My smart meter is not working, I have followed all the advise I received the last time the meter did not work. The meter will not connect to my network and the advise is I should contact you. This has not been working for the last month even when put under the meter. I have another question which might be connected why was my last readings estimated, I did not receive any information stating there was a problem with the readings not being used and could I read my own readings

HELP I’ve been trying to set in touch with British Gas for the pass 2 weeks. Calls are never answered emails are returned with the inbox message stating full. If this is the way British Gas (which has the the monopoly on supplying energy to numerous customers) behaves then it needs to be looked into by Ofcom.

When I moved into the property on 6 May I looked to change providers to British Gas. This was due to start on 1 June when I entered my readings to you. The first reading on that date for gas (44872) has been used to start the bill, but the electricity reading I submitted (70495) has been ignored and my bill states it was estimated at 70392. Please arrange for the bill to be revised to allow for your miscalculation; otherwise I will be changing my provider as I expect something better form British Gas.

Book boiler service,now overdue/urgent
Absolutely disgusted with trying to get hold of British Gas. Twice I have been cut off by phone. Live chat does not happen. An erroneous take over. British Gas have admitted it is a mistake. Then I have a letter saying they are no longer going to supply me after June 13th. How do they manage to be so inefficient. Pauline Fisher. 12.15 Saturday 5thJune. I have no more means of trying to contact them. Hopeless.
Free Eon Boiler Cover scheme pretty much does as it says on the tin: it’s an insurance policy that you buy to cover the cost of having your boiler back up and running if it fails.
Can’t get through to British Gas on phone and “live chat” seems non-existent. I’m querying Homecare and would like someone to contact me

I am trying to contact someone regarding my HOMECARE renewal
tried calling by advised 20 minute wait
I want to improve the electrical bonding at my house. We plan to install an electrical car charging point. We have found a card left by an engineer to say the gas installation pipe to our premises does not appear to be fitted with main equipotential bonding. The British Gas Freephone number to arrange for this fault to be rectified has been discontinued. I would like information about who I can contact to have this work carried out.
Next of kin has died. I am overseas and nedd to transfer payments from deceased to my account. Called the helpline and automated response says 1hr + wait, can leave a message to call back – fine accept ovderseas calls not accepted. Try using bereavement service and leaving an email and phone number – except phone number not accepted. Hello British Gas ! . we have COVID epidemic and people overseas with family bereavements
Received several calls purporting to be part of your empire (Homeserve) and wishing
to talk to us regarding continuous insurance for our appliances as they claim to be
the ones carrying out the service. When this was queried the phone ends abruptly.
Is this a call generated by yourselves or is it something we should ignore as a scam.?
Homecare Number 91xxxx6207.Thankyou.
Hello, my question is this. I am fully paid up for an annual service which is overdue and am told by electronic voice that no one can enter my property because of covid. Does this mean that I will get an extension on my annual payments or will it be hard luck and will I be expected to pay up on the same annual date?

On17-10-20 the gas metre automatically locked on it self. I had call an engineer who came around and fixed it. However, before he fixed it there was £19 for gas and £76 for Electricity – he said that 24 hours later it should be credited; but it has not and the meters is currently running on minus numbers, few times I phoned to smart meter team, but they cut the phone line before the issue could be solved. Could you sort out this problem for me please.
Have recently moved in and am staying with original supplier at old address. Have final bill from you. How do I pay online without setting up an account which seems pointless for a one off payment.

Trying to change supplier. Received a letter saying cannot change supplier as I have an outstanding debt. This is untrue as we moved here October 2015. When I first topped up the prepayment meter I noticed a payment of £12 taken off for outstanding credit. Phoned and explained that we were new tenants and the debt was not ours. You sorted this quickly sent a new card and refunded the money taken off wrongly. Now 5 years later I get a letter telling me that my change of supplier cannot happen as I have an outstanding debt of over £300. I do not owe this money it was the previous tenants, Not me.
I have just received my bill for the new boiler that has just been fitted
