As usual Devani has been excellant

As usual Devani has been excellant. My son took her call first and recognised her voice immediatley. He was confident that everything would be dealt with and passed the call to me. Again on hearing her voice I had great confidence that we were getting the best deal possible.

Dishonourable Broker

A year ago I (community shop) signed a 1 year contract for electricity with smarter business as the broker.. Unknown to us at the time this was not presented to the provider and from March 10th to April 18th we were on a variable tariff which amounted to over £1000. I have been trying to get smarter business to honour this payment for a whole year without success. It has been promised over and over again even saying it had been paid and would be in our account in 48 hours.
My small community shop finds this behaviour unacceptable but we’ve been unable to get any positive result.
A very dishonourable broker - in our opinion.

Awful. Totally unreliable.

Awful. Never got back to us. Constantly having to chase. Empty words. We ended up paying so much more than if we had organised the tariffs ourselves. We paid twice with the overlapping of contracts and when we enquired why, no reply. Don't touch with a barge pole. Totally unreliable.

Left my shop in June 2021..checked with Smarter Business to see if I owed them anything,was told I was in credit which was eventually refunded to me.
On 27th May was called by Loren.to say I owed them £8050.. they said my address matched this outstanding bill.
Contacted them and was told by Loren she received email from a co worker (Paul Tullock)who came to this amount..I know it WAS NOT FOR MY COMPANY..NOT FOR MY ADDRESS..NOT FOR MY ACCOUNT NUMBER..no correspondence back from them..still waiting...VERY POOR.

Avoid at all costs

A dreadful company, misleading, made lots of mistakes and now, when we're left high and dry, they have no desire to fix the many issues. Avoid at all costs.

Dear Mr Wallis

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review about your experience with Smarter Business and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Upon further investigation, I can confirm that in relation to the contract term, we did provide you with the resolution to compensate you for 1 year of usage based on the contract annual consumption which you agreed to. The compensation payout was made and you confirmed telephonically that you received payment on 22/03/2022 (please note all our calls are recorded for quality and assurance purposes).

In relation to your address, this has been raised accordingly with the supplier as requested and an update has been provided to you via email communication today (05/04/2022) in relation to their response received.

Should you have any further concerns please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated Customer Service department at customer.services@smarterbusiness.co.uk or 01444 220060 for further assistance.
