“Never sign up with this company, I got landed with the as my tenant signed up to them unknown to me. Upon taking possession of the property back I realised that I had been paying off the tenants debt as Utility hadn’t cleared it or correctly set up a new account. I tried to resolve this but 9 telephone calls all over 40 minutes long it’s still not sorted. Utilita keep changing their requirements from me to set up the account and repay the overpayments I’ve made, they initially asked for the Land Registry documents Title Deeds for the property to prove I was the owner. After getting these from Land Registry and submitting to Utilita they said they were not the official documents despite these coming directly from Land Registry Scotland, Utilita then demanded a solicitors verified letter stating I was owner. I have owned the property for around 20 years and managed hundreds of properties through my career and have never been requested to submit documents like this to utility companies. Utilita are a disgrace and should be investigated by the relevant authority for illegal charging and refusal to reimburse. If this review stop one customer signing up to Utilita great, hopefully hundreds will read this and go elsewhere. If they were offering free gas and electricity I would still find another supplier. CUSTOMERS BEWARE”

“Firstly luckily for me I have changed electric provider because you were over charging for my electric since I have changed I use the same amount of electricity and I'm being charged half the amount you was taking fro my day as you go customer so I really think you owe me money but your a rip of company and hopefully people will not apply to you for energy”

“Money has been taken out of my bank account , and your customer services man called Colin ( wouldn’t give his last name) had no idea how to help me , and wouldn’t put me through to either his supervisor or fraud department. I am appalled by the service you provide .”

“I went through the hiring process for a position as a software engineer. The steps were very smooth, and they were very accommodating. One of the first questions in the interview was, "Do you need any adjustments?" I was genuinely happy as a wheelchair user that the company truly cares about equal opportunities among their candidates. After receiving the job offer, they were more than willing to accommodate my needs as a wheelchair user. I believe we need more companies like Utilita that care a lot about equality.”

“Miss leading salesman. Insisted on speaking to me when my career told them I was having a bad day. When I got to the door rep stated he was here to upgrade my Smart meter as I am on the British gas frist roll out from years ago. Fast talking got his foot in the door as I thought he was here on behalf of British gas to upgrade my meter. Started confusing me with a load of information while tapping through my meter stating the upgrade will give me a cheaper tariff, that I was a good customer and would I except an upgrade for cheaper energy plus no service charge. Before I know it the company phoning me asking fast questions with him prompting me to say yes or no to the questions as I'm hard of hearing, disabled and fully loaded to the eye balls on pain killers. Woke up this morning with a clear head land functions to see the Utilita booklet and realising what I had done or gotten myself into. Seven hours trying to get through to a person to cancel this as supposedly there is a fourteen day cooling off period yet written on this booklet there's a date for seven days time. Goodness knows what that's for!! Have even sent an email to try and cancel this. You can not get hold of anyone. So leaves me no choice but to contact British gas to block this transfer.”

“Some of the worst customer experience I’ve had. On hold for a lifetime with the same automated message going around and around which suggests using their ‘community forum’ where Utilita customers sort out each others problems. Surely some of extortionate amount they charge could go to a service where we don’t have to sort each others issues out? Hours with the same message over and over, I’ve been cut off twice after waiting nearly an hour each time. I’d imagine that the people working in customer service for Utilita must get treated so badly by customers that did manage to get through out of sheer frustration. I’ve got a young daughter and partner at home cold every night and I can’t even get through!”

“18 Dec 2023 So I asked for a replacement in home… So I asked for a replacement in home smart display unit as my old one I had when I signed up with when going back along time now. Had accidentally been damaged.They sent me there new geo one. So plugged it in connected to Internet and it comes up not commissioned. Phoned up numerous times. They says it's not yet compatible with my main gas and electric meter then they Says they need to update it so its compatible on the DCC network grid. I've given up why send new second generation smart meter when you can't even connect to it. They then says don't know how long it will be just use the app. But the app does not always update. So whatever you do I repeat do not get a geo second generation smart meter as there still not sorted the connection issues with them.”

“Terrible company to deal with. They do not return POA documentation that they requested and fail to acknowledge or reply to complaints requesting their return. Avoid and save yourself the hassle there are other energy suppliers who care about their customers”

“Misleading salesman I had a guy call at my house today and tell me he was here to read the electric meter. I asked about the gas and he said they were not reading those at the moment because of Christmas which I thought was strange. I stupidly let him look at my electric meter which is just behind the door and it became obvious he was not reading it. He then asked who my current supplier was and I said you should have that info on your tablet. He said he didn’t as he was only reading the meter. When I told him my supplier he then started to go into a sales pitch. I stopped him and said I just realised he is Utilita, a supplier. He said yes. I said you have entered my home under false pretences and lied to me. He said I’m not selling anything. I got his name and have reported to Utilita as I feel I was being misled. If I was a little less switched on, and believe me I already feel stupid allowing him to get that far, he could have totally ripped me off. Utilita have still not responded so I will go to the ombudsman and maybe watchdog. A dodgy way to sign up new customers Utilita and this needs stopping right away.”

“A pointless chat service. I asked one simple question and then had to listen to nothing but a thousand questions which led to nowhere. They're honestly useless and shouldn't hold a job.”
