If I could give 0 stars I would, rang Scottish power in July to see about changing to them. Asked 3 different people if I could get new smart meters and an in home energy monitor, all 3 said I would and would be within 2 weeks of going live, since then I have had a barrage of lies, the customer service is completely non existent, I have requested call backs, these never happen, raised a complaint, no one updates you, been hung up on more times than enough, been lied to so many times it’s beyond a joke, had apparently 2 appointments booked for engineer to visit, waited in, no one tuned up called Scottish power to be told the job hadn’t even been sent to the contractor, here it is almost 15 weeks later and I still don’t have a resolution or a meter fitted, just also spelt o someone in the complaints team to request a manger call back and she hung up on me after waiting in another 4 hours for no one to turn up, avoid like the plague, these people are completely useless

Any chance we can have a minus star rating. Worse company going,had to get ombudsman involved, thought we'd solved the problem,no chance, I've had to contact ombudsman again as you can't get any sense out of Scottish Power, I've even tried emailing their CEO but a month later I'm still waiting for him to reply. I don't owe very much and can't wait to pay it off so that I can change supplier.

Thank you for your very prompt response and action today. My elderly father lives alone in Dorset and lost power due to the extreme weather conditions we are experiencing 2/11/2023 . You clearly prioritised him due to his age and vulnerability and identified and located his issue. He now has power . Can’t thank you enough 👍

Avoid Avoid Avoid. I stupidly switched Gas to them from British Gas but when I found out days later what their standard tariffs were for my pay as you go meter, I changed my mind. They don't change meters! They won't let me go even though I cancelled within the cooling off period. I've been maintaining my payments with British Gas to this day now. Their staff at Scottish Power are dumb. Can't resolve anything. Just pass the bucket. I give up. They kept me on the same payment for 19 months DD for electricity. So I believe I've been ripped off. Changed my electricity to British Gas so BG supply both now. Their reps have a clue, oh my days, the differences in intelligence..... Just waiting for the ombudsman as my complaints fall on deaf ears Scottish Power will try to put any price on a debt. I left a previous house I was paying regular amounts for, they said I owed them £2000. How? The amount of people going back to British Gas....

Not solved meter problem, for over a year. No Smart meter possible, as no signal, but they won't provide a booster. Billing incorrect for over a year and they are retaining 3K of my money. Terrible company.

I really have a problem with the Scottish Powers Direct Debit controls. They provide no control for the consumer, just for the company to hold more of your money. SP are holding over £1,600 of my money 'in credit' and my monthly payments are £211. But try and reduce the monthly payment by £30 per month and they ask for a one of payment of over £350 ie 12 x the monthly reduction I would like to make. Its dishonest and disgraceful. Please think very carefully about signing up with Scottish Power.

Trying to get someone unanswered the phone without listening to 50 options is a miracle. Since installing the smart meter I'm not in debt! Got to leave this ridiculous company.

I made direct debit agreements sat on the phone for over an hour but get nothing but harassment off them saying I haven’t. I’m stuck with Scottish power and I don’t want to be. I’ve spent a whole winter freezing because I have an immersion heater and storage heaters which are not good, I cannot use them. Too expensive. I want away from Scottish power altogether it’s even made me regret moving to this house. Just awful service and like I said I am stuck with them!

Unbelievably inefficient, rude, no customer service at all. Have been waiting 8 weeks for an engineer to come out so we can install a new boiler, finally turned up today for us to be told he can’t fix a 3 phase boiler. Phoned SP who promptly put the phone down on me. How do they get away with this? My official complaint states that my husband is a vulnerable person they just don’t care. Do not go anywhere near SP diabolical company.

Customer service & complaints are just USELESS in this company. Have already taken them to the ombudsman twice and had resolved in my favour. So today another problem with a bill. Call them go through it all, they admit the error BUT because it was there system error they will NOT rectify it. As a customer how are we responsible for their systems?? Then told as i have been to the ombudsman before, I had better go that route again?? This company is truly appalling. On another matter asked to speak to another department in the same company only to be told "We dont speak to them and you cant either" If you have emailed this other dept which I already have was told "If they have not replied just keep emailing them" A watchdog with TEETH needs to bite this company where it hurts.
