“Absolutely appalling service I advise anyone not to change over these I topped up my electric card only for the credit to go to my gas which I didn’t need but needed electric so had to get a loan for my electric as I had no money left to top up again but they then said it was my fault even though they sent me the card numbers not to mention my friend had to pay 55 pound to get her supply back on even though she only had a washer and tele in the property she had just moved in they said she had spent 30 pound in one day when she wasn’t even in the property for 12 hours that day avoid this supplier like the plague.”

“There isn't any customer service at all. On the rare occasions you do get a response, it is total hassle and expense. Usually you get ignored or accused of causing problems. The problems have continued for years and zero is done by the authorities to deal with the concerns of customers and to stop it happening. All the energy companies are a problem - big and small.”

“My mum died and Utilita wanted a copy of documentation of signing mums council property back to the council to get money back my mum was in credit. I have had no such problems with all other companies. (Water,tv licence),they did not want any information like this,what has it got to do with Utilita if my mum owned the house or rented it,she paid the money in to them not the council.I do NOT recommend anyone going with Utilita. I set mum up with the account with Utilita,but what a big mistake I made”

“Took £70 even though my switch didnt go through and still with my last supplier. Told them this left me destitute n I'd just lost my job. Promised a refund considering I've not even signed up. Waited months and they not interested. Fake company needs shutting down”

“Disgusting company..They blocked my attempts to change provider THREE times. Every time I called them the so called customer services, I couldn't believe how rude those people were. Glad to say ombudsman service sorted my problem out. Now I await the written apology and a small compensation cheque. AVOID UTILITA AT ALL COSTS”

“Clowns Been experiencing issues since day 1, waited over 6 months to get the in-home display which also turned out to be a fraud as it doesn't connect to the smart meter. Every time I experienced issues I had to contact them several times to get it resolved, the few times it has been resolved. Lots of trouble, definitely not worth it!”

“I would avoid this company with a barge pole. We were able to eventually switch from utility to a more responsible company, and we are in the process of switching our elderly parents. The usage & bills just never tally.”

“Take my money and tell me the transaction has failed. No top up received on the smart meter/app and then tell me to use the emergency credit! Absolute disgrace of a company! Customer service was useless and kept suggesting I put myself in debt instead of fixing the situation!”

“I have pay as you go meters. Last month I put £30.00 credit on for my electric. The money was taken out of my bank and I got a message saying my top up had been unsuccessful and my money would be refunded. Tried again with £20.00 and it went through. It took them 3 weeks to refund the money. I am beyond fuming today. Put £30.00 in, they took the money and said the same thing as last time. Put a further £20.00 on they said again that the transaction had been unsuccessful and they would refund the money. £50.00 down no electric and can’t speak to anyone because they don’t work on Sundays. Changing suppliers ASAP!!!”

“Really bad customer service Utilita contacted me to arrange my smart meter installation for a month in advance then cancelled three days before on good friday so I couldn’t talk to anyone eventually after 4 days got to talk to somebody...lady on the phone kept talking over me saying no installation today nothing they could do I lost £180 for a day off work for nothing ! They said a manager would ring me !! NO CALL . Don’t bother with Utilita all of the stuff on the internet is true they are useless....”

“One problem is that the smartmeters often don't work properly and so you can't really control your usage and bills. Rather than being 'in control' you are at the mercy of whatever they want to do at their end and readings and bills might well be wrong, or keep changing. It is also very hard to get such problems resolved and they continue for a long time with new twists and turns. You are likely to be blamed, but the problems continue. Communication can be difficult and stressful. I've had this situation for years and I am anxious to find a more reliable supplier.”

“Worse utility company I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter. My bills more than doubled after changing from EDF to utilita. I was conned in to changing suppliers thinking I was getting a much better deal but I definitely wasn’t. They also fitted smets 1 smart meters which they shouldn’t be fitting,they should be smets 2. I know this because I am a gas engineer. They do this on purpose because it makes it harder to change suppliers because they’re old technology and most suppliers can’t support them. I was trying for months to find an energy supplier that could support these old meters and eventually found Shell energy to take over and they are a god send. I’ve had many sleepless nights because of utilita, they’re nothing but con artists and rob you blind. To anyone who is struggling to get away from them try Shell energy they’ve been great.”
