    just tried to book annual service - 21 months since the last one; can't book it online and the web chat threw me out of the system saying all agents busy!

    now they tell me earliest date is 28th april so no service within the current annual contract period; i'm asking for compensation  but don't hold much hope for getting it

    We pay for electrical cover within the Homecare cover and had an issue with the electrics in the kitchen. They would not come out because it was not an emergency. We had to engage an private contractor. I phoned BG and they offered £20.00. However I have gone down the complaint route for the full amount for £70.00. We will see what happens.
    Pleased to report BG upheld my complaint and refunded me the £70.00.  Also they were very quick in resolving the issues. Well done to them!
