Appalling customer engagement & communications

Shocking communications style. Threatening to pass my details to debt collector.

I haven’t set up a direct debit as I prefer to pay for what I use Monthly. As soon as I receive an account update by email i pay in full and I have done that for the year I have been with them.

They never send a statement of account by email with a request to pay by a certain time. The first email I get is the threatening one.

I raised this as feedback and was promised a response in June. Nothing from them.

It’s a utility company. The only competitive difference they have is how they engage and communicate with their customers.

The way they are communicating with me is appalling and now looking to move supplier.

Hello Charles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how upsetting it can be to receive communications referring to debt collection when you've been making payments on your account.

We appreciate that you prefer to manage your account on a pay-on-receipt basis rather than by Direct Debit, and it's concerning to hear that you feel the communication you received did not clearly explain your balance or provide sufficient notice before escalation. We also apologise that the feedback you previously raised was not followed up as promised.

At So Energy, we strive to communicate with our customers in a clear, fair, and respectful manner, and we're disappointed to learn that we've fallen short of those expectations in your case. Your comments regarding billing notifications, payment reminders, and the tone of our communications are valuable, and we will ensure this feedback is shared with the relevant teams for review.

I've sent you an email discussing this further. If you could please review it would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,
Jag.

I was selling my mum's house after the passed away. We had tenants who chose SO Energy. No problems. However, once they left, I contacted SO Energy to explain that we weren't able to pay them the money we would then owe until the house was sold. We wanted to keep the power on until we sold the house. They were patient, but didn't ask us for proof that we couldn't pay, then suddenly I was sent to a debt collector. I had explained we were in the last part of selling the house and that I had proof. This has ruined my credit rating. So, yes, they were patient, but because we kept the power on, they ended up with money they wouldn't have had, had we cancelled them. All they had to do was aske for proof.

Hello Sharon,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First of all, we're very sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, and we appreciate that dealing with utility accounts during such a difficult time can add extra stress.

We’re sorry to learn that you felt your circumstances were not fully considered before your account was referred for debt collection. We understand that you had been in contact with us regarding the sale of the property and your intention to settle the balance once the sale had been completed. We can appreciate how frustrating it must have been to have offered supporting evidence and feel that it was not requested or taken into account.

We aim to work with customers who are experiencing financial difficulties and to communicate clearly about any actions that may be taken on an account. It's disappointing to hear that, in this case, your experience fell short of those expectations and has left you concerned about the impact on your credit file.

I have sent you an email letting you know the steps that I am taking to review this for you. If you could please read through the email and respond at the earliest opportunity, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Jag.
