Poor customer service

Two months after selling our property, informing Clear Business of the change in ownership and supplying all the necessary information relating to this, we are still being harassed for payments, now on a daily basis. We do not have any outstanding bills, and Clear Business have confirmed this, and yet we are still being contacted for non payment. Customer service is very poor. Each time we contact them we have to explain the background all over again.

We can understand your frustration with having to repeatedly explain the situation. We are actively investigating this matter to prevent such occurrences in the future.

This has been forwarded to the team and i have requested they provide you with an update on the matter.

I've been with Clear Business for about 10 years. Just recently I've updated my water metre contract again. Cameron Bell my new manager for utilities has helped me with choosing my contract and discussing my other utilities which I will be updating when my contracts finish with other companies. I want to thank Cameron for his help, care and customer service. Everything was straightforward and stress-free.

He actually called me back on every occasion that I had asked him he was so easy to work with did his best to help resolve my issue but alas it want to be I had to pay the ridiculous fee regardless but he made a very bad situation much more bearable .
