And I tried to start up service with them for my electricity. And instead of doing that, they send me an email trying to coerce me to go in and set up an account on their portal. I don't want to use a portal. I have 5,000 accounts and I have 15,000 portals and I have 6 million passwords and I don't want it. They have my email address; they can contact me through my email address. Why is this rocket science?
You have my name. Find it yourself. This isn't rocket science.

The process for cancellation is very difficult and opaque
The process for cancellation is so difficult one can never be sure it is done as you don't even send a confirmation or anythiing and I have no records to prove that I requested a cancellation. This was the main reason I did not take the Vattenfall contract with me to the new house.

Bad support
Bad support, there is a problem with my contract and nobody cares about it at all.

Easy and good.

Your service has been absolutely criminal. You have been sending me reminders of electrity usage since beginning of September, that does not exist (claiming retrospective liabilities for over a year period), with a threat to shut down electricity flow completely. I've sent several messages through your website portal to solve this. I've called your customer service several times without valid explanations.
As a customer I still don't know what has triggered this chase against me, but the feeling I'm left about Vattenfall is extremely underwhelming. Both from the responsiveness of your customer service and from the behaviour of some of your customer agents (one of the three I discussed with was ok). With this experience I'll be happy to change my electricity provider when the opportunity arises.

The online service was prompt and helpful for me.
I will appreciate having my bill as at when due to avoid extra charges.
The worst distributor ever
The worst distributor ever! Unbelievable rude on the phone, I was paying 103€ month fees and am living alone and how they wanted to charger 118€. Go and F yourself! This is insane! You will never get money from me again!!!

Very inappropriate service
Very inappropriate service, costing too much, no flexibility. Why it is not possible to terminate the contract before 2 years? Why dont you have any other alternative? Even after informing about the situation, why don't you terminate the contracts? Deducting double the price is normal, how ??
And your service center says you have it all online, where ??

Keeps messing up my PW
Everytime I want to login it says my pw is wrong. Upon changing, it says I cannot use the same. But why was it then wrong in the first place? Happens quite often, makes you wonder, if they are actually in control of _anything_.
Furthermore, really annoying interpretation of two-factor auth, since they send an email with a code. But I anyway have to change my PW almost every time, then obviously I have access to that email. What is then the added security?

As a new subscriber am waiting for a good and quality service. Which am believing it will definitely be good,
Super gut Service.
Unacceptable Customer Service
I pay my regular Vattenfall bill on time every month. Yet since February, I've been harassed with invoices for a fake contract and a wrong meter number.
Despite sending 50+ emails, making dozens of calls, visiting in person, and providing written proof from my Hausverwaltung, Vattenfall ignored everything and handed this bogus debt over to an Inkasso collection agency.
Risking a customer's SCHUFA rating in Germany over a clear internal error is reckless and unprofessional. Avoid this company!

The information was presented clearly
The information was presented clearly. I had little trouble following the instructions. The Kunden information was checked and compaired, found correct. The hidden information keeps unwanted eyes from finding personal information. I hope all goes well.
