Credit style bristol energy recieved …
Credit style bristol energy recieved Estimated bill for over 2022 .No back billing ofgem rules .see them in court
Credit Style Limited
The company, without any notice, sent us a bill for over a thousand Pounds for 1 months usage of Bristol Energy gas/electric back in Jan 22 when they went bust.
Their figures were based on "estimates" and were so ridiculously high that, especially for electricity we STILL haven't reached their figure 17 months later!
I rang them up and asked them to send me a revised bill. The company says they can't do that, so I said "see you in court".
DO NOT PAY THESE SCAM ARTISTS.
oh dear not very good are they looks…
oh dear not very good are they looks like they can go and swivel
I did owe money
I did owe money, they did collect very professional and helpful. Guess people just don't like paying what they owe judging by the other reviews
Study the back of the letter
CST Law..On the reverse of the letter it states Bristow and Sutor are handling your file. Ring Bristow and Sutor as they havent got your file in processing. Me and my mate just got it confirmed by CST law in an email by a CST paralegal that they have no connection to the ticket issue through Bristow & Sutor. So Report them to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for overly aggressive communications and Dishonesty. Good luck.
Bad company
Bad company, chasing for money I do not owe, passed on to action fraud
For those people being contacted about Peoples Energy Debts - Scam
For those people being contacted about Peoples Energy debts. I believe this is a scam. Please report to Action Fraud.

Lisa mine is totally the same they are…
Lisa mine is totally the same they are a bunch of chancers who although regulated have no scruples. Called them asked for call back they have ignored . I have asked for Subject Access Report they haven’t actioned it that’s against the law . I am trying to follow up with a Chris Barlow but his ability’s have to be questioned too
This company is absolutely crap
This company is absolutely crap
My previous energy supplier People's Energy went bust and I was transferred to British gas. I received a fantasy final bill which was totally incorrect and I was backed up by British Gas with meter readings. Next thing I know I have Credit Style chasing me. Despite providing all the evidence including meter readings, bills and contact from British Gas it still goes on.
I have even had the energy ombudsmen backing up my case, but still they chase.
Considering legal representation now because nothing works.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Customer service is absolutely diabolical.
They are blinkered and just want money.
Had lots of threats and now the latest is a CCJ and additional costs.
I’m in the same boat as most people…
I’m in the same boat as most people regarding an outstanding debt to peoples energy! I never set up an account with them. Left voicemails and emails I’ve had no response, today I’ve had another letter claiming to have attempted to call me back! Not true! Just a total waste of my time and energy
Scam letter from CST Law
Would give zero stars if possible. I too received a letter from CST LAW, addressed to ‘The Occupier’, demanding money for Peoples Energy (Supply) Ltd. I have never had a People’s Energy account and if I had then surely they’d know my name? Tried calling but gave up, then managed to find an actual email address and emailed them. They called me today, on my mobile number despite the fact I never gave them my number?! I Moved into this rented address in august - PE went bust in 2021!! My British Gas account is in credit and they advised this was a complete scam. The CST person on phone tried to get all sorts of personal info from me and asked if I was contacting to settle the account despite me telling her 3 times that the account is not mine and nothing to do with me! When I asked for evidence of the debt in my name she quickly said they’d close the account but ‘can’t guarantee PE won’t open it again at some point? THEY WENT BUST in 2021!!! CST are scum scammers, if you get a similar letter report them to trading standards and the financial authorities!
Chasing me for money for gas *not*…
Chasing me for money for gas *not* supplied by a defunct energy company called Peoples Energy, despite the fact that I proved by email from my current suppliers that they were the ones providing me the energy during the dates in question.
Scam artists. Dont pay them a penny.
What happened when you refused to pay?
I'm in the same boat as most other reviewers and obviously have the dilemma of should I pay them to get them off my back or refuse to pay.
I see many reviewers have said they were refusing to pay but could they please post an update to Trustpilot. What happened next? Were you taken to Court? If so what did the Court decide? Or did they just stop chasing you?
Just thinking that the experiences of those that have already suffered at the hands of this obnoxious set up would help those just beginning the long sorry journey with them
Received a letter from CST LAW…
Received a letter from CST LAW demanding money for a company they said they represented - Peoples Energy (Supply) Ltd which went bust in 2021!! Tried calling AND EMAILING but could not make contact. Left message on their ansafone but nobody called back.
Contacted British Gas who took over PE customers and they advised this was a complete scam. Ignore any letters you get from CST LAW,
Scam company
Just received a scam letter saying the property had outstanding debt to a defunct energy supplier (now owned by British Gas). Contacted BG and they've confirmed this is inaccurate and a scam.
Letter was also falsely dated with a pay by the received date otherwise more charges would apply.
Absolutely Shocking Customer Service!
Absolutely Shocking Customer Service. There is no way in contacting this company. They DO NOT respond at all to email, telephone messages or phone calls no matter how many times you try and contact them. How on earth is anyone supposed to get in touch with them? PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN!
Scaremongering
Got a letter today saying I had had repeated requested to bring my account up to date - not true . Had until today to reply and prevent further action being taken . Ridiculous.
