Threats, disrespect and rudeness

I have been using AW for about 7 years now. Never missed a single bill, not even one, all of them paid on time. Accidentally, I missed the email reminder 6 months ago. Soon after, I had a rather threatening call from a lady to say that this slight delay (about a month or less) would be affecting my credit score. I obviously paid immediately, as I had always done. But this, people, is how they treat customers: threats, disrespect and rudeness.

Moving & Trying to close on line account

I am trying to close our on line account as we have moved out and its keep asking for our new postcode, but we have moved abroad so it wont let us continue and give them the names of the new owners or any of the information it says it needs. We just keep getting the same message saying "Sorry, we could not find that postcode in our database of supplied postal addresses." Really?? What a surprise!

Very good,

Very good,
A very good experience when contacting Affinity Water regarding my billing online.
The advisor was very helpful and understanding.
I chose to go paperless to have my billing online. It’s more convenient.

Not happy

Not happy, this company has the cheek to tell me i missed my direct debit payment, and charged me an 11 fee. even though i was in credit.
I would like to now add they Affinity water have made no effort to contact me in any way.

Update 24//04/26 fee credited back with warning and funds were available, so rightly so I should be refunded.. How can you enforce rules for people just because of a direct debit

I selected 'moving out of the area

I selected 'moving out of the area, close account'. It asks for my new post code and surprise surprise, it 'cant find my address in the Affinity supply area !! I said I was moving OUT OF THE AREA!! Then it doesn't allow me to close my account!! This is terrible so.. I'll have call Affinity now, wasting my time AND Affinity's and it creates an unwanted contact!!

Charge for Empty Property

The property was empty, using no water or sewage but we were still charged as if it was occupied. That to me is completely wrong.

Moving House

We recently moved house and received a very professional service in transferring our Affinity Water account from our old address. Unlike many companies, my call was answered promptly and all my questions dealt with in a very efficient and friendly manner.
