“At ScottishPower we believe our job is more than just to bring you energy. It's also about making your energy choices clear and simple which can help you save on your energy costs.

Business Bills

As Scottish power offer several different types of bills, with slight differences, they have set up and FAQ section full of helpful advice on making sense of your bills and videos explaining them.

Below is an excerpt from one of their PDF’s online explaining the layout of one type of invoice. You generally get the same type of invoice as other suppliers with the same basic info. Some people claim they can be difficult to read, but it may be a case of additional information added by Scottish Power, and the online help section is very useful when it comes to deciphering your invoice.

Ways To Pay:

Online or on theYourEnergy mobile app with your debit/credit card.
At a bank or Post Office by cheque, debit or credit card, standing order or cash.
Register for an online account and pay by Direct Debit.
Pay over the phone.

Change of Tenancy

To notify Scottish power of a change of tenancy you must either call them or fill out a form they provide and send it to them. You will need to provide the details of the new tenant but if they need any further information they will contact you for it. A final invoice will be issued to you within 14 days of it being prepared.

They provide a good explanation of this on their website. Although the method isn’t as easy as an online form, it is clear and transparent.

Reviews

Positive

My experience so far regards my switch over with Scottish power went very well, phone calling, to viewing my account I have no complaints.
I have been with Scottish power for a number of years and had no hesitation in remaining with them when I moved, switching was easy they compared the tariff with the previous provider at the new property and were pleasant and helpful as always. If I have ever found a better tarif they have always found me a better deal or very close, no brand new customers only here, as it should be, if you are a long standing customer you get treated as a valued customer. No doubt there will come a time when maybe I can find a better deal but I doubt I will get such good customer service
Very clear from start about what was going to happen when switching. No hassle. Great service.

Negative

Really difficult to speak with someone
A long term customer being taken for granted
Although call centre and web site are good, not all staff know all your products/tariffs. I am a power up customer and I’ve yet to speak to a member of your staff that know what I'm talking about.
