Didn't process cashback automatically. Rejected cashback claim due to Invalid Order ID. No order ID in comms from First Utility & Claim form advises to sue account ID, That was correct. Still no Cashback!!!

Very disappointing. Six months after my switch, but still not been paid cashback. TCB have recognised the transaction, but say they are still waiting for FU to pay them.

Really poor - moved both my GAS and ELECTRICITY to them and they declined my cashback. I provided account number & transaction number .... Don't bother with them and go somewhere else as there are many to chose from.

Still waiting for them to change my meter over - but they have been charging me twice; on dual fuel for both utilities, prepayment meters so I have to top up both. I then lose my electric key and it takes all day trying to find out who is actually supplying my home - as apparently because they failed to send the meter keys/cards, or anyone to update my meters. Had to go through all of Sunday without electric or gas, and the same for Monday around 4pm. Had plenty of different people coming out to check my meters, get confused, ring head office, scratch their heads and say they'll be back!

Be careful, cashback declined as they claim that an invalid order number was quoted, despite this being the same one quoted on confirmation email from them

Going through TCB means that you do not get offered the cheapest rate on First Utility.

Very competitive in pricing. Swapped my father in laws gas & electric over, but unfortunately the item did not track. Claim form completed but declined. Very disappointing.

Refused to pay cash back as their network did not identify topcashback as the last referral used. Very disappointing as I know that I followed the topcashback link. I guess it's to be expected really from a new company, they are trying to get new customers in and now don't want to pay out the corresponding cash back. Haven't completed the full switch over of my fuels yet, so cannot comment on their service. Topcashback were however helpful in trying to chase the missing cash back claim.

Cashback declined. Unable to find out why. More than 100 days passed so unable to raise a claim. Avoid.

Refused to pay my cashback (claiming that my order had been "cancelled") despite me providing evidence of having successfully signed up with them through TopCashback! Avoid unless you want to be disappointed. I will be changing supplier shortly to one that honours its commitments.

Cheapest energy provider I have ever found. Was however shorted on the cash back, was expecting £40+ and ended up with £25 after making a complaint that the cash back hadn't tracked after 4 months. Still a good deal and I can't be bothered chasing the other £15.

They wanted a £300 deposit, even tho I have a perfect credit rating! Need I say more?

BEWARE CON MERCHANTS. ALL THEY WANT IS £300 UP FRONT REGARDLESS OF A PERFECT HISTORY.

Still waiting on cashback after 4 months. First Utility offer no customer service, no staff to answer calls or emails. Every time I call, because they have cocked up my switch to them, I spend over an hour on hold, each time to be told they are taking on more staff, I switched as they were the cheapest, but I'm finding out that was a terrible mistake. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid like the plague - worst company I have dealt with Do NOT use this company, unless you want to spend hours on correspondence correcting errors from this company , that are repeated time and time again. I wish I had never come across First Utility and can only hope this review and others on here, save you the same pain. Background: during the recent price hikes, I looked to move from npower. FU seemed to be the cheapest. I signed up online and duly emailed a few friends to state what I had saved. Within an hour several friends pointed me to review sites such as this, plus bad experiences they had heard from others. Following the 7 day cooling off procedure , I cancelled the move of service within 1 hour of signing up. As others have stated, this was ignored by First Utility and they started to ask for payments. I contacted First Utility to explain the situation, they apologised and stated I should contact my existing supplier to block any move request, as FU had no control over its automated systems ! During the next 6 weeks , not only did they withdraw money from my account, but also chased me for payment via email. Numerous calls later and false promises that everything had been sorted , I eventually had someone confirm my account was closed and my email details deleted. I have asked for this to be put in writing, as I have no faith in this company. My biggest fear is having my credit rating impacted by this company, who have complete lack of control of their systems. Once again AVOID this company ..... You have been warned Update 2: Still being chased by this incompetent company for money I do not owe. The letters are getting more threatening with bold "action required" and threats to take further action ! So basically the last person I spoke to lied that my records had been updated and I wouldn't be chased, Back on the phone yet again, in a 40 min queue , to try and sort this shambles out. BBC Watchdog, please hurry up and investigate these cowb

As told by others. What cash back ???? Because you will be directed away from the buy now site. so when you do purchase it cannot be registered with cash back. Just tried to buy car insurance and again told to phone Hastings to complete the purchase. So AGAIN WHAT Cash Back.????????

This company is frankly dishonest. I moved house in January and submitted my final meter readings on the day of the move. Six months later, I have received two incorrect bills, made numerous phone calls, sent numerous emails and made a formal complaint, but no sign of a refund. I am in the process of issuing proceedings to recover the debt.

My cashback was tracked correctly, but after one month I got the message that merchant has declined it without specifying any reason despite fulfilling all t/c, I have raised the claim but no sign of any decision by merchant, they are sitting on my ticket for the last two months. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY........

Customer service is very expensive to call, but it's the only way to reach them as they don't respond to email.
