Once upon a time......

...a woman decided to have her gas and electric provided by NPower. A silly mistake on her behalf, not the best supplier, but a quick and easy solution....

When she had more time she rectified her mistake, choosing a superior supplier and terminating her contract with NPower....in 2013!

A few months later, early 2014, NPower advised her of the credits on her account, apologised for the delay and refunded her all credits owed

To her amazement, a couple of months later, NPower sent her another letter. Apologising again for their delay and agreeing to write off outstanding amounts as a result....(hold on, did you not just credit me refunds, what write offs, oh well must be sorted now)

Thankyou for consistently sending us the wrong bills and managing to lose track of the £500 lump sum we paid you ,despite it being 'in the notes' for our account. Absolutely disgusted with the incompetency of your service.

We've had problem after problem with Npower. At one point they moved us out of our house (on their account system) and even moved somebody else in. Because of Npowers mistakes and failing to resolve them promptly we ended up hundreds of pounds in debt!

So far, actual Npower staff have told me on the phone since trying to sort an ongoing query from Feb "if you don't think you owe the money just ignore our letters" "your account is in a bit of a mess isn't it, no wonder you don't trust it's right" "we have issues being understaffed but we are recruiting to rectify this" "ah yes we have a routing error on our system, please call back on the same number, press option 2 again and you should get the right department" "it would be impossible for a flat of your size to have used that much electricity so something must be wrong" ........I am about to bill NPower £100 an hour for every hour I have been on hold. Full letter is going to watchdog, newspapers, ombudsmen, npower directors. I have been ill advised, miss sold in order to retain me as a customer, lied to, written to with letters my 5 year old could have written better and had admissions that npower have cocked up from npower staff. I have made an appointment with my doctor for stress purely related to this issue. Does anyone at Npower care? Um no! If I ran my company this disgustingly I would go out of business. Shameful.

So Npower your customer service stinks, 3 times I have spoken to someone on your live chat 2 times they have decided to end that chat mid conversation..

I have been a customer since November and never had a bill even though I have asked for one. (Yes that's right I want to pay you, although after all the stress you have caused I'm not sure why)

 

Anyway. I was asked to send my meter readings in which I did I then contacted someone for my bill who told me there was a problem generating it and it would take up to 30 days to get fixed. 30 days pass and no bill.

 

I then get a text to say you want my meter readings again which I supply you with.

 

I jumped on to live chat again and spoke to someone who didn't understand what I was wanting to do. Who said I hadn't spoken to anyone previously - I then pretty much had to beg them to read the previous transcript to get an idea of what I was wanting to do.

There was no outcome to the chat as the person I was speaking to decided to end that chat which frustrated me even more.

 

Not only am I dreading this bill as I assume it will be high, but you set the wrong DD amount up and you have been taking half of the amount you should have been.

 

I have tweeted you 3 times in total to try and get someone to contact me but I got nothing back.

 

So all in all I'm pretty annoyed and confused about this company. Your customer service stinks and you don't want customers to pay you for the gas and electric we have used.

 

Well if I don't get a reply or someone doesn't contact me by Monday and I don't receive a bill by Friday I take it that you don't want any money off me therefore I will cancel my DD and change supplier.

 

I can't be dealing with amateurish companies like yourselves this is the 21st century we live in, we can put man on the moon which takes anything up to 3 days why on earth is it taking you nearly 2 months to give me a bill?

Immediate action needed: I am owed £789.20! Because of your delay in sorting my bill for over 18 months and then creating a bill for the above amount, which you have subsequently stated is incorrect and is actually £38, and sending me letters constantly stating that I owe you this £789.20 along with court orders and threat of debt companies and the understandable stress and possibility of affecting credit rating I paid the full amount. Once I paid this to stop the letters you then replied stating I owed £38 but because of the delay in sorting my bill you have credited my account which means you owe me my £789.20!!! I have been waiting 3 weeks for your complaints team to reply to this and refund me the money. If I do not get a complete refund within 10 days I will contact my MP. I have already referred this to the energy ombudsman.

I have been ignored as well a few times actually...finally get through after 50mins on hold to get a snotty woman who spoke over me then ignored me completely! I have never known such incompetence....quick enough to threaten legal action can't actually reply to simple emails! I thought leaving was the best thing I ever did 5 months later I'm still paying the price. Disgusting! It's not hard to be polite on the phone and actually try to help instead of changing the subject and palming you off....

Finally got my estimated bill for 6 weeks of service after 18 months of faffing about because of no accurate meter readings when I moved in. I am insulted by Npower and their attitude to their customers. Letter received after complaint to say they would be finally sending estimated bill, bill sent a few days later, second letter the following day to remind me to pay, even though they must surely know I would not have received the estimated bill yet and the final insult today. a telemessage letter telling me to get in touch regarding payment sent on THE DAY I PAID VIA THEIR AUTOMATED SYSTEM. I have never had to deal with so much incompetence from one company.

Just don't bother - if you need anything attended to, then you'll just find yourself in a world of circular phone calls and missed appointments. Luckily if you are self employed then you can use the precedent of Payling v npower to sue to recoup your losses. In the meanwhile move to a competent supplier.

Anyone like to tell those people to come here for help.

[Conniff]

Ah, but it's not their fault "we have issues being understaffed but we are recruiting to rectify this". I don't see how that turns a credit into £hundred debt, but it obviously does.

[Eversir]

They need to raise funds for a competent workforce somehow. God forbid they source it from the bloated salaries of the company directors...

Okay, heres the deal, can anyone , left power over a year and half , was on prepayment, no debt, on and off over the last year , power have sent several threatograms, saying I owed them over £2900 !!, after several calls to them , they advised problem their side, no apology, then silence, then the letters start again, i did complain via their website this time, and they sent a letter out saying to disregard the last threatogram,however in the meantime they have also passed the debt to those good old threat boys moor croft, who are constantly calling, sending threatograms, offering payment plans , now i really want to make an example of this...because I think it needs it , any ideas on moving forward, do i SAR moorcroft first ? i do not want ignore, i want an example made of, for all the hassle, threatograms etc, oh and npower's incompetence

[kev100]

We had trouble with Npower when they tried to charge us for an account that did not b elong to us, They looked on the land registry register and took our name and address from there and then applied the account to us (it belonged to the neighbor who sold his house for his tenants for the passageway lights), the new owner told Npower it was not his account, so they did the dirty trick on us.

 

After hours of speaking to very unpleasant and downright rude staff, I emailed the COE several times, those emails were ignored.

 

Many more letters and threatening demands for statutory payments.

 

In the end I told them to shove their letters where the sun dont shine, and if they want any money from me then to issue me with a county court claim and I would be more than happy for a judge to decide who owes who money.

 

After that threat by me they advised going to the ombudsman, after several weeks we got an apology from Npower, the account was closed with no payment owed, and we were given £100 good will gesture from Npower.

 

Not sure the 100 quid was worth all the hassle and frustration though from thoroughly unpleasant and disgusting staff.

 

I have come to the conclusion after several problems with big companies that its best not to argue with them .. but to slap them with a county court summons, or the threat of letting a judge decide. Seems to get the job done.

[Conniff]

I'll bet the £100 was 'not' voluntary but because the ombudsman told them to.

 

 

I so agree with your last sentence, not enough people resort to the courts, probably because there is an aire of mystery and a fear of cost, but a normal county court case isn't that expensive at all.
