Terrible company to deal with.

Terrible company to deal with.
do not pay over the phone as they take double the amount owed and then it is a nightmare to get the money refunded.
No communication & long wait times on the phone.
Harassment phone calls daily.
Worst company I have ever had to deal with.
All staff say different things when you call up.
They do not even check meter readings.

I'm sorry reading other reviews i thought i was dealing with a different company ,put' un' in front of most words and it sums up my experience with them ,unhelpful uncooperative ,unfair, uncompromising in fact a bloody nightmare to deal with ,my last bill for 6 month in advance was more than i spent last year ,give us £1400+ upfront on estimated meter readings for water up until october 26 .
Oh and if you don't pay we will fine you and effect your credit score .
NO discussions......I'M OFF but no doubt they will make that awkward.

Thanks for leaving a review. About 90% of Castle customers are billed monthly in arrears, with most paying by direct debit. There wouldn't normally be any problem moving you to this - you can provide monthly meter reads via the portal (on or around the 25th of the month in order for the read to be used in the next bill), and only be billed for water you know you have used. I'm sending an info request via TrustPilot - if you can confirm your account number and your preferred contact details we'll look into your billing and see what has gone wrong, and contact you to move you to monthly billing.
