“They are truly shocking and just seem to make things up for fun when you ring them .I was getting estimated bills despite having a smart meter one of which was 900 pounds for a two bedroom flat that I am rarely in.The meter has never worked yet they think its acceptable to fit a smart meter and still make me submit a reading once a month.Turns out they had me on Economy 7 all the time instead of dual fuel.I switched to octopus just to stop the stress”

“So I had made my final bill payment on april and told them to switch my account on april itself and had moved from that property . after 1 month i get a notice on june saying my final bill is £259 something when speaking before i had made my payment on april and shocking thing is when my family wasnt in the property how are we supposed to pay for the bill this is disappointing and i wouldn’t even rate 1 star to this supplier . When switching from edf to scottish they had come over to our place at late evening and convinced to switch at that very moment but biggest regret of all times .”

“Worst company ever, I've spoken to 50+ people over the phone over the past 5 years and 2 have been helpful and done what they said they would do. My complaints escalated to the Financial Ombudsman twice because Scottish Power lied to them, telling them they had completed the 5 remedies set out and in fact they never completed any!! Finally after 5 years I've had to go down another route and getting this sorted, I will be changing providers straight away and would never ever recommend this company. I've been shouted at, lied too, over charged, I'll never understand how they are allowed to operate the way they do.”

“Appalling!!! I have never had the misfortune than with this company! Having charged me an obscene amount I left in March and issued a formal complaint. This process has nearly driven me over the edge and today they say my final bill was incorrect so they want more!!!! I feel physically ill because of them.”

“Completely disingenuine company and customer service was appalling. We spoke to their “customer service” advisors on many occasions and they were largely unhelpful. Two advisors, Melissa and Aphiwe, were frankly rude to us and would refuse to help or to transfer us to other advisors. Wanted to make a complaint internally with the company but they wouldn’t let me over the phone so had to come on here. Can see that others have also had a terrible experience. Stay as far away as you can, save yourself from getting scammed. Absolute scum. Will be contacting the ombudsman and have switched our energy provider.”

“I have been with Scottish power twice. I manage my account on line and found the web site easy to use. The only problem I encountered was setting the Direct Debit at the correct amount . The website was biased to make you pay to much and I was going into unnecessarrily high amounts of credit going into winter. When prices were very high Martin Lewis recommended to stay put on the standard variable tariff so I stayed put until recently , When deals became available I "jumped ship " as soon as the market went back to normal. I think the regulator may have intervened about the large credits on accounts and it did improve. I phoned SP 3 or 4 times to complain about the large credit on my account but found the indian advisers very unhelpful. I managed to run my credit down to just under £200 when I changed supplier and this was reimbursed quite promptly. They were not a bad company..........but talking to the call centre was a negative experience ...... and I am so glad I never had to call them with a more serious problem.”

“Scottish Power are stealing money and it's a fact by assigning people to completely different accounts without informing them. Then they sell them to credit companies as unpaid debt. They added 3 account numbers to my account during the time when I didn't live at this address at all, in one of them I spoilt money all the time and even Bill was the last to go there, and it's visible in the online account. Then they made up a third account for the same time at the same address in my name and sold it to debt collectors as not paid and now 3 years later I find out that my account was sold to debt collectors even though it was paid a long time ago. If you rent a house always ask who the lender is for electricity and gas, if Scottish Power don't take the house until the other lender is changed as you will not walk through the door of the house but you will already owe Scottish Power. I will now go to court, good thing I still have all the evidence.”

“Do NOT use Scottish Power - Their customer services process is appalling. No 1 person owns a complaint and they ignore most of the issues you raise with them. I have been waiting for a 3phase smart meter upgrade to be booked correctly since Feb 2024. I have had 3 different bookings made and they were all WRONG. The people dealing with the calls and emails are utterly useless and this is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I would avoid them like the plague. My complaint is still ongoing, still no smart meter upgrade and no date given as to when they are sorting the problem. worst service ever! I have a full solar install booked in with no bloody smart meter to use. WORST WORST WORST”

“I moved to my new address in May 2023 and immediately informed SP I am responsible for solar panels on the roof here. Thought it would be a simple matter of re-registering a new name / owner at the same address. We are now one year on and still no first payment for the electricity this account generates, although I am now finally registered via an unbelievably over complicated procedure. SP have been sold to a Spanish company. To make this review open up I had to score them a 1 out of 5 but honestly they don't deserve 1. I've had countless telephone calls (gave up emailing as they never respond) and to be fair there are a few live staff who want to try and help but the organisation doesn't support them and they also employ more incompetent customer support staff than competent ones. I tied to make a formal complaint to the CEO whose name and email appears in the website but have not received a reply. They are truly appalling and that's not the fault of the staff but is the fault of management.”
