If I could leave less stars I would.
I’ve had to call up Rebel every single month about my direct debit. Each time, I’m informed it’s been “set up incorrectly� and that’s it’s why it’s not worked. Which makes me think that they do NOT have the capabilities to do so, or, their incapable staff aren’t told how to do so correctly.
I then paid £161 to pay off the account, which they then couldn’t locate. Which meant I was getting bills through for an overdue payment - when I’d already paid.
I was advised not to pay an additional amount until they located the original payment.
Now, because I’ve not been paying direct debit, I have a large amount to pay off, which I’m finding very stressful.
I also asked to receive email communications rather than postal… and again. This hasn’t happened.
The staff are always friendly when dealing with issues but there have just been so many now it’s absolutely outrageous, and really is unacceptable to provide such a terrible service.
Companies on Trustpilot can’t offer incentives or pay to hide any reviews.

Just signed up to Ebico / Rebel energy. Cannot really give a review, as I have just switched over.
But have had very positive communications, spoke with an agent ( De-Juan ), extremely polite, and very good customer service skills.
So all positive at the moment.
Rebel is really giving me headache 🤕!!!! October 19th -December for a 2 bedroom, after entering a contract with a Direct debit of a constant price which is being debited from my account monthly, only to receive an email that the fixed price they made for me is not enough so I’m owing them £601, how???! where is it stated in the contract???? that after your direct debit, I’m to pay for what I’m not aware of, only to be told when I called for clarity that subsequently I’m to be paying £300+ monthly aside the £601.
WTH!!! Who pays £300+ monthly for a 2 bedroom???!!! Just 2adults, what I’m I using the electricity for??!!! When I’m not running a business, hotel or organisation to consume that much!!!!! Really unfair! Rebel as your name implies. I regret ever joining you!!! It appears fraudulent to me. I’m not convinced with your explanation as that is an afterthought which was not clearly stated in the contract!!!!
I regret signing up with Rebel Energy. I had hoped to secure an apartment and use them as my energy provider, but unfortunately, I didn’t obtain the apartment. I have contacted them numerous times to inform them of this, and they promised to refund me. However, one month later, I have yet to receive my refund. Despite customer service informing me that my account has been closed, I was surprised to receive an email this morning stating that I will be charged for a second month. Do not join them; they will frustrate you, and it is difficult to reach their customer support.

Crap service avoid them
We have had rebel energy for a few years but I have been asking for months why my bills are estimated and not read by the smart meters, Rebel said the gas smart meter is faulty and doesn't send any readings and the electric smart meter only sends the odd reading.
I also phoned and emailed quiet a few times and it seems Rebel customer services is useless as when phoned one time I was told they had 2 electric meters on my account but we only have 1 which I sent a photo of.
I kept asking for new smart meters and reminded them of there legal obligations but still it was estimated or I had to take a manual reading. Now I have had enough and moved my energy and Rebel have decided to block it as they have issued a estimated bill and I will not pay it until they take a accurate reading so I am missing out on cheaper energy from my new chosen supplier.
If you have a choice don't use them there customer services are in India somewhere and you can't speak to anyone who can sort things out.
I have tried to reply but failed so trying it this way.
If your customer service is as good as you say why did you not sort the issues out with my smart meters ? every time I called your CS they said we will escalate the issue, nothing happens so I call again and your CS says it wasn't escalated, God knows how many times i called..
So every bill i had was estimated or I read myself never once was a smart meter reading was taken because they don't work and may i remind you again it is Rebel Energy legal duty to ensure they work correctly.
Rebel are a waste of time and will cause you nothing but hassle.

This is my first time with the company, I must say so far the customer service is very good. Had the opponent to interact with Kelsey who was very polite and patient. She was able to set up my account in a timely manner.

Keep receiving bills to my postbox
I keep receiving bills in my postbox with a reference number addressed to “the occupier� of my flat. I contacted support, explaining that I am with another provider and asked them to confirm why they are sending me these bills. I also provided a copy of the letter.
In response, I received a templated answer stating that they cannot proceed with my inquiry because I do not have a registered account with them. I replied, clarifying that I have never had, nor do I plan to have, an account with Rebel. I explained that this is why they cannot find my email address or other details. I also requested that they stop sending me anonymous bills.
However, I received the same templated response again, stating that they cannot find my email address in their system.
It seems the company is pursuing an aggressive strategy to capture market share by sending unsolicited bills to people, hoping they will feel obligated to join Rebel, thinking they have no other choice.

A great experience so far
Been with rebel energy for nearly a year now and I’m hoping I can stay for another year once my new tariff is available. It’s been so easy and Jaydrin was a great help on advice for renewal and refunds.
