Easy and Smooth Experience

I had a great experience setting up a new account for my energy this afternoon with Emma Ray. She was very patient with me as i had many questions as its one of the first time setting up bills. She explained everything in good detail with a calm and friendly tone which made easy for me to understand the best tariff i needed.

An EDF engineer was due to arrive between 8am and 12 noon. 12.30 arrived but the engineer didn't. I received no text, email or the like!
When I contacted customer service they told me the appointment had been cancelled by them! With barely an apology I was told it had been cancelled at 12.05 and they couldn't tell me the reason why! I said a courtesy text or call would have been appreciated, instead of me having to wait on the phone, costing me more valuable time and money. When I booked the appointment I was told that I must cancel earlier than 24hrs prior to the visit, if i needed to. Should I fail to do that I would be charged.
Should I charge EDF for my wasted time I wonder🤔 I have now got to make another appointment...who knows if they will turn up!

Hi, we are truly sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you had with the cancelled appointment. Unfortunately this can happen if the engineers previous job runs over or called out to an emergency, if we have not provided you 24 hours notice of the cancellation you will be entitled to compensation, we will update you directly regarding this failure and the compensation. Apologies once again, Sy⚡

Finally peace of mind

I had a very satisfactory experience with Shaun who unravelled the ongoing problems that I have experienced with EDF. He helped sort out a repayment plan that worked for me, unlike when i have spoken with operators for EDF in far flung places, that manage to fail to communicate important details, misinform and generally don't ring back when we have agreed a time to further go through what needs to be discussed. EDF have a very poor set- up when it comes to speaking with operators who are based outside Europe and it leaves the customer in a very dissatisfied frame of mind. Improvements are definitely required and constant mistakes must be addressed.

Told I would get a phone call

Told I would get a phone call, no call sent a blind person an email. Not very helpful, no respect knowing I am blind. Having been told that they keep sending text messages that I also cannot see as I am blind

Excellent Advice and reassurance

After calling EDF today your employee Daniel was there to help. He was very calm, confident and helpful. He looked into our issue and explained what had gone wrong on our account, correcting it whilst I was in the phone with him. Daniel was able to rectify the issue and then advise me on the best way forward for the way which we use our electricity as a household.
Daniel, thanks so much for you calm manner and reassurance through out our phone call, I have come away from our conversation feeling well advised, fulling understanding what to expect with no concerns! You’re a credit to your company! Thanks again!

Thanks to Claire for saving your embarrassment.

Claire was a very polite,helpful and efficient agent. She took the problem and made sure it was dealt with. I received written confirmation of the action taken. Please congratulate her on her performance.

I would also like to say your accounting system is poor and on several occasions in the last 2 years I have had to query the logic of the bills you send. Thank goodness you have people like Claire to resolve account issues.
