5. CALLING EON CUSTOMER SERVICE

Like most giant multinational companies, E.ON UK handles a large number of complaints daily. According to its latest statistics, the company receives in excess of 640,000 complaints annually.

 

As such, before placing a call to the customer service, it would be advisable to prepare yourself in advance. For starters, don’t call when you are busy. Chances are, you will be kept on hold for quite a while, so make sure you have allocated a convenient window of time, preferably during non-working or off-peak hours. This will ensure your waiting time will be kept to a minimum and you won’t have to end your call prematurely.

 

Next, note down the gist of your complaint on a piece of paper or notebook. Otherwise, you run the risk of missing some important information. It is also advisable to write down the time of your call, the person you are speaking too, and any other relevant details. This could be useful if your case is not resolved immediately.

 

It is very important to prepare any relevant documentation before making a call. Depending on the nature of your call, you may need credit card details, the serial number or latest reading of the meter, or even the login details of your online account. There is nothing worse than being accidentally disconnected while you are frantically searching for a document midway through the phone call.

 

Finally, as annoyed as you may be, please remember that the customer service officer you are speaking to probably has spoken to dozens of similarly irate customers throughout the day. Showing your anger will not achieve anything – it may even reduce their motivation to assist you. So, be polite, courteous and prepared – the person you’re speaking too will appreciate it, even if they don’t tell you.
