Charged me nearly £70 when I moved. Was with them at my old address so why should I have to pay so much just to change address??

Very expensive for water

Very expensive for water. Been told twice that I cannot have a meter but have reports from neighbours that they have them, neighbours are on the same type of connection. So at best affinity water have changed the rules but not informed house holders.

Water pressure fluctuates, supply is overly chlorinated

Water pressure fluctuates.
Since supply has changed to Bedfordshire water stinks of chlorine that we have had to fit a carbon filter to the incoming supply.

CANNOT READ THEIR OWN METER

This company employs people who are NOT trained to even read the meter correctly! that's their bread and butter and they cant do that! nor apologize for the fact but just casually tell us when we wasted time to stay in all day for one of their engineers to attend to see if there was a leak. He was very nice and advised that no leak found, so we called the office, one of the office personnel casually mentions our bill must be high because the previous engineer read the bill 'upside down' and that was that..... Amazing incompetence

Yet another awful customer service…

I cannot believe that you have had the gaul to phone me again just now!!
How dare you!
Which bit of - I'm in hospital do you not understand!!!
I've told you that I'll sort it out over the weekend!!
Do not phone me again - utterly disgraceful!
Yet another awful customer service experience with you!
I had a call a couple of hours ago - picked it up and I said - I know that I need to pay you - but I'm currently in hospital.
I just need to tell you..: I interrupted her and said - you don't need to tell me anything now - I've just told you that I'm in hospital and I have a tube down my throat..
Again she said - I just need to tell you...
I put down the phone!
Rude thoughtless and insensitive!

I have been trying to gain a waste…

Update Affinity Water said they would reach out but of course have not! Terrible service absolutely appalling. No customer service whatsoever. Do not deal with this company unless you have no choice

Their portal is next to useless

Their portal is next to useless.
They don't provide an email address, which in this day and age is simply unheard of.
I used their portal to open an account and provide a forwarding address but have not heard back from them.

All I got was this email nearly 6 weeks ago.

Thank you for informing us that a tenant has moved out from the below property. You will receive a confirmation email as soon as your request has been processed.

what kind of service is this ?

I simply want to pay my final bill and move on !!
no bill received to my forwarding address, portal or email.
If they are busy, so am I, I am dealing with this on the bank holiday and their phones are closed, so it's their chat, and they don't take emails, or even any messages on the portal.

Affinity water have been chasing me for a bill that I have evidence I have paid.

Affinity water have been chasing me for months now for a final payment on a water bill. I paid the bill in full back in March after the property was sold. I have confirmed this with my bank and called them to explain. They have now involved a debt agency to chase the bill. I have supplied bank statements but they are still adamant the amount is due - which incredibly is the identical amount to the payment I have already made. I am pretty disgusted that they are now harassing me via a debt agency.
