Moved in June advised my change of tenancy was completed. Called rumerous times and emailed with no response. Finally managed to get hold of someone in march. Changed over but on a ridiculous standing charge of 31p per day. And miss sold advised suppliers do not have exit fees. Most suppliers have an exit fee. More training needed!! I will be changing my supplier as soon as the process is complete

Hi Callen,

Thank you for getting in touch and bringing this to our attention. I have escalated this to our Change of Tenancy Department to investigate. I will have an agent contact you once we have more information.

In regards to the standing charges, Avid Energy offer a prepayment service and we disclose our standing charge on sign up so there are no hidden charges. Our plans depend on the option you chose on sign up.

Avid Energy encourages customers to stay for a year by offering starter credit and anniversary credit but you are not contractually obliged to. There are no exit fees should you chose to leave supply before the year.

If you call our team on 03300226115, or if you email us on support@avidenergy.co.uk we can review your plan and see if we can reduce your costs.

Kind Regards,
Jasmine

Hi Sarah,

I’m really sorry to hear you had such a frustrating experience, but I really appreciate you bringing this issue to my attention.

Avid Energy is a prepayment service. You pay for what you use and with our smart meters you can track your own usage using our mobile app. Our agents are trained to do usage checks and to give you energy saving tips.

I am going to have an agent contact you shortly to complete a usage check and advise on where you may be using more electricity/gas.

Problem with gas meter fixed

Today I had an ongoing problem with my gas meter sorted. I spoke to Gemma and she virtually walked my through the problem to get it fixed. Incredible how Gemma used the email and phone calls to communicate how I could fix the problem. Her patience and professionalism is highly commendable. Thank you so much
