    Good Points: Said I would receive 25 pounds cashback when joining.

    Bad Points: I didn't receive my cashback with first bill, when queried was informed I would get the cashback after 1 year, can't remember this was not mentioned when I moved to British Gas.

    General comments: I am currently waiting to switch to Scottish Power where I have my gas since I was misinformed when moving to British Gas, I have also had a lot of problems with bills etc constantly sending estimates even though I have supplied meter readings.

    I would not bother with British Gas unless you want to waste lots of time like I had to, trying to contact them and monitoring your bills to check that you are still on a tariff that offers good value.

    British Gas are a total nightmare the Electric is costing us ££10 a day which it was never like this before. Not only this when we switched over British Gas said when you get the key you will already have £20 on it already so we phoned up there terrible service only for a women to say sorry you only get that when you have been with us for a year so they did nothing. Oh customer service all they said was we will tell the person off for saying that to you so there was no money pu ...

    I was informed when moved electricity to themselves because my gas was already with them I would receive a £20-00 bonus for switching, upon receiving bill and the bonus not credited when called I was informed it would be added on my fourth quarterly bill, thus meaning waiting a year for my bonus, I was certainly not informed of this when signing up. I may move on from this Company due to their lack of information re the above.

    This is a long story which I will attempt to shorten. We received a surprise electricity bill for £1500 following having a meter change which we were horrified by. British Gas claimed that estimates were wrong despite me giving them meter readings. This was for a 12 month period. Living with my wife in a mid terrace with an empty house most of the day I was convinced this was wrong. In summary it took us months to fight this bill and get a simple and accurate breakdown of how my bill was c ...

    Administratively they have been appalling. If I costed my time and lost interest on the credit balance they have built up, they would be the dearest in the market. some of the problems I have had - Ignore e-mails Difficult to contact by phone Do not return calls when promised Let credit balance build up but ignore requests to refund it and refuse to pay interest or compensate

    I changed from a prepay to a regular meter several months after moving in. They tried to charge me for several months of electricity for the time I had the prepay meter. Luckily I had noted dates in my diary for the time I got the meter changed. The new consumer unit never got registered and every time I got a bill and tried to give them a correct reading, they couldn't take it because they said I needed two readings, not just one that showed on my new meter. I had two visits from British Ga ...

    Always check your bill thoroughly before paying it! After spending 5 months trying to notify them I had moved in to my property, they tried to charge me nearly £900 for 6 months electricity in a 1 bed flat. The meter readings on the bill did not match the charges. They then altered 'actual' meter readings to suit the amount they wanted to charge me. Then when I contacted Energywatch (who were no more helpful) a revised bill was sent out. After three requests, I am still yet to receive th ...

    My bills have been going up & up with British Gas....I used to pay £25 per month for electricity. British Gas miscalculated so my monthly bill increased to £78 per month. A few months later I got another letter to say they have re-assessed and my monthly bill would increase to £93...I got a letter yesterday to say my bill will now be £115!!! I'm looking for a new supplier now!

    They constantly mess up your gas bills, and send you reminders when you have already paid. This happened to us with British Gas.

    I recently had a flood and used 4 industrial dehumidifiers for 2 weeks. They used £300 worth of electricity. I rang customer services and paid the £300 over the telephone. British Gas have now re-assessed my monthly payments, and they have gone up from £33 per month to £134 per month. Customer services now refuse to re-assess my payments, taking into account the electricity used by the dehumidifiers. They refuse to allow me to speak to anyone in management. The best they ...

    A young man knocked on my door one weekend and offered me £35 off my electric bill if I changed to British Gas. I took up the offer, as it seemed to have no drawbacks at all. About a month later a final bill arrived from my previous supplier, and a date for the connection to British Gas arrived. I noticed that the new rates, although lower at night, were much higher during the day. My neighbour confirmed that British Gas were the most expensive. I phoned my old supplier and I was told ...
