Repeatedly closing my complaint down to help Severn Trent avoid responsibility

Utterly disgraceful non existent service. I made my complaint in mid November 2024. I was contacted and asked by YOU for a third party authorisation which I completed and sent to you along with my final response and all complaints to Severn Trent. At no point did you tell me you were sharing the signed authorisation form with Severn Trent Water which I believe is against GDPR and illegal. Anyway your first response rejected my complaint because Severn Trent Water lied to you and told you they had no record of my complaints. I immediately replied to tell you I'd already sent you all copies of my complaints, Severn Trent s replies and their final response which told me to go to you. You said you hadn't got it which isn't true as I got no bounce backs. I sent them again. Your advisor replied to tell me I was correct and Severn Trent had lied to you and she also was bewildered on my behalf as to why Severn Trent Water were harassing us to pay bills for an empty property. I then waited for the case worker Mary to get in touch which she did on Thursday last week. I called her back and at no point did she say what the first advisor did, which was that Severn Trent shouldn't be expecting someone to pay bills for an empty house especially when they had just paid £1400 to repair a leak on Severn Trent's demands. Mary insisted I should get a water meter fitted which is what Severn Trent wanted. I didn't commit to anything and asked her how much the water bills would be with this fitted. She lied and said she would ask Severn Trent and tell me. Then today I got an email from Mary simply closing my complaint down because I should get a water meter fitted!!! No information as she promised and the email also had the bare faced cheek to say that Severn Trent were closing my complaint down because they don't agree with the authority form that YOU OBTAINED FOR YOUR PURPOSES. You're the worst ombudsman service I've encountered yet. I DON'T WANT MY COMPLAINT CLOSED BECAUSE YOU'RE HELPING SEVERN TRENT TO AVOID DEALING WITH IT. And we won't be getting any meter fitted and I want compensation for all the disgusting customer service harassment and LIES and BULLYING from Severn Trent for 8 months now and an immediate apology from you for wrongly sharing personal data with third parties without my knowledge, permission or consent. Absolutely atrocious service. I don't want to deal with MARY again.

My case was assigned to Baba at CCW

My case was assigned to Baba at CCW. It took him 6 months to respond, and when he did he did not have a clue about the basic policies governing water companies. Terrible service. Don’t waste your time.

Absolutely useless and pointless…

Absolutely useless and pointless organisation. My 1st caseworker was excellent, then went on leave. His colleague hoisted the white flag to relevant water company even before contacting them! He contradicted everything the 1st caseworker told me, then when I tried to record a Complaint in accordance with their own protocol the call handler refused to take the complaint! Worse than useless, what a waste of scarce public resources that allows water companies to act like the maverick corporate crooks they are.

Complete waste of everybody's time

Did not keep to timescale, had to be chased, and in the end just agreed with the water company. Complete waste of everybody's time.

CCW supports polluter Severn Trent Water

Communication was good, with regular updates. My complaint was about Severn Trent Water charging me for waste water treatment while continuing to pollute our environment while financially rewarding it's negligent CEO and greedy shareholders. My complaint was rejected, and CCW supported Severn Trent, whcih continues to pollute.

I was able to get justice for the injustice I got from my water supplier. All thanks to CCW. I appreciate the support, customer service was also in touch while looking into my complaints. Well done CCW, you are doing a good job 👏🏾

Pleasant enough staff but a paper tiger

Pleasant enough staff but a paper tiger. A consumer body with no teeth, no power and hence no means of acting effectively on behalf of consumers. In my specific case they merely accepted whatever Severn Trent Water told them (without asking for or receiving evidence) which merely resulted in an utter waste of time for all concerned. Sorry, but 0 stars.
