Trustpilot Reviews of Shell Energy: Awful, Horrendous, Pitiful, Horrible

I wish I had never signed up to shell…

I wish I had never signed up to shell energy. I was promised savings on both gas and electricity but my DD has more than doubled. Every time I call I am fobbed of with an excuse.
They have taken so much money it has taken me into my overdraft (costing an extra £30). I’m now waiting on another phonecall from them.
I’m now out of pocket and cannot afford to keep calling them to rectify their issues.
Do not join this company unless you want to be out of pocket and cause yourself a massive headache.

Stealing from the disabled

I joined shell based on a few reviews online, i always fuel up with shell and thought hey may aswel switch to shell energy at home too (how stupid i know) the biggest mistake i ever made. All they have done is rob me, i went on a holiday for 2 months and obv was not using no gas or electric and they charged me 178pounds per month i was gone, i called and mentioned this and said how can this possibly be correct and that is when they said oh we can’t communicate with ur gas meter, so all these months they have been charging me well over a 100quid was an estimate, i have smart meters and the whole point of them is to be charged accurately, they then said that i have to give them readings everymonth, my meters are in my store room which is packed with alot of things and is very difficult to reach the meters, i am so upset and annoyed with this, i have to ask a neighbor to come here and take readings (what is the point of smart meters) i never had this issue previously with any company! Everymonth they have been over charging me and taking it out of my account, when i did give them a reading a kind man over the phone said my gas bill was only 3.80pounds and electric was 12pounds. He was helpful but not helpful enough, he said i have to carry on paying 129pounds everymonth and then i will fall in alot of credit which is money that will be owed to me from shell, but what’s the point of that? Why should i pay alot and struggle financially for the whole of my contract and be charged so much when my bill is absolutely petty few pounds. He said my contract will end Oct 2021 and i have to just put up with it for now! I am deeply upset and depressed every single month when i could use that money on food instead for my baby. Covid is already hitting us hard and during this time i had a major spinal surgery which has left me bedbound. I can’t even start with the amount of stress i have gotten from shell, being charged so much when bills are so less is beyond belief, this is robbery doesn’t matter if they say it’s owed to me and when contract ends they will reimburse what is the point of that when i need money now and it’s being taken off me everymonth!!! I can’t wait for this contract to end with them, i have had a terrible experience with this company, i have NEVER left bad reviews before but i really think people should be aware of this before they decide to switch over to this company. They’re thieves who rob of disabled people. I wouldn’t even leave one star but if i couldnt write this review otherwise. Seriously i just want time to pass quickly so I can switch to someone else I can’t afford to switch over now as charges for each meter is 75quid if i switch and i cant afford that ontop of paying their usual bill everymonth!! Hopefully when contract ends that will be the end of it. My mom and family were thinking if switching over to another supplier and they came across shell online search, goodjob they mentioned it to me and straightaway i said DO NOT SWITCH TO SHELL! i will never recommend this thieving company to anyone!! Oh i forgot to mention, they said they will fit new smart meters for me because they can’t communicate with my meteres and then i get an email suddenly theyre able to re-establish communication!! I doubt very much as they said the same thing back in MAY and bill was still high and once i gave them a reading suddenly bill was low again but they still had to charge me and it would mean i fall in “credit” what an absolute JOKE!!!!!!! UNHAPPY.

If I could give them a 0 stars I would

If I could give them a 0 stars I would. They quote a price and then hike it up. The customer service is non-existent. The women I spoke to kept interrupting with everything I said and then when I interrupted her was told “don’t speak to me like that” she really had no personable skills or customer service what so ever…in the wrong job and the call got nowhere! Waste of time. Avoid like the plaque. The price is not transparent and then they hike the price up without letting you know, can’t wait until we are out of this contract. Should have stayed with Eddie!

1 star is 1 too many for this supplier

1 star is 1 too many for this supplier. The “customer service” department never ever answer the phone. They never ever respond to emails. I have been with them for a year now and despite many hours waiting on the phone over various issues I have never managed to speak to anyone except the tariff people who couldn’t resolve my issues.
They sent me an email telling me that my tariff is ending and I should address it. I tried to contact them for some information to no avail. I am going to change supplier as I cannot stand it any longer.
Be warned stay away.
