Very helpful customer service staff

Very helpful customer service staff. Technical staff also extremely helpful tried various ways to resolve our issue and when they were unable to they passed us on the Open Reach who spent a lot of time outside and finally resolved issue. Excellent service from UW. Would highly recommend.

I had a truly awful experience with UW

I had a truly awful experience with UW. I am a full time carer for my 90 yr old mum and need certain energy requirements at my house. I instructed UW to take over my energy but then 12 hrs later, after looking at some reviews, I changed my mind - well within my 14 day cooling off period. UW has made it extremely difficult to get out of my contract with them. I have been fighting them for 2 months and their behaviour is borderline predatory. Despite having a very clear mandate to hand over my energy supplies to EON, they haven't. I'm making an official complaint with the ombudsman about their business practices. If there's anyone else who has experienced this I'd be really keen to know to put together a more comprehensive complaint to the statutory body.

Hello Vic,

I'm so sorry for the stress and frustration this has caused, especially while you're caring for your mum. I completely understand why you wanted a seamless transition, and I'd like to explain exactly what's happening with your services to help put your mind at ease.

Because your cancellation request came in on the actual day the services went live, it was unfortunately already too late for us to stop the automatic switchover from our end. Once that happens, the correct next step is for your chosen provider to request the services back from us. As long as that request is made correctly by them, we'll always release the services without any issue.

To give you the exact timeline of where things stand:

Electricity: We received the request from your chosen supplier on April 22nd, and your electricity successfully switched away to them a few days later.

Gas: We only just received the official request from the supplier yesterday, which means your gas is due to switch away to them tomorrow.

Once the gas leaves tomorrow, both services will be back with your preferred provider. You'll only ever be charged by us for the gas and electricity used during the short time the services were actually live with UW.

I hope this helps clarify the situation, and I'm glad to see both services are now safely on their way back to EON for you and your mum.

Thanks and take care,

Nin

Hello June,

Thanks for sharing your review. I'm glad to hear you're finding our prices competitive, but I'm sorry for the lack of response to your emails about moving your meter.

It would be best to speak to our team directly on 0333 777 0777. They'll be able to discuss the gas meter relocation process with you, look at the next steps, and talk through any costs involved.

Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to getting this sorted for you.

Transition Nightmare

I am still transitioning my electric, gas and phone service to UW. Despite promising a seamless transition I am now stuck between 2 service providers both taking money from me. In addition, I was told that UW would pay any additional fees I incurred in breaking my contract with O2. Despite providing a final screenshot of my O2 app and a bank statement showing the final bill, I have been told that this is not acceptable and I need to ask O2 to email me a final statement!!!! Who uses paper in this day and age - UW obviously. I was promised that the move would save me money but at the moment I am significantly out of pocket that will take months to claw back
My strong recommendation to any customer thinking of moving to UW is don’t do it. I have wasted so much time on my electric/gas transition and now have to spend more time on my mobile transfer.
The fitting of my smart meter was rescheduled by UW with a delay of 4 weeks. However the engineer turned up on the original date so I could have kept that appointment. The next appointment is due tomorrow however when I phoned to confirm details, I was originally told that there was no booking and when I complained I was told that the meter fitting is scheduled for tomorrow but there was an error on the system.
I’m not sure that I trust anything UW says anymore. Be very careful.

I think its only fair to write that following this review being posted, a representative from UW has contacted me and via other exchanges and by providing more information, I have been advised that they are now able to cover my termination fees with O2. so That's a great relief.
The time slot I have been given for the smart meter installation was 8am/12noon today, and engineer has arrived at 11.21. Result!!

Hello Sally,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. I am sorry to hear about the stress and financial strain this transition has caused you, from being double-billed by providers to the confusion surrounding your smart meter appointment.

Regarding your mobile contract buyout, please be assured we do accept digital documents. While a screenshot of an app or a bank statement usually doesn't show the full breakdown required to verify termination fees, a downloaded PDF copy of your final O2 bill—which you can easily grab from your online O2 account—is completely acceptable and does not need to be a paper copy.

I've requested some additional information to check the document sent in and sort out the termination fee credit as long as the number has come to UW then there should be no issue so long as the document shows the termination fee.

UPDATE: Thank you for providing your details and providing the additional information. The maximum credit has been applied as mentioned in the email I sent.

Thanks and take care,

Nin

The engineer was very professional and absolutely first rate repairing our meters, i cannot praise him highly enough. The communication however,was not up to the standard I expected. It took 3 calls each lasting 45 minutes to have my issue resolved, I was told, on the 2nd call that I would be seen within the hour as I had already been waiting 3 hours, I called back a 3rd time only to be told that the ticket, I thought raised at 10am, had not been acted on and the issue was sorted when the engineer arived at approx 5:30. This is not a good reflection of the service you claim to aspire to achieve and I am giving serious consideration to looking elsewhere for our energy needs.

We have a three bedroom house with two teenage children. Our bills are £500 per month and someone from UW said it’s the cost of a small country manner. I asked if someone could check if everything was ok and to see where issues could be and they said no. Just keep taking the money. The kids are disabled and we are really struggling

Hello Vicky,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review, and I am incredibly sorry to hear about the stress this is causing your family. Dealing with high monthly bills while caring for your children is a heavy burden.

We want to make sure your billing is accurate and that you are fully supported. Please get in touch with our team directly on 0333 777 0777. Our advisors can discuss all of your available support options and arrange a Meter Accuracy Test to ensure your meter is recording your usage correctly. Usually, the team will ask you to complete a few simple home checks first to help rule out any internal appliance issues before a physical test is booked.

Please give us a call so we can look into this, check your account, and help ease the pressure on your household.

Thanks and take care,

Nin
