WATCH OUT!!!!!

WATCH OUT!!!!!
I have amassed £454 in my account. I phoned Shell to try and get it returned to my account but they won’t. I waited 10 day and received nothing. They said wait another 10. Something going on. Be very careful. I have had to cancel my standing order for 3 month to get the money back !!!!!

Terminating is pretty much impossible

25/9 I phoned and ask to terminate my broadband.
I was told that was fine and that could I just find out what Vodafone would be doing, nothing more specific. I was not told that my cancellation was not being actioned. They also had the wrong account activation date – I have an email confirmation of 4/5/20. They had a later date so we had to confirm that I was not in fact leaving early. This was agreed. 30/9 I phoned back to confirm what Vodafone was doing and I was told nothing had been actioned on Shells part and that they needed to know specifically if Vodafone was installing a new telephone number – this was a different question and a much less friendly operative. 4/5 today I am yet again trying to get through to Shell unsuccessfully to advise that Vodafone are not installing a new line. I have so far been cut off after 10 minutes holding. I am now yet again waiting even longer after 15 minutes I am now going to call back and try pressing another option, still no reply. I’ll try again later but this is totally unacceptable. read more

Extracts from Shell Energy customer reviews posted during the past few days on Trustpilot: “Tried to set up a broadband account. I was told they will send the router and engineer after 14 days. No router and when I called to see about the engineer on day 13 they didn’t know what I was talking about.”: “I should have read the reviews before contacting them as they are all shocking reviews.”: “Utterly incompetent”: Please don’t waste you time or money they are terrible, I’ve had a lucky escape” read more

Extracts from a Shell Energy customer review posted on Trustpilot: “The quality of the copper wifi is rubbish and constantly disconnects from my TV and laptop. I called up to cancel, within what I think is my legal right to a ‘14 day cooling off period’, only to be informed that Shell’s policy for this always ends the day before you receive your wifi box i.e. you can never try it and then cancel if the service is not good enough.”

Controversial £15 fee to ‘switch to a rival broadband firm’ is finally scrapped

EXIT FEES were once commonplace from broadband providers, but have become something of a rarity in recent years. Shell Energy was one of the few hanging on, but thanks to pressure from Ofcom, it has now decided to ditch the £15 cost to move to BT, EE, Sky, or another rival internet supplier.

Internet supplier Shell Energy has confirmed plans to ditch its controversial £15 “cease fee” that was applied to home broadband customers who wanted to move to a rival provider. Bafflingly, the extra cost even applied to those who had come to the end of their minimum contract term. Most rival providers, including BT, Sky and Virgin Media, don’t charge a fee for users to leave when they’ve come to the end of their original contract – instead, these extra costs usually only rack up when leaving early. read more

Shell, Simply Blue Energy in joint venture for offshore wind project

Floating turbines off south coast will supply power for up to 800,000 homes

Shell has signed an agreement with Irish marine renewables developer Simply Blue Energy to acquire a 51 per cent share in a floating wind farm to be built off the south coast.

The joint venture will produce up to 1 gigawatt of power when fully operational – equivalent to Ireland’s largest generating station at Moneypoint in Co Clare, and capable of powering 800,000 homes.

“This partnership combines the floating wind track record and local knowledge of Simply Blue Energy with Shell’s offshore experience, floating wind expertise and ability to develop large complex projects,” Simply Blue chief executive Sam Roch-Perks said. read more

Fictitious enormous bills making me ill: I’ve looked on Facebook and can see lots of other people being overcharged and put in debt by hundreds to thousands. I’m very stressed and this is too much on top of a tough year. They should be made accountable for what they are doing.
