Sent them a private message on FB Sunday night asking 3 simple questions.

Do we have an online account? Able to input monthly meter readings? Are smart meters required?

Answered the next day but greeted with "can you confirm your full address and postcode, email address linked to the account and d.o.b?" Then told them what to do and dont deserve any business. They soon come back grovelling.

Frustrating as it is but under the data protection laws they have to verify it is you.

Can I ask how people are managing to contact Utility Point? I've tried emailing them last week and haven't had a reply.  Live chat doesn't appear available and their phone lines just aren't answered.

Update
The email address should read [email protected]
Not as the above.

Well I think it's fair that I post to tell people that UP eventually replied to the email sent on 31/12/2020.  I am assuming they are working late hours, as the email was sent well after 9pm last night.

I tried 0345 557 7878 and did find a way through the automated guff to a real person who promised me £30 compensation.

Also I started a case on resolver.co.uk

I got an email acnowledgement from UP saying they would pay me the £76.26 they owe me within 10 days. That was in  November-2019. I've received nothing. I left them in August! I won't be rushing back.

Is the ombudsman any use?

Without any communication with me, I discovered that Utility Point have paid me my £76.26 plus £30 late payment compensation, so it has taken 5 months to resolve, but it is resolved. They might have told me they had paid me, but they didn't.
