Impossible to Get Hold Of

Completely dysfunctional customer phone system, it doesn’t matter whether you dial in yourself and carefully follow the menus and enter all your details perfectly, you’ll end up in the wrong place and be transferred multiple times before giving up after 30 wasted minutes. One Customer Services Rep I spoke to sounded utterly defeated saying it’s been a difficult place to work the last few months. I’m attempting to cancel my switch to Shell Energy because of this, currently queue number 100 in the online chat, wish me luck… read more

2 Wasted hours

I phoned Shell Energy to discuss my tariff. I spent 2hrs being put on hold being transferred and cut off. I can’t imagine a worse service. read more

I think your services are absolutely…

I think your services are absolutely terrible!!!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Absolute joke of a company. How do they get away with this ignorance?

After being with shellenergy for 2 years, everything seemed fine. Until I went to switch. All of a sudden I owed them £700, even though i provided readings every 3 months. Fair enough, they have obviously ignored my meter readings to get me into debt with them, so that when it comes to switching I can’t. Underhand tactics but I decided to set up a payment plan. read more

Awful awful awful

Awful service. Can’t get hold of anyone. Have referred us to debt collectors twice for a bill that was from the previous tenants of the property, and have even contacted my parents who live elsewhere and have nothing to do with this? read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY! The door to door sales agents will lie to you in order for you to initiate a switch of energy and earn their own commission. A sales advisor told me that my balance would be transferred over to my new supplier during the switch, which is why they required a credit check to be run, while my ongoing energy supply would be cheaper. This was absolutely not the case, my old supplier have debited over £700 from my bank account this morning and Shell energy are unable to offer any help to resolve this at all, I asked to reverse the switch and they have advised this will cost a further £100. I am appalled at the level of misrepresentation and service supplied by the company and I urge anyone considering to switch to avoid them at all costs! I don’t rate British Gas’ service at all but you would be far better off! read more

EXTRACT FROM SCOTTISH SUN ARTICLE PUBLISHED 15 SEPT 2020

ALMOST 700,000 people have lost their jobs since the start of the pandemic, official figures reveal.

There are now 2.7million Brits claiming unemployment benefits — a leap of 120 per cent since March, when lockdown began.

The latest jobless total, announced yesterday by the Office for National Statistics, means the unemployment rate is at 4.1 per cent, up from 3.9 per cent previously.

And with five million workers still on furlough, experts are warning of more devastating losses when the scheme comes to an end next month. read more

Staggering incompetence

Staggering incompetence. They have held up a switch for 4 months already through repeating the same mistakes and not informing me of when they encounter problems as a result. They refuse to agree compensation or waive exit fees for a service they have not even provided so I am completely locked in, despite their admission the fault lies with them. read more

Rubbish Broadband and even worse customer service

I’ve been having broadband issues for the past two months, numerous phone calls and emails yet the standard response is too many devices, which I’ve proven to not be the issue by providing tests over Ethernet with only one device connected. Anyway the majority of devices are smart bulbs, smart plugs and a thermostat, leaving only a laptop and TV.

The pings spike up to 8000ms and nothing will load not even the Google homepage. Also the guaranteed speed range is 8-14Mbps yet I regularly get as low as 0.5Mbps, again they don’t see that to be an issue. Their advisors don’t know what pings are so their answer is that I need fibre when in reality they just need to fix my broadband. read more

Unethical, dishonest, greedy & dishonourable

Unethical (persuaded 85 year old to switch whilst shopping in Asda). Misleading (direct debit fell far short of usage & so accumulated a huge debt). Dishonest (agreed her repayment proposal & then additionally took an extra £100 by direct debit). Greedy (want to charge an exit fee). Dishonourable (blocked her move to another energy provider). Unreasonable length of time to get through to customer service. Agents pleasant & sympathetic but they have no authority.

Don’t trust! They lied to my face to get me to switch to them!

I switched to shell because they told me the standing charges were a lot less than I was initially paying and trusted I was being told the truth as it was face to face in my own gome. I never had anything to show me the rates and couldn’t access my online account for months and when I finally could I realised I was paying more than double! When I contacted them they told me as it was a face to face sign up there was nothing they could do as it was my word against their’s! So far in 8 months it cost me about £400 more than if I’d stayed with British gas so I would definitely not trust or recommend them ever! read more

Do not use Shell Broadband as your WiFi provider

Some advice for your advisors: if they take a phone call, ensure they do what they say they will do. Been pestered to pay a bill I do not even owe due to your employees’ stupidity for months now. Impossible to call you unless you want to spend over an hour on hold. Don’t bother emailing, the ‘1 day sla’ is now 2 weeks and still no response

THE worse Internet provider ever!!

THE worse Internet provider ever!!! Keep constantly cutting out, the signal is weak. Im working from home hence to shell I lost earning!!!! THE WORSE EXPERIENCE!!! read more

Utterly diabolical customer service

Utterly diabolical customer service. Please avoid at all costs – they are cheap for a reason.

I’ve repeatedly spent hours on the phone to customer service trying to resolve poor internet speed and non-existent customer support. I’ve been charged for engineer call outs when the issue was not fixed and remained open on their systems for a further 3 weeks. I’ve been promised call backs which don’t occur. No accountability on their behalf, no authorisation in customer service to make any decisions or provide any help. read more

Switched over to shell for all utilities and broadband

Its been the worst customer service ever
they do not respond to emails, they take hours to answer a call
they did not resolve the problem of my complaint of being over charged. Dont make the same mistake as me. go elsewhere

Left hand doesn’t know what…

So far the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.

I’m trying to switch via uSwitch and now over 26 days later I’m still attempting this. Shell energy are telling uswitch I don’t have a Economy 7 meter but an Economy 10 meter instead.

However when I ring up shell energy and speak to sales (Sean) they tell me I have an Economy 7 but they cannot offer me the tariff on uSwitch directly. read more
