    Currently waiting for a gas meter replacement by EDF. After it was stolen on 19th October 2011.
    After notifying everyone could not understand why it is taking so long to replace it and why EDF and Gas Emergency Service cannot decide who was suppose to replace it. I am carer and found it distressing and as my brother who has learning disabilities. We are told to wait until Monday as it is not seen as an emegency.

  2. Ms Dixon says:

    The update about my gas meter replacement is that the next available appointment for this
    would be November 4th 2011!

  3. Ms Dixon says:

    Maybe there is an impression that I am a lady of leisure who can afford to dine out everyday. especially without a microwave.
    The reality is that I cannot afford this, going without gas. As for brother he is anxious.
    Had to call consumer direct.

    I have spent hours & hours trying to get through to “customer service” just excuse after excuse about their poor system and soon they will have a new system!. Meanwhile, no matter how slow they are at answering their phone calls. They are fast enough to pass your details to a debt collection agency when you can’t get through to them to pay your bill. Totally incompetent “customer service” staff when you do finally get to speak to someone. “customer services” may need to consider rebranding themselves “customer no-services”. Where’s the star rating for minus stars?

  5. june wheeler says:

    Tried to submit meter readings on line got absolutely nowhere,they have also increased my monthly debit payment without contacting me first. Anyone know of a reliable energy company? I am having to do a1 star rating why? as I do not feel edf deserve any rating.

  6. ella farmer says:

    One wk I put 10 on and it’s fine .. next wk I put 10 on again the meter runs straight through, then top up again and left with 3 credit and no emergency. It’s been like this for quit a few months. Anybody else having this prob ???

  7. Mo says:

    Absolutely ridiculous I live overseas and have been trying to pay a deceased person’s bill – i’m kept on hold for 45 minutes from North America. I have had to Beg FOR THE bill then they send it with no address for me to return it to. THE PEOPLE who answer the phone don’t take the information properly. It takes 10 days or more for them to reply to an email.

  8. T E Cawthra says:

    I still cannot view my bill and the way I have worked it out by deducting the £19.36cr from the£747 that I had paid into EDF means My bill must have been in the region of £728 must be an error please check again

  9. T E Cawthra says:

    I have been trying for over two weeks to find out what my bill is and I still don’t know what it is. I have regestered with EDF and still unable to view my bill. I have been with this company since they bought out London Electric whom I was with for years before
