I'm trying to contact you as I’m off supply.

 

I have a key that won't register in my meter, and I have an old-style key meter.

 

I’m really not impressed with how difficult it is to contact you on a Sunday, my supply has never gone off on a Sunday before with any other supplier. I have 2 children, one of which is under 5 and suffers with his chest.

 

I will be making big waves about this if my issue is not resolved in the next few hours. I've contacted you on Facebook, I’m sure it's illegal to leave your customers without any form of supply or a way to get an emergency supply. I’m also registered disabled myself. I’m not a happy customer at the moment, I’ve been in tears since half past 8 this morning trying to find a way to get hold of someone at Boost. Even the national grid could not get hold of you, disgusting really when my supply has gone off on a Sunday.

Hi all,

 

In future, if you’ve got an emergency issue between 9am - 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays, the Social Team can be reached on either Facebook or Twitter.

Hi @Ackhi1985,

I’m not sure what this out of hours service is. Our opening hours are:

Mon to Fri: 8am to 6pm

Saturday: 9am to 5pm

The phone lines are also open between 6pm and 8pm on weeknights for emergencies only. As Ed mentioned above, you can also message the team on Facebook or Twitter for help over the weekend.

Thanks,

Nancy

My gas meter is displaying vend. When I’ve searched online everything tells me that I have to enter my 20 digit transaction code manually for the top up to register. The problem Is I topped up via the app, I have never received an email confirmation or transaction code whenever I’ve topped up, so I don’t have that code. 

I have 3 children under 5 one who is disabled, our house is freezing and I have no gas supply nor is there any emergency contact number for this company. 

 

Help! What can I do??

Hey @Lesleyann,

 

I’ve moved your question to this existing topic to let you know what you can do during out of hours/weekend when you have any supply issues.

 

When you top up via your Boost app, you shouldn't need to enter any codes into your meter. You’ll just need to press A, A and B when it is ready to be turned back on!

 

Let me know how you’re getting on,

Bradley

I'm here to give you a Boost!
