Hello Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning. As discussed on our call I am sorry to hear that you have received conflicting timescales regarding your refund from different agent. I will speak to finance now to cancel the cheque and add the amount to your agreement.

The experience to tell the truth has been more or less consistant since I joined in a good way.
I sometimes struggle with bills and utilita always helps if they can.
This gives me a safety net.
Staff are always well mannered and give me no reason to complain.
The app is sort of easy to Navigate.
App simplification is always good if possible.

The lady I spoke to yesterday sorted out my problem right away. I tried to ring Utilita on Saturday night but they are closed and also closed on a Sunday. So I couldn't report my gas card wasn't working so I had No hot water over the weekend. There should be a number you can ring if you are having problems with your electric or gas cards.

Hi Catherine

Thank you for your kind review. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to enhance our services. We're glad to colleague was able to resolve your issue promptly when you spoke to us.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to be without hot water over the weekend due to your gas card not working.

We do have an emergency telephone number which is available every day, including weekends, from 8am to 10pm. This can be found on the contact page of our website (https://utilita.co.uk/contact) and is reserved for loss of supply enquiries.

If you have a smart gas meter there are alternative ways that you can top up to restore your supply including by app, online, our automated phone line and using the card numbers at top up retail locations. Smart meters also have friendly credit hours which provide energy overnight during the week and over the whole weekend, even if top ups are unavailable. If you don't have a smart meter we may be able to arrange this for you, all you'll need to do is contact our customer service teams who will explain the process, check eligibility and arrange an installation date.

Utilita staff illegally refused a Subject Access Request (as this would confirm everything I said was true) which they LEGALLY have to provide. They also lied regarding a complaint about them illegally overcharging above the price cap on my gas prepayment meter, telling me a manager would call me. No manager even attempted to call and when asked, your staff lied (a common theme) telling me a manager had called and I'd failed security questions. Eventually they admitted no manager had called. But Utilita have closed my complaint regarding the illegal overcharging on my gas prepayment meter and falsely said they believe they've done their best - they've literally done NOTHING, they refused to investigate!
