SSE plc Avis 3 997

Just terrible. Nowhere to even begin.

SSE are trying to say I owe them money from a property I lived In back in 2022, they have sent this to debt collectors and despite my providing proof of my new tenancy clearing confirming the date and that the debt ain't mine they are to stupid to open there eyes and read. My name is Keanu Banks and I lived in Flat 2, 5 Vernon Square, Isle of wight, DOB 17/04/1998. PO332JG. SSE complaints email is invalid. I want a full subject access request under the GDPR as I had previously spoke with a lady well over a year ago confirming the debt is not mine. I know this response will be passed to their excalations team but that's not good enough. I want to speak with a TM. STOP SENDING DEBT COLLECTORS FOR MONEY I DON'T OWE!!! Sick of saying it

Our experience as a residents’ management company is unfortunately completely in-line with the other reviews here: new smart meter installed September 2023, out of contract so changed supplier in November 2023. It’s now May 2024 and despite repeated chasing and many hours on the phone we still have no final bill. SSE initially claimed that the new meter information hadn’t been uploaded by the 3rd party installer (although our new supplier had no problem whatsoever finding it). After that runaround we then received demands for payment of a fictitious bill based upon a large estimated reading from our old meter (long since disconnected and with no mention of new meter usage). After receiving the final warning letter I did at least get SSE to stop sending them. After insisting on raising a complaint (while receiving assurances that a correct bill would be with me by ‘the end of the week’) I’ve now raised a case - over 8 weeks later with no bill in sight - with the ombudsman. Who would have thought that trying to receive and pay a correct final bill could be so difficult?!

As a buiness user, SSE are one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with. Website won't accept readings, emailed readings still not got bill based on my usage, spent hours speaking to customer services weeks, still not sorted. Now they've sent these wildly inaccurate bills to a 3rd party to take legal action.

I agree with all these one-star ratings. They are by far the worst energy company going, and that is saying something after being with British Gas.

I am contracted to a monthly bill and send them meter readings every month on the same day and yet they get the bills wrong EVERY TIME and have even sent me a quarterly bill for nearly £1,000. I have escalated my complaints several times and they do nothing about them.

The worst part is even the energy ombudsman does nothing after complaining to them. They tell me to get a deadlock letter which I have asked SSE to provide numerous times to no avail and apparently, the Energy Ombudsman can do nothing without a deadlock letter!

How are they still allowed to operate?

Best customer service rep. Please note my 5 stars is for Leah and not for the company.

After months of trying to get SSE to resolve a unexpected bill sent a year after leaving them Leah unlike all other agents showed empathy, understanding and went out her way to help help resolve my query. Even though not resolved yet, Leah deserves recognition her excellent customer service the only person at SSE who cares.

AGAIN MY 5 STARS ARE FOR LEAH AND NOT SSE

Impossible to reach their customer support. Very bad company. No recommend

Worst company I have ever dealt with, no matter how many times you speak to them on the phone & they say they have sorted things at there end as soon as the phone goes down you are back to square one.

Website or app never work

Can get logged in then just get spinning wheel on website with nothing loading, app just continuously gives errors. Staff say there is nothing wrong though, so guess my fault. Luckily bill twice the normal rate lol

Sent a bill for over £7000 because they switched to a new system. Should have been around £1500. This was in October. Dispute was raised immediately. Now mid April. One visit to disconnect our community pavilion. Then a bill of £75 for sending the chap out!! No response. Next stop Watchdog.

Unfortunately, I am not able to give a zero start rating. I have been requesting again and again for SSE to correct their billing address for a site that I manage in Lansdowne Road in Tunbridge Wells, which has two electricity supplies provided by SSE. They have decided after years of sending us the bills, that they are now going to start sending them to the ex managing agents again. Despite several requests they refuse to correct their error and revert back to sending the bills to us, like they always used to and like they should be. I will be moving away from them soon as a result and would suggest that anyone thinking of using them steers clear of them.

Doesn't even deserve one star. A final bill has finally been produced since requested beginning of November and it was taken then six months to produce an excessive bill when the premises are vacant. Have put in formal complaints but no respond. One error after another.Will be taking this complaint to the Ombudsman.

I now know how Alan Bates feels v. The Post Office...!
SSE billed our Company £240k for a year of electricity when the agreed rates on a 4-year contract are a third of this!!
I've not received any real communication from SSE in 13 months, despite all the usual phone calls and emails that I've sent. They impotently blame their "new" IT system.....
I see that OVO took over SSE in 2020 and they must be absolutely desperate to sell on this husk of a Company!

Awful customer service - Spent hours and hours on the phonr, still not sorted my query.!!!!! They just don't care. We have two shops with 3 meters, I am taking them all away from this useless company !!!!!!!!!!

‼️Disgraceful ‼️

Little girl on dialysis and threats to cut off the electric even though medical evidence was sent set up 15 direct debits each failed.... Why because this disgraceful company had lied they had never even put in for the money. A disgusting bullying of vulnerable children. A disgrace. I even felt like committing S in 2021 due to company bullying. Horrific if I could give a million 0 stars I would gladly do so AVOID AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Hello Sse .
Your response that I am not your customer is wrong.
I am a business customer of yours
Please look me up and respond to me direct
You have all my telephone number a.
You need to get a grip and sort your mess out

I would give them 0 if I could.

Absolutely no documentation or confirmation about the seg tariff. They pay every 6 months but the process is so convoluted and requires at least 4 different numbers which are obviously not provider. Then you have to log in to some Spanish website and get absolutely no confirmation of meter readings or when the money will be sent.
After 6 months of hello I have finally moved to Octopus but this wasn't the last of their word, as first they didn't transfer my account and I had to call them (obviously they don't respond to emails and the SEG account number is nowhere to be found on the website) and I was told that they don't have my bank account ( I know I had to update my records to even register) and they owe me half of my 6 months. Why? Because despite starting with them 6 months ago (+ about 4 months to set the account) they though I was with them longer so they used lower rates.

Anyways, this was sorted and I was told that processing of my payment will be done in 2 months, yet two months are gone and I haven't heard anything.

1 star is too generous for this company. We are a business customer, been billed for the same period twice, no one seems to understand this simple concept and i have been trying to get the issue sorted since November 2023. They don't respond to emails, takes forever and a day to get through to someone by phone, break the issue down line for line with the agents so it is clear what the issue is, after 1hr 45mins on the phone today (most of that spent waiting in queues) with multiple agents/departments and i am no closer to getting the situation resolved.
Best of it is, when i spoke to someone in November when i originally raised the issue, the agent advised their new system was duplicating charges and SSE were aware of this so a simple email would resolve, how wrong that agent was! As soon as we are out of contract we will be switching to a different company.

Repaired my (hard to find) broken underground cable the same day. Had to dig up my whole garden, but repaired it afterwards. Well impressed!

The worst energy company going! Over billed me £19 thousand plus & took a few months off arguing before it was deducted from my bill then over billed again a £1000 to which they still owe me back & started the complaint process in November then mid complaint they disconnected my gas supply last week and added a £1000 to my bill for doing this! As they had passed the 8 weeks complaint procedure I have now escalated it to the energy ombudsmen & I was advised to call SSE & advise of me escalating the complaint and was told the disconnection would stay in place! Mad as my monthly usage is between £28 & £34 monthly!
