Got a call from some dodgy lot pretending to be southern electric, trying to get me to sign a business deal a whole year before my current one’s up. Told them where to go and just ended the call!

Someone rang saying they were from British Gas business, saying we had to renew our gas before the year was up. Our contract actually doesn’t finish until 2021. I asked if they could email me the prices but they said no, they need to tell me over the phone. I’ve now given them the details about 6 times! They still won’t send anything in writing. I said I’m not agreeing to anything without seeing the prices on email. Then the bloke got really rude and started threatening to disconnect our meter. Told him off and ended the call!

This number is definitely from British Gas complaints team. From what I went through, they were really courteous. I didn’t pick up the first call, but they dropped a voicemail saying they’d ring me again in a bit, and true to their word, they did. Would rate their service as top notch from my side.

Got a call from this number on my phone around 15:01 today, but I didn’t pick up and they left no voicemail. So I looked it up here to see who it could be and from what everyone’s saying, it’s British Gas. Bit strange as I’m not even a customer with British Gas. Weird huh?

Got a call from this number - turned out to be British Gas but my BT8600 phone blocked it straight away. Since I’m a BG customer, I rang them back to find out why they called me, as I had no clue. The call centre was in India (shocker). The lady I spoke with was polite and looked into my account but couldn’t find any reason for the call either!! Definitely not the best customer service I’ve had, and I’m still none the wiser about the call’s purpose. At least I’m sure it wasn’t a scam.

I recently got a letter that said, "We're sorry to see you go." To clarify, I’m not going anywhere! I decided to ring up the number provided, and lo and behold, they asked for my address and various details linked to my British Gas account. I mentioned that seemed rather excessive, but they assured me it was for "security reasons." However, when I requested some information from their side, I was told it was confidential. Now, I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of ruse to get me to call a pricey number. I’ve heard that 0800 numbers are supposed to be toll-free…

This number keeps ringing me, yet the blokes on the other end are completely silent. It’s as if they’re just waiting for me to return the call.

It’s rather infuriating to receive a call so early on a Saturday morning while I’m trying to enjoy a lie-in. After I disregarded their initial attempt, they had the audacity to ring again a mere quarter of an hour later! I answered only to have my voicemail pick up-how utterly frustrating! I find myself increasingly annoyed with these incessant calls from overseas, particularly from abroad. It’s maddening enough having to endure customer service from firms that seem to outsource to cut costs, only to be met with sales pitches delivered in broken English. It feels like they're just trying to peddle some dodgy schemes or other rubbish.

Absolutely. It's indeed British Gas. However, in spite of our explicit request to have our inquiry addressed through email, they still persist in calling our landline. We utilise the email correspondence primarily as a written record of our interactions, which is far more effective than verbal communication. Perhaps that’s the reason they prefer phone calls over the clear-cut documentation we seek. They do eventually send an email, just not before they disregard their own records, it seems. A legitimate caller, but they clearly don’t keep track of their own information well enough.

This number belongs to British Gas. They've been trying to call us for a fortnight now-three times, to be precise. I've asked them repeatedly to refrain from phoning and instead communicate via letter or email. It feels rather unsettling that utility companies seem so reluctant to put anything in writing. Good luck trying to get a written communication from any of them: NPower, BT, AOL-it's nearly impossible! It all seems to revolve around evading responsibility, and I’m not having any of that.

I reached out to them a fortnight ago regarding a chat, and while I was on hold, they managed to have a natter with my partner about a Gas Boiler Maintenance scheme. She made it clear that she'd consult with us before proceeding. However, this afternoon they've called five times within a mere two hours, even leaving some voicemails. We refuse to be cornered into a quick decision! My partner took note of the customer support agent’s name and number, saying she’d get back in touch next month, firmly indicating we aren’t interested in any follow-up calls. Consequently, they shall not be graced with our custom.

Yesterday, I noticed I had a missed call from this number. I decided to call it back just now and was greeted by a recorded message indicating it was Scottish Gas. Since I’m not a customer of theirs, it seems likely that this was merely a sales call or some sort of marketing initiative.

Indeed, that was definitely British Gas! We did a 1471 earlier today around three o'clock, and it went straight to their automated service, which is usually for sending in meter readings or addressing account queries. Quite odd, to be honest. We did have a chat with them recently, and I must say, the chap we spoke to was splendid at helping us sort out our direct debits. In contrast to our usual run-ins with BG, their phone support was absolutely top-notch this time around!
