@GeorgeMallory19 @LJGLA_ British Gas subcontractors illegally break into the homes of vulnerable people and force them onto prepayment meters, knowing they can’t afford it, but this guy doesn’t see that as a major human rights issue b/c Qatar. Lmao. Typical Brit. Absolutely shameful. Disgusting.

@PeteNugent @GOVUK Once you fall behind they put your rate to £1.60 a kwh. #britishgas then threaten to install a card pay and go type meter . Imagine that in a cafe, it's now closed down and will eventually dissolve owing almost a £5000 electric bill :(.

@BritishGas not impressed that an engineer came to fix my boiler today, replaced parts but left me without hot water. Earliest you can come and remedy your error is Thursday? Bit of a joke that. Won’t be using your home care service in the future!

@BritishGasHelp No need. We've got one of your crappy IHD attached to our crappy Pre-payment smart meters, which tells me how much of our dosh you're leaching off of us.
our consumption is not the issue, it's your prices. I could buy Unicorn Turd for less than a unit of gas!

Hi @BritishGas @BritishGasHelp - is it correct (as I have been informed by your call centre) that your smart meter software is down for most of the UK and has been for the last six weeks meaning you’re unable to gather accurate readings?

.@BritishGas is by far the worst company I’ve dealt with
I opened a complaint with them a month ago about a smart meter issue. They said they would respond within 21 days… nothing.
My account is also excessively in credit. I called and they said they would refund me… nothing.
