TREATING PENSIONERS LIKE THIS. JUST ANSWER ON HERE WHEN? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PAY UP. SHELL YOU ARE DISCUSTING!!!! BY THE WAY I HAVE LEFT MY MUMS ACCOUNT NUMBER WITH THIS REVIEW. read more

Another fine mess by Shell.

Just had my first bill after changing to fibre broadband and it should have been £32.88 per month. I didn’t get a first bill and was told I was in credit from paying in advance for my original broadband package of 2mbps with Post Office when it was migrated.
So no get billed is £196.54!!!! I ring and spend over half hour talking first to a computer then to Nazeem who says I had a call out charge added. I said yes as Openreach left cables to 5 houses disconnected after moving a telegraph pole. I was asked again if I requested a call out, well obviously as I had no phone/internet! Nazem contradicts a previous message that said if the engineer is called out for any reason there is a charge! Shell already paid me a weeks compensation for loss of service and yet I am still billed. Also no mention of how much I was in credit from my pre-change-over contract. Its like Fred Carnos Circus run by people with no idea on how to treat customers. As someone else said, another Talk Talk type company. Avoid at any price! read more

This company has the very worst…

This company has the very worst customer service in the planet. I was without internet for days. I work online and couldn’t work for 3 days and a half. They never sent an engineer. I saw an Openreach vsn, and the guy was good enough to come and check my connection. It was the router. The engineer sent his notes, and Shell should have sent the router. They wouldn’t. It was not the engineer that they sent, although it was an Openreach engineer, who was the only person who knew what SERVICE is. Horrible, unhelpful, terrible company. Good riddance. read more

Useless customer service

Absolutely atrocious customer service. I was switched by force due to Ofgem price cap and Pure Planet going bust. I couldn’t get a bill off this useless company for almost six months, despite having a smart meter. Then I got two within a short period of time totalling over £700 where normally I would pay less than half of that. They didn’t get meter readings for three and a half months and imposed a daily average calculated on my usage during the coldest months of the year. Absolute b*ll*nds! read more

DO NOT BUY fibrebroadband from these people. We are now 21 days past the go live date. Still not live. It is impossible to get to talk to some one so far I have been in ques for a total of over 9 hours. Still waiting for email enquiry to be answered 5 days after sending mesage to ask when Fibre will be installed?

Customer service was abysmal read more

Was switched to shell when previous company went bust. shell by far are the worst company I have ever delt with . 2 visits to fit a smart meter. Sending me a letter saying they have to increase my direct debit to over £400 a month way UNDER my usage.as I will not pay a ridiculous amount each month I cancelled the direct debit and simply pay each month for actual energy used not a penny more not a penny left. Shell have marked my credit file a month in arrears.but not updated it for over 3 months. Customer service is awful they simply too big to care as soon as I am able to switch I will be leaving my money be better spent elsewhere read more

Shell says its Nigeria asset sale not affected by court ruling

ABUJA, June 21 (Reuters) – Shell Plc (SHEL.L) has said its planned sale of onshore assets in Nigeria will go ahead and was not affected by a Supreme Court ruling in a case in which a Niger Delta community is seeking compensation for a 2019 oil spill.

Bamidele Odugbesan, spokesman for Shell in Nigeria, said the June 16 Supreme Court ruling was in response to an appeal launched by Shell against a contempt ruling linked to the dispute with the Niger Delta community.

The lawyer for the community said the ruling, which was made public on Monday, barred Shell from disposing its assets as ordered by a lower court in March.

“The Supreme Court ruling on 16 June was with respect to the contempt proceedings and not related to (the) onshore portfolio review,” Odugbesan said.

Shell has invited bids for its onshore assets. Odugbesan did not say how many bids had been received.

Eighty-eight communities in Rivers state were awarded $1.95 billion compensation for an oil spill they blamed on Shell and which damaged their farms and waterways. Shell denies causing the spill. read more read more

Incompétence

After they wanted to increase my monthly payment from £31 to £43 I decided to finish I was ask to return my Router in the pre payed bag at the post office & I got a recipe with a tracking number & a few days later it was delivered. But I received 2 emails saying I hadn’t returned it, I said you are wrong & gave them the tracking number & it’s taken 2 weeks to admit I was right. I did stop my direct debit otherwise they would have taken £30. I’m now with NOW TV at £21 a month & twice the Broadland speed. read more

Excellent “non” service from Shell…

Excellent “non” service from Shell Energy. Have been trying customer number all day to speak to their broadband section. I keep on getting “due to unforeseen circumstances “ messages advising us to phone later. This is not acceptable trying to deal with a company that doesn’t have a contingency plan set up. Poor show and cheerio as I will be voting with my feet. read more

Worse mistake was to take on Shell…

Worse mistake was to take on Shell broadband. They are rip off company. You are given a service blindly. You have a 2 week “cooling off” period but thats BEFORE u have a service. This should go against consumer rights. Stuck with a company i do not want otherwise its £300 to cancel. What a p@ss take. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND SHELL BROADBAND IN ANY WAY OR SHAPE! stinging me for £35 for a router they did not clearly state needed to be returned. 3 phone calls later and they still charging me. Its a mickey mouse company whose logo is ” rip as many people off as possible. Steal their money and make it impossible for ppl to cancel. Charlatans, daylight robbery. It may be a cheaper provider but this is the reason why. I agreed 21.99 only to find they are charging me 23.99. Another compliant still no feedback. DO NOT TAKE ON SHELL BROADBAND. read more

Possibly the worst customer “service” in the UK

I find it ironic that Shell Energy has branched into telecoms as they are utterly hopeless in terms of communication. Long waiting times on the phone (30+ minutes is not unusual), listening to elevator music and some chap telling you how important your call is and that someone will be with you soon (I would like to know SE’s definitions of important and soon); e-mails that go unanswered apart from an automated response: a webchat facility which is not available at 11.30 am (too early? too late?); an over-reliance on Facebook and Twitter which is absolutely no use to someone with no broadband or someone who is not interested in social media; letters which take 10-14 days to arrive based on the date at the top of the letter (snail mail?). Communication is definitely NOT SE’s forte. read more
