What it covers
Energy complaints where evidence and timeline matter
The builder helps you organise the facts behind common energy supplier problems so you can understand what happened, prepare the evidence and decide which complaint route may be worth considering.
Switching problems
Delayed switch, erroneous transfer, blocked switch, duplicate accounts or supplier objections.
Billing disputes
Estimated bills, wrong readings, back-billing concerns, final bill delay or unexplained debt.
Meter issues
Smart meter faults, prepayment top-ups, wrong meter details, inaccessible readings or metering evidence gaps.
Payments and refunds
Direct Debit changes, credit balance refund, duplicate payments, debt collection or payment-plan issues.
Consumer guidance
Energy supplier issues this pack can help organise
Use this guidance to choose the right evidence before building your Energy Supplier Complaint Pack. The pack remains evidence-led and does not promise any refund, bill correction or compensation outcome.
Choosing the correct supplier
Identify the supplier responsible for the account, switch, bill, meter or payment before sending anything.
Supplier switching
Record the old supplier, new supplier, requested date, completion date, opening readings and final bills.
Delayed switching
Keep switch confirmations and supplier messages. Check official guaranteed-standard guidance before relying on any payment figure.
Failed switching
Collect rejected switch notices, objections, account balances and messages showing why the switch did not complete.
Erroneous transfers
Where a supply was moved without permission, preserve messages from both suppliers and evidence of the correct address and meter.
Incorrect bills
Compare bill dates, meter readings, tariff details, usage history, payments and supplier explanations.
Estimated bills
Meter photos, submitted readings and supplier replies can help show whether the estimate should be corrected.
Meter reading disputes
Include opening, closing and dated current readings, photographs and any engineer or network notes.
Wrong meter
Record meter serial numbers, MPAN/MPRN where available, property details and supplier investigation notes.
Smart meters
Save app screenshots, in-home display information, supplier messages and any evidence of estimated billing.
Direct Debits
Keep payment schedules, bank records, supplier calculations and any Direct Debit Guarantee correspondence.
Credit balances
Record the account balance, final bill, refund request, payment history and the supplier's response.
Refunds
Show what was requested, when, why the account appears in credit and what response has been received.
Final bills
Moving dates, closing readings, tenancy or completion evidence and final bill correspondence usually matter.
Moving home
Record who occupied the property, the move-in or move-out date and any readings taken on that date.
Back billing
Historic charges should be checked against Ofgem's current back-billing guidance and the billing history.
Priority Services
If vulnerability or access needs are relevant, check the supplier or network Priority Services Register route.
Complaint escalation
Supplier complaints normally come first. Energy Ombudsman eligibility should be checked before escalation.
Energy Ombudsman
Deadlock, timing, scope and complaint history should be reviewed before using an Ombudsman route.
Evidence
Bills, readings, account screenshots, payment records, supplier messages and photographs make the pack stronger.
What happens next
Review the pack, attach evidence, check the official supplier route and submit the complaint yourself.
Official sources
Official and regulatory references
These references support the wider context. They do not decide the outcome of any individual complaint.

Boundaries
Important energy complaint boundaries
This builder is for consumer-facing energy supplier complaints. It does not replace urgent safety reporting, legal advice, regulated debt advice or supplier emergency procedures.
If you smell gas, have a dangerous meter issue, face imminent disconnection, have received court papers or are dealing with warrant action, seek urgent specialist help and contact the relevant supplier or emergency route immediately.
Before using your Complaint Pack
This builder organises energy-account facts, evidence, supplier routes and a self-service complaint pack. It does not submit complaints automatically or promise refunds, compensation, bill corrections or Ombudsman acceptance.
Review every factual entry against your bills, meter readings, payment records and correspondence before sending anything to a supplier, ombudsman or complaint portal.
