Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply

 

 

Should Eon sent me a letter telling me, The date,time and at which court if I wished to attend?

 

Also after obtaining the warrant do Eon, need to notify me what day they are coming and an approximate time,

So some one could be in?

Thanks Malc

 

I did not receive this letter,

The only paper work I received was from the Eon Rep who knocked at the door when my wife was in.

He had written the date of the court but nothing else,

I would have gone to the court as I was sorting things out with Eon,

I had stated that I would have had the PPM to avoid the extra £250.00 that you charge.

 

With regards to turning up with out notice, can I ask why this is because it would be better if some one was in .

Also are the Police meant to be with your Representative,so they can gain entry.

Thanks Malc

You have been selective with your answers so far

I understand what you are saying regards the police, but if you know who the problem clients are there should be no problem notifying any one else.

 

My beef as such is I was not notified when and where it was going to court so I had no chance to have my say.

which resulted in extra added to my bill.

Is here any thing I can do about this with Eon customer services or do I need to take my complaint further

Thanks

Well Dilettante

 

This was not my experience

They did not follow procedure.I want to check if they did, And I am sure they did not,

as I was not notified of the court time and which court, as I would have attended.

I was in the process of sorting this out,

only a small payment was needed, they were to inform me the exact amount,

 

But they went ahead and obtained a warrant at an extra cost too myself.

 

Thank you for post informative

Do you work for one of these companies???

Hi Dlettante

 

I was not suggesting you had a hidden agenda,

 

You seem very knowlageable with the way thing are done,

 

I wanted to make sure that the book was followed,

I have had dealings with Eon before,

The meter reader was reading the rates the wrong way round,

So my bill would increase, when they realised.

I rang them, to let them know what was going on,

and was told that I was wrong they do not make mistakes.

Eventuly I spoke to some one who would listen,

then back dated 4 years of readings and wanted the money instantly.

 

not happy as you can guess but that is in the past now

I do not trust Eon

I just want to pay the correct and fair amount.

Hi Malc

 

Thanks for your reply

 

Well apparently My complaint was looked into and was closed but no one had told me,

 

I Kicked up a fuss and now it is being looked at again by the right people.

it was only because I insisted that it was reopened

How could they investigate with out getting the fact from the person who complained.

 

The thing is I was trying to get info from Eon to put in an official complaint.

 

I have 3 issues 1 is this thread,

 

All of a sudden I am now being kept informed of whats going on,

2 phone calls in the space of 2hrs.

 

I think if I had not insisted it would have been swept under carpet

 

In the past I would have let it go.

I will take this further if the explanation of there final response is not satisfactory.

 

That does not mean I will go further if my complaint is not up held.

 

Leakie

[Leakie]

Well I Had a result

 

I was correct they had not followed procedure,

 

They have now withdrawn the warrant fee,

 

I just goes to show that you should not just accept the first response if it goes against you.

if you have done your research correctly be persistent but polite.

 

1 complaint upheld

2 being checked out.

 

Leakie

[Leakie]

Well I have had all 3 complaints resolved,

 

1 I got the warrant fee back, ( they admitted that they did not follow procedure)

 

2 Bad langue from there installer, an off the cuff comment when he thought I was out of earshot,

If he had said it to my face he would have been down the stairs and through the door before it had opened.

My word against the Eon operatives (verbal warning)

 

3 Incorrect meter readings possibly a faulty meter ( Partial refund)

 

All of the above were only resolved when I refused to close the complaints and when the managers got involved,

Before that I was being fobbed off.

 

I also stated that I would take this all the way to the ombudsman, and Ofgem, and I knew that it would cost them for each complaint.

 

May be a little blackmail

 

Overall I am happy with the result.

 

Moral is don't accept the first resolution unless you are happy with it. if not don't let them close the complaint.
