Customer service went from sub-par to…

Customer service went from sub-par to non-existent when trying to cancel my services and resulted in an extra month's worth of bills due to getting ignored. On top of that, they had the audacity to include cancellation fees after already forking extra money from me. Their services are flawed and overpriced but they disguise themselves by offering the 'convenience and simplicity' of having all your bills come out as one. This ended up having me 3 separate water bills to pay for (as i said, flawed) and an overpriced fixed energy bill what didn't change no matter how little energy I tried using in a month. Worst company I have ever come across and are lucky I didn't pursue legal action.

Jenni is fantastic - Homebox are not!

I have had issues with trying to establish who was providing my utilities coupled with meter readings, which were vital in vacating our rental property. Customer services staff at Homebox were generally unhelpful and clueless. Luckily Jenni answered one of my many calls and she was a complete breath of fresh air. Instead of palming me off to try and attain the information myself, she tracked down the utility company, requested what I needed and has stayed in contact and updated me of progress. Well done Jenni!

Pay your own bills

This company is supposed to be sourcing the best deals for bills and also paying bills.
Our electricity got cut off with no warning when I rang homebox after a 59 min wait I was told oh you were supposed ro be switched to Octopus energy but there was an issue so your still with British gas no electricity bill has been paid for over 4 months. They couldnt give me the money back I had paid them without seeing a bill from British gas and I am tied on with them for a 12 month contract to pay our bills otherwise its £120 admin charge to leave.
I spent over 2 hours on the phone to British gas who after passing around to 8 different people couldnt tell me how to get the electricity back on in fact they even told me they weren't the supplier and I had ro ring Eon who informed me British gas were the supplier £85 out of pocket to get the power back on and now I have to wait 5 working days for homebox to reimburse me for a company who is supposed to take the stress away they certainly caused me more stress than I have had in a long time my advice just pay your own bills. Homebox told me its not legal to just have electricity just cut of but it happened and all I got was I will raise this as an issue with no guarantee they will sort this out and start paying a supplier so my electricity doesn't get cut off again

Scam

The first call is super professional. They tell you that a certain company offers by far the best rates for energy, in my case E.ON next. After reading the rates and accepting the contract all seems well. They pretend the only fee is 10£ for handling everything and nothing else.

Twelve days after, I receive an email from E.ON to inform me that I decided to move my energy services from them. After a few more calls I realize that my contract has been moved on my behalf to British Gas, without me ever being notified or approving the move. I was able to call British Gas to cancel the move in the last day of the cooling period after dealing with customer support who would do anything to avoid, misdirect and even blatantly lie so that the cooling period is passed. Do insist for the canceling if you arrive in this position. I finally managed to get my energy contract to E.ON but in the Homebox app it still appears that British Gas is my current provider. After I cancelled the direct debit set up with Homebox, I've started receiving emails which threaten to add 10£ in late payment fees and affect my credit score etc.

As mentioned in other comments, their customer support is unreachable. I waited 20 minutes on hold trying to get a clarification on why my contract was moved to British Gas to no avail.

Unfortunately, they seem to be in a partnership with Chestertons which offered some credibility when I was contacted by them. It's hard to understand why Chestertons choses to work and also push this company onto its clients.

Absolute scam.

I wouldn't even give them 1 star

I wouldn't even give them 1 star ! Absolutely useless company ! Had two accounts to deal with, utility one they didn't give over meter readings, which I gave every month, the council tax they actually paid into the wrong bank account, although the bill I sent in clearly had the right bank account on it ! I've repeatedly rung, text and emailed them, but they don't listen ! I shall be taking legal advice as they've taken more money, than accounted for, and still my council tax hasn't been paid !!

I repeat do NOT use Homebox.

I repeat do NOT use Homebox.
Did not manage my bills at all, impossible to get in contact with.
I’ve tried whatsapping them
I’ve tried emailing them
I’ve waited over an hour in customer service call queue. Got told I’d be called back today as the customer service representative was unsure about the situation. No call back.
Still no resolution.
I got an email today saying a bill from over a month ago needed my attention. Email didn’t specify what bill, had to wait an hour on a call to find out. I am still not sure what I was paying Homebox to do for the year.
Do yourself a favour and manage the bills yourself. AVOID.

I’m very upset

Extremely disappointed. I wanted to cancel the service in the 14 day cooling period but no one would take my calls. I’m still waiting for them to confirm the cancellation. I’ve written to both sales reps who contacted me (Nauriane and Wael) and expressed my intention. I’m happy to amend this review if I get a call back and written confirmation of the account closure. Until then, I’m extremely upset by their practices. I feel used.

Very rude and scarsely responsive customer service. I would avoid working with this company at all costs, they will make it impossible for you to cancel your account with them. I'd also be mindful of sharing any personal data with them.
