I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole0

Anyone got any opinions yet?
They are a £40 saving over my current tariff.0 -
I've just submitted an on-line switch via Energy Helpline & after I'd finished it said 14 days cooling off & 5 weeks to switch! I hope not. I'll let you know how I get on.0

Under the terms of its supply licence, Bristol Energy has up to 5 weeks - from the date of application to switch - to transfer your supply. Three day switches after the end of the cooling off period are nothing more than an unenforceable OFGEM target.0 -
I'm considering switching to them. Nathan94, are you able to share for reasons for not wanting anything to do with them?0

They don't answer the phone and take ages to respond to any other communication method
When they do contact you, they send you confusing and contradictory information
They don't put you on the tariff you request.
They increase your monthly payments
Their website is useless
They don't take meter readings, aand ignore the ones you supply yourself
Billing is a complete shambles

I echo the warning - AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Bristol Energy! Submitted a switch (gas) to Bristol Energy over 3 weeks ago but have not had any contact from them - no idea what is happening and when the supply will transfer. Chased this a week ago and was promised a response within 5 days and lo and behold those 5 days are now up and still no contact from them. I have no idea if the switch is going through or not. If this is how they treat customers during the important honeymoon period when they take their new business, then I fear what the next 12 months will hold. If I knew how bad they are I would not have gone near them with a barge pole. Totally unacceptable service - they don't deserve our business.0

I've been with them a few months now. Switch went fine and when I contacted them for a credit refund it was dealt with straight away, unlike my gas supplier.0

I've been with them for about 6 weeks now.
Been locked out of my online account twice. First time was unlocked easily. This time, there's been no reply to my email.
Definitely not got the password wrong and the error messages are useless.
Phoned them up, but apparently they can only access accounts between 9am and 5pm on Monday-Friday. It seems as though they employ a telephone answering service to pick up calls outside these times.
Not a very good company for those who work 9-5 and want to adminster their account during the evenings and weekends.0
