Utilita calls – how to stop the nuisance!

Got two calls that day from someone claiming to be a utility debt collector asking for my son, who passed away in April – I refused to share any details, cheers.

I dislike how they switch you off while leaving you hanging for support.

Hope they just disappear completely.

I got a call from a man who knew my surname and said he was from Utilita, arranging a date for a smart‑meter installation. I told him I didn’t want a smart meter, which surprised him. He tried to persuade me by saying it would make life easier, but I stayed firm and hung up, later blocking the number.

They kept ringing, saying they wanted to discuss the perks of switching energy suppliers while pretending to be Utilita – but I’m already with Utilita, so it felt like a harassing scam, proper irritating, mate.

A voicemail was left stating they were calling about a high‑management fine and would call back later, then adding they had called yesterday about my high energy supply. I haven’t received any fine and I pay for my energy upfront on a pre‑payment meter.

A stranger called asking for my office location and job description; I jokingly replied I was a professional polar‑bear hunter based at the South Pole, and she wondered if that was in London. Clearly a scam call, now blocked.

They keep calling repeatedly; I never answer and have blocked the number.

A bloke rang asking whether we preferred pay‑as‑you‑go or a direct debit. When I mentioned we already had a direct debit, he said a new meter meant a credit check was needed and asked us to email him – I wasn’t thrilled about that, mate.

I received a recorded pitch touting the advantages of moving to Utilita and warning they'd keep calling until I answer – absolutely absurd!
