    Can not get a bill from them they say they send one every 6 months have now been in our flat 2 years but still no bill and I pay monthly by D/Debit. I am going to switch as although I’ve asked for bills they never send them.

  2. Mark Price says:

    Great company. Never had a problem with them.
    Every year I compare the prices of all energy suppliers and I change supplier to the one offering the best deal for me.
    I have changed from and to Scottish power on three occasions and I have never had a problem with them. My changeover of supplier has always been problem free and my bills have always been correct.
    I can’t understand why some people seem to fall through the system and have so many problems. I think that in some cases the public need to communicate better and if they are getting nowhere by phone then either ask to speak to someone else or write to the company. This company can not block people from switching provider so I can’t understand why some people here say that they have done this to them. Just visit U-switch and use the link on there dummies.

    Scottish power to me has a zero rating, two adults in the house always been in credit, new meter fitted and all of a sudden payments went up, now in debt, haven’t had a bill since jan 2010 and both out working from 7am till 7pm and they tell me I’m using more electricity than last year, totally disgusting and out of order.

    Ridiculously expensive, I’ve got storage heaters, hardly ever put them on, even in winter – bills work out to £40 plus a week!!!
    Don’t sign up with Scottish Power.

  7. David Carke says:

    Scottish Power will not agree my change to another supplier until they have spent a month harassing me not to change. This company will do anything not to lose customers for their overpriced services. A switch should take 4 weeks – I am into my 2nd month because Scottish power are dragging their heels over the switch.

  8. Gaffer says:

    Utterly rubbish company, don’t supply bills, rip you off by ‘forgetting’ to advise you of standing charges on an empty property etc etc etc

    Don’t go near them unless you want high bills with rubbish customer service

  9. Martin says:

    Since 2009 our monthly charges to Scottish Power have been increased by over 40% while our level of consumption is broadly unchanged. We have found their response to emails is poor – either no reply or they fail to deal with the issue being raised. Our current tariff claims to be ‘discounted’ but as far as I can tell this amounts to little more than 2%.
    At the end of our contract we will be finding another supplier.
