No stars would have been ideal

No stars would have been more realistic.
Customer service bots as humans don’t exist. Took 4 weeks to be able to change to a better company. They kept denying the change as previous tenants hadn’t paid the bill. Contacted them every few days and reassured me that this was sorted but took 4 weeks. Diabolical service. So glad that I’ve finally gone to Scottish Power who have humans answering the phone!!!!

Plumbing engineer due today

Plumbing engineer due today. Sat in waiting had text saying be with me shortly never turned up. Chased up on phone was told that the engineer came but nobody was in. Around the same time he was due i had already answered and received 3 parcels? The doorbell never rung no knock on door i was even looking out window to keepchecking for engineer. Apparently i am a lair as they say his tracking was near my house? Day off work for nothing now cant get it done till monday but im at work so have requested time after 3pm. We have grand kids to stay from tuesday so not ideal.refused to send someone today. Lets hope the buses are running on time on monday. You pay all this money to be called a lair. Complaint raised.
