Hi Ian,
We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the charges on your latest bill and understand why the difference between your energy usage and the overall bill has prompted questions.
Having reviewed the account, your supply is currently registered as a Half-Hourly meter. This type of meter can attract higher standing charges, which is contributing to the overall cost of your bill and is separate from the electricity you've consume.
If you believe the current meter classification is no longer appropriate for your premises, you can contact your Distribution Network Operator, National Grid, to discuss whether the supply can be reclassified. You can then opt for a smart meter.
We're happy to explain the individual charges on your Yü Energy bill so you have a clear understanding of how the total has been calculated.
have been insured with markel for my company and liability insurance, having renewed with them this year on the same direct debit plan and had an email confirmation of a setup of what the payment per month were to be only to find they took the whole years premium in one go, called them they said they would call back but never did had to chase and then to be told simply someone had pressed the wrong button and now i have to wait up to 10 days for a refund, for a large company a poor excuse for the reason and bad customer service.
poor service, one of those company that seem to always be experiencing high call volumes, ie no staff employed, that's after you get through 10 different options from an annoying automated message and also being told all information is on the app which clearly if your calling isn't on there, card easy to use, any issues forget it!!

Hello Ian,
Thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
We understand how frustrating it is to face long wait times and multiple menu options, especially when you need support and can’t find the answer on the app. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
Your comments on call volumes and accessibility are taken seriously, and we’re actively looking at how we can improve both our resourcing and the ease of getting through to the right person quickly. It’s also helpful to hear that the card itself is easy to use, but we recognise that when issues arise, support needs to be just as straightforward.
We tried to reach via Trustpilot but we did not hear back from you...
Went to sainsburys wytmoor village 2 days before christmas day, early to be told all the turkeys had sold out, also all the pork had sold out then to be told they didnt know if they were having any more in, disgraceful, i have been a sainsbury shopper for years and will now not be visiting them anymore very let down and very dissapointed in the lack of even trying to find out if deliveries were due in.
worst phone service ever, no staff, no answers, awful organisation to deal with, hope reform get in and kick out the imbecilics currently running the council holding for 40mins so far, they send requests for you to speak to them advised you will be in trouble if you don't, then they have no staff to answer the call disgusting, if it was a proper company they would all be sacked , just awful
terrible, called 3 times to get a meter fitted, told was being put through left hanging, we use 125000kws per year good numbers yet this company cannot even be bothered to answer the phone, guess thier making far to much money to care

Hi Ian, thanks for your review and apologies for our delay in response, we've had lots of interest in ClearScore recently and we appreciate your patience at this time. We appreciate your comments and I’m sorry you’re not happy with our available offers. All the products you see on ClearScore are based on the information provided by you in the 'My Account' section, and on a ‘soft search’ of your credit report. If the information is incorrect in your ‘My Account’ section, you’ll need to update it so you’re able to see the most suitable offers for you. If your address is showing incorrectly, please let us know your full current address and the date (month and year) you moved in so we can amend it. Sometimes we might show you higher APR products is because after viewing your credit file, we can see that this shouldn’t affect you. To clarify, higher APR cards often have better incentives or offers attached to them (such as 0% purchase periods, cash-back, air-miles etc.) and are usually reserved for people with higher credit scores. As long as you’re making your repayments each month, or taking advantage of 0% purchase offers, this shouldn’t affect you. If all of the information in your ClearScore account is correct, these will be the products that we can offer you at this point in time. This is based on the criteria provided to us by our lender partners. If you’re unhappy with the products available to you, it’s worth checking back soon as we do update these on a regular basis. We're constantly working to improve our offers and increase the number of partners we work with. I hope this information helps you. Many thanks, Haylee
