Killed my kitten
My little kitten was killed by a speeding British gas van on Friday 11th February. The person who saw him hit my little kitten at speed has told me that he knew he had hit her as she said he slowed down and she thought he was stopping, but he didn't! It took 4 complete strangers to deal with the mess he had left behind and one of these people took her to the vet so she could find her way home...I'd like to point out that where we live is an advisory 20mph but legal is 30mph, he was doing a lot more than this according to the vet to do the damage that was done to Jessie who was only 6 months old! The carelessness of that driver has devastated my 2 children and my partner, caused so much heartache it's unreal. If he wasn't going well in excess of the speed limit she may have stood a chance and to think he was driving a flashed up van and seen by members of the public doing it he still left her in the middle of the road!

Boiler instalation
Over the last six or so years we have fought with British gas to repair then replace our boiler, it has never worked correctly since it was installed by British Gas in 2004.

Because of the huge number of times the engineer was called to do repairs, the monthly service agreement fee went up.

The last time it was repaired the local service manager did the repairs and said because of the faults with the boiler and the fact that parts that should have been fitted from new and never were he would get the service cost dropped for a year.

My wife has a brain tumour and this is terminal the service manager was very sympathetic and said he would sort things out, we have not heard from him, we have left messages and tried the number he left us many times, as neither of us work (my wife because of her terminal illness and me because I'm her carer) we now not afford the monthly cost as they had gone up so high.

I'm very unhappy and feel British gas should have replaced the boiler when they said they would. The hospital and nurses have said I should write again as we have no hot water. This is my last attempt to get it replaced before we go to press and expose British gas for the chain of mistakes blunders and lies.


I have tried and tried to be heard with no success. I'm my wife's carer and have just had a gangrene appendicitis removed and the struggle is much worse now. we have problems getting hot water, what will happen in the winter with no heat ??

Complete Disgrace - Do not sign up to these guys. Customer Service, non-existent, back-office, non-existent, money collection - top class.

For the past three years, we have been with British Gas on a 4-year fixed contract to supply our gas. Recently they've tried to charge us 99p per unit!!! Our contract is only 2.31p with no standing charge!! They admitted it was wrong and re-billed us.

BUT THEN... I look at all our previous bills for the past three years and it turns out that they've been screwing us over - charging us a standing charge of 99p per day, every day for the past 3 years... That's almost £1, 000!! To make things worse, they've been charging us out of contract prices - anywhere between 3 - 12p per unit!!

Ringing them up - they denied that we ever had a contract - it was a good job that we actually kept it. Faxed it over... no sound from them... Had to ring over 10 times to get someone to say - yes, something went wrong..

Now it turns out that they owe us thousands of pounds... and they claimed it was sorted back in October last year!!?? I dont' know what planet they're from, but we recieved no information, no goodwill gesture and they've profited by way of interest and overcharging us...

In fact, I'm covinced that it hasn't been sorted as I have bills from October 2008 - this year dictating that they have been charging out of contract charges.

And did I mention that everytime I ring, everytime I ask for GAS CUSTOMER SERVICES, I get put through to none other than BOILER SALES!! And when I finally asked for the guy's name (it was the same guy who put me through to boiler sales 4 times), he got stroppy and asked for my name and never gave me his name.

DISGRACE - BRITISH GAS HAS PROFITED BY RIPPING ME OFF FOR YEARS AND HAS THE CHEEK TO NOT EVEN GIVE ANY GOODWILL GESTURE OR INTEREST. GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY LIKE OVO, EDF OR EVEN EON - JUST NOT BRITISH GAS.

I have sent them a letter dictating that they have broken their contract agreement and that I am well within my rights to change supplier early.

THEY ALSO NEED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME - FROM BRITISH GAS TO SOMETHING ELSE, LIKE METHANE GAS. THIS IS NOT THE WAY US BRITISH DO THINGS. SHAME ON BRITISH GAS.

REPAIRS
I HAVE BEEN WITH BRITISH GAS INSURRANCES FOR MANY YEARS NOW FOR ALL REPAIRS ON MY BOILER, HEATING, ELECTRICS, PLUMBING, KITCHEN APLIANCES, LOCKS, WINDOWS ROOF EXTRA. I HAVE THE FULL COVER WITH THEM BECAUSE I AM DISSABLED AND WANTED PIECE OF MIND THAT ALL WAS COVERED FOR EVERYTHING. 3MONTHS AGO MY BOILER PACKED UP AND MY EMERTION WAS NOT WORKING AS A BACK UP. SO I HAD NO HOT WATER NO HEATING. SO I CALLED BRITISH GAS 2 DAYS LATER THEY CAME OUT TO LOOK AT IT I WENT 2 WEEKS WITHOUT HEATING AND HOT WATER, WHILL THEY ORDERED THE PARTS. THEY DID IN THE END REPAIR THE BOILER AND REPLACE THE EMERSHION TANK. AND A WEEK LATER THE BOILER WENT AGAIN ITRIED TO USE THE EMERTOIN TANK THEY HAD PUT IN BUT THAT TO DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 9 CALL OUTS IN THE LAST 3MONTHS. THEY CAME IN AGAIN THIS WEEK TO SORT IT . I WAS TOLD BY THE ENGINER THAT THE ENGINER THAT HAD FITTED THE NEW EMERTION TANK HAD NOT RESET IT FROM FACTORY SETTING, SO HE DID THIS AND HE SAID IT SHOULD NOW WORK HOWEVER I HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET. MY BOILER HOW EVER HE WOULD HAVE TOORDER A PART. HE CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND REPAIRED THE BOILER 2 DAYS HAVE GONE BY AND GUESS WHAT NO BOILER WORKING AGAIN. I PHONED TO ASK FOR SOME ONE TO COME OUT AGAIN BUT GOT TOLD THAT THEY COULDNOT COME TILL SUNDAY BETWEEN 8AM-6PM. I WAS GOING OVER TO MY MUMS FOR HER TO COOK ME A DINNER . SO NOT ONLY WILL I NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT BUT I AM LEFT AGAIN WITH NO HEATING, , THEY HAVE AN ADVERT ON THE TV SAYINIG EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A BRITISH GAS CUSTOMER THERE IS ALWAY AN ENGINER NEAR BY TO SORT IT. WELL WHERE IS MINE . I AM DISSABLED LEFT INTHE COLD FRIGHTENED TO PUT ON THE HOT WATER IN CASE THAT ISN'T WORKING ETHER AS BEFORE. I THINK IT IS TERRIBLE THAT THEY CAN TREAT A DISSABLED PERSON SO, HOW DO THEY TREAT THEIR OTHER CUSTOMERS. I TOLD THEM WHEN I PHONED THAT I WAS DISSABLED AND THAT NOT ONLY CAN I NOT GO TO MY MUMS TO EAT BUT I MUST FREEZE TODEATH ALSO, BECAUSE AS THEIR ADVERT ON THE TV DOES NOT REALLY DO WHAT IT SAYS DOES IT.

Awful experience
British Gas have continued to mess up our electricity bill now for two years. At one point we i had even used over £400 of the children's trust fund to be free and clear of the constant cock ups, threatening letters and bills. Chritstmas 2007 was an all time low after British Gas sent bully boys to the house to threaten of power being cut off and telling my young daughter of the threat as i was out. We were lucky to have a professinal help us making lots of phone calls on our behalf. We were lead to believe this would be an end to it. In the meantime i have been informed that my direct debit was set too low so once again we have been put in a pit of debt again them saying we owe another £500 and have put our direct debit upto £115 a month from £41 a month. I have rang British Gas this week to explain that they have put me in an awful predicament, i am a young widow with three children. I felt i was patronised and told of energy saving tips that a monkey would know.

Awful, awful, awful
Arranged with this company to replace card meter with key meter as they requested, giving 7 days notice. They could not do the replacement on the Thursday we requested but offered Friday, with a representative setting up emergency supply on the Thursday so we could stay over, clean and use power. We had advised them we were travelling 200 miles for their appointment. Despite repeated calls on mobiles, costing £5 per time while they dithered about, nobody came out all day and we were totally unable to work or stay in the property.

Cost us petrol for 2 cars and labour cost for the builder we had taken with us, plus his labourer and at least £15 in lengthy phone calls to British Gas.

unpaid bill
My mother-in-law passed away 23/10/2006, leaving no estate, we informed all who needed informing about her passing, sending copies of her death, this includes british gas.
Over the next few months we kept getting letters from them asking for payment of the bill.Each time we replied by letter or phone.Each time thinking we shall hear no more, as this is upseeting for my husaband.

Yes we hear no more for 12 mnths, then today we get a letter from a debt agency threatening to take my mother-in-law to court!!!
How dare they, do they not understand she is DEAD?
I am appalled at their behaviour, do they not communicate at british gas?
