Attention!!

Attention!!! Attention!!! Attention!!! Possibility of data theft! The site does not accept my debit and credit card details. It constantly deletes the data and asks me to re-enter all the data! I tried to pay with other cards and the same problem. I noticed a certain pattern in the last weeks all my cards were hacked and there were unauthorized attempts to pay with my cards mainly in the USA! After exchanging the cards for new ones, the same. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Discontented with Power NI's disrespectful attitude to their customers.

For the second quarter in a row I am being harassed by Power NI with text messages to 'remind you that your electricity bill payment is due for account ----------' 'please pay £----- online today.' Three such messages arrived on my phone today. I received my quarterly bill by post shortly before Christmas and I paid the bill almost immediately by cheque, using the Power NI pre-paid second-class envelope. If Power NI want bills to be paid more promptly they should not be facilitating the use of cheques and second-class post, especially in the busy Christmas period. I was previously asked by Power NI how satisfied I was with their customer service and I have to say I was unable to give a complimentary response. I am considering changing my energy supplier.
