Does anybody have a telephone number to contact them on? My wife has been going round in circles with their systems, trying to sort out the non delivery of an order. If she uses the email option all she receives is very obviously automatically generated replies. The 'chat' facility is also 'staffed' by bots and if you…

Attempted scam on my mother of someone impersonating me. How may they have gotten relevant info?
You may instantly say it is easy due to all the information people post online now but I have never done that, being very security conscious, and besides seeing it as gratuitous, and while she is less careful than me she is elderly and is not one to be posting her life online like current younger generations. Little bits…

OPs deleting original thread
Is it just me that gets annoyed by this or am I not alone ? There needs to be something in place (appart from quoting) to stop this happening. An option to “blacklist”/ignore certain posters would be handy (is there one?) Really grates me that people spend time and effort responding, just for the OP to have a paddy and…

Utility Warehouse unfair deals , existing Vs new customers
I have been a customer of utility warehouse for over 20 years and have 3 accounts .
