No Hot Water Again and No Action Until Five People Complain

I contacted Switch2 today because my building has no hot water again. I was told they would only deal with the issue if at least five residents had reported it. Otherwise, I was instructed to call back tomorrow morning.

This is completely unacceptable. We have already experienced five hot water outages since June and residents are expected to coordinate multiple complaints before any action is taken.

I live in the UB7 7GG area, and this ongoing lack of reliable hot water is extremely frustrating. A utility provider should respond promptly to service interruptions, regardless of how many people have called to report the same issue.

I am very disappointed with both the reliability of the hot water supply and the customer service provided by Switch2. I hope they improve their response process and take these recurring issues more seriously.

After waiting 25 minutes in a queue

After waiting 25 minutes in a queue. Phoned to tell them I am moving address and they told me click on the link to fill a moving address form out. When I clicked on the link it explained how to top my credit up.
No way am I going to phone again and wait another 25 minutes in a queue.

Payment didnt show on account

I made a payment by bank transfer at 2.30am on 1/7/2026 but it did not show on my meter. I phoned on 1st and spoke to Ben who was transferring it along with screenshot I had taken to Finance. I phoned and spoke to Damian on 2/7/2026 as my credit still hadnt appeared. He checked my details n said he would forward to Finance again. I phoned today 3/7/20 and spoke to Alice. She checked details and asked if I had sent bank reference for payment. I said no as no-one else had asked me to. I looked it up while she was still on the call. She said she would pass onto Finance and she would keep an eye on the account. An hour later she phoned to say Finance had found my payment and credit would show within 2 hours. Credit is on meter now. I think theres a lesson to be learned here. Make sure you collect all the info from the customer. It took a female to show the male's how to do the job properly.
THANK YOU ALICE!
