not bothered and all you want is our money pathetic contact me and get this sorted.”

“My company switched me to BG as mine went bust! They made up a random first reading that was way less than my last one to my old company and sent me an extortionate bill. If I try to message there’s no advisors if I ring I’m 113 in line. When I get through they pass me from pillow to post. No one knows what they are talking about…. Absolute garbage”

“Supply took over by British gas after collapse of People's Energy September 21. Expected teething problems but have never known anything like it...... Welcome don't do anything we will take over your DD....you don't have to do anything. Err Nothing 2 months later. Made emergency voluntary payment after 2 months at Xmas knowing debt only builds........till my first DD kicked in January....based on????? Rang to ask what, when,where am I up to what is my monthly average what is my true balance so I can educated guess my payments.........as by January had only received a no sense no correct info bill and another not due till April!!!!! Asked for monthly bill in meantime so can follow....don't do only quarterly (more potential underpayment time) Answer don't worry if you owe we will bill you in April....a fortune of debt of course....if I had not acted...... The app is as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Despite monthly uploading of my readings you don't get any real time balance....whilst guessing where are you up to.......especially as a new customer now in a different payment deal than before with clear online balance/usage at all times.......am now in a secret one. The direct debit app advice randomly goes up and down with no clue where the figure comes from......as yet no 2nd bill to compare to the 1st... No clue if it true usage or includes previous credit now transfered to my account....all part of the secret. And all this before the massive increases to come. All I want is accurate regular information I can monitor so I can keep up to date with my payments...... I have had resorted to paying extra money on account ready for the suprise catch up bill in April..... Am sure many people will not have done and will get more than a shock when after 6 months after takeover they finally see their true balance......just before it shoots up again. Have no problem taking on responsibility paying without being asked as common sense tells me the buck will land on my toes when it all becomes clear... But 6 months of nothing accurate to guess on or no information due to quarterly billing....when bill one was not up to date and bill 2 not even landed yet..... Need a crystal ball..... And an advisor who I can understand a word of ....and had no answers to the most basic questions part from oh don't worry April bill will have caught up. Thanks...... that be 6 months after takeover before have slightest clue.....”

“The service My elderly mother has received the last few months since she moved house has been appalling. Countless errors and poor customer service has been unbelievable They still haven't answered my complaint. The latest installment is that she received a awful demand at her previous house to the occupier. Well 'British' gas have been told her new address and she has a dd set up. Not to worry they said. USELESS”

“As a landlord dealing with empty properties I cannot express how unprofessional and totally useless British Gas are. Their agents need better training and some need to have a better level of English. I have no control over who my tenants use as their suppliers but from now on I will strongly recommend they use anyone apart from British Gas!!!”

“Feel like I’m repeatedly going over the same thing over and over again.Having had cupboards removed and flus looked at I can’t pay 10 percent of the cost until engineer makes sure there is now enough room.I can’t leave a boiler sitting my flat for a wile before it’s fitted as flat small and don’t want to break anything.”

“The most painful company to deal with, my mothers account was transferred from Bristol Energy when they went bust and trying to get a correct bill is unbelievable, customer services don't understand what you want and struggle to understand. To be upon only from 9-5 on a weekday is unreal in this day and age especially when its an Indian call centre. They have sent an estimated yearly usage which is over 2 times what they originally predicted and twice as much as my mothers previous supplier. Painful to try and deal with”

“Terrible app and terrible website, zero customer service and you have to wait up to an hour for that. Everything they do is designed to keep the customer at arms length, maximise profits and provide the customer with no value for money. They absolutely do not care unless you're buying a new boiler with them.”

“British Gas need to give their staff appropriate training. Most of the time they dont know what they talking about. So sometimes had to hanged up then redial. They promise to call you but they never call you back. Someone I spoke have changed my bill date when I asked for something else and I didnt even have enough money on my account!!!! I have booked 3 appointment for the smart meter and each time I took a time off but No one turn up . They said I will get £90 compensation and am still waiting. Sick of it!! Am definitely leaving British Gas”
