They won't lift a finger to help
Utterly useless service who don't care about supporting you with your issues with your water company. They refused to put pressure on Thames Water to investigate the issues with my bills where I'm getting charged over 200 litres a day every day in water usage I've not used.
Instead of CCW getting on top of this issue, I had to relentlessly pester Thames Water myself, get my MP involved, get the London Mayor involved, and contact the CEO of Thames Water directly.
Every day for weeks I recently pressed my case after spending 18 months trying to get these issues sorted.
The whole point of the CCW is so this extreme effort doesn't have to be made. But they refuse to honour the role of their job, so you will have to put in this ridiculous amount of effort to get stuff sorted out

CCW a fantastic service
I contacted CCW as seven trent water STW were being a nightmare. Not answering questions, telling lies, stating they were coming out to investigate a burst water pipe but never turned up. Stating they had delt with the burst pipe but had not ect..
CCW were absolutely amazing. They listened to my case and then took my case on. They delt with STW and held them to account for their failings. They kept me informed all the time. They were informative, professional and very knowledgeable.
They managed to get me compensation and an apology from STW for their failings.
CCW is a fantastic service. I would definitely recommend them.

We have been having billing problems…
We have been having billing problems with Southern Water since March this year when our monthly bill almost trebled. Phone calls to SW a waste of time! Letters to them produced replies but still not helpful!
So I contacted the Consumer Council for Water in Birmingham who we were informed would help, so I wrote to them. The gentleman who looked into our problem was brilliant. He kept us fully informed of his discussions he had with SW and they were all positive. Southern Water eventually cancelled a £290 debt on our account, which they should not have charged us because it was their accounting error! Philip our CCW consultant was brilliant. He was always polite, and respectfull and exceptionally patience and professional.
Much to the rellef of my wife and myself both well into 80's and I struggle with dementia, Philip had solved our problem. Thank you so much ......great work!

Not a great experience- thought I would be supported and advised, but felt questions were unanswered and feel somewhat let down. Too much to mention. The star rating speaks for itself.

Severn Trent Water - Will cut your water supply without notice!
Severn Trent Water shut off my water supply without notice, and then claimed (when personally notified) that they did not shut it off. Reached out to CCW, and thankfully met Angie Humphries, who diligently handled the case through to completion; even though Severn Trent dragged their feet, and at times did not keep their word. Thank you Angie Humphries and CCW!

Is this double standards by CCW.
Is this double standards by CCW.
About a week ago CCW stated:-
From 24 April 2026, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) instructed CCW to stop offering independent adjudication as part of its service. Independent adjudication is still available within the water industry in cases that cannot be resolved earlier in the complaints process by the companies or CCW.
CCW does not direct customers to specific adjudication providers or arrange referrals. Responsibility for accessing adjudication now sits with the water companies rather than CCW. They are responsible for explaining the available route, and how customers can proceed.
A few days ago CCW stated:-
Our primary role at CCW is to advocate for consumers by helping households and businesses try to resolve complaints with water companies, while also providing free advice and support.
Under the Water Industry Act 1991, there is a statutory complaints process in England & Wales, and CCW is the organisation tasked with investigating complaints after a customer has exhausted the water company 2 stage process.

Ccw got the outcome i wanted, i contacted them and within several weeks they had a result for me without me chasing them, yorkshire water were horrendous and wouldn’t listen or return my calls in the time scale they said, it was months of telling the same tale it was tedious
Yours happy customer

Advocacy service, no real power
Submission takes time and it takes months to get a response. They issued a polite apology for the delay 3days before the response (could have been sooner).
The problem is, Thames Water behaved so appallingly and CCW response was basically ‘Thames water disagree they owe you further compensation’ and I thought ‘I know, thats why i escalated to CCW to get the diabolical service logged, and for recognition that in these droughts, Thames water leave leaks going on for 12months.’ How is the water company not fined for this and instead the public need to pay with increased bills? Why do UK citizens need to put up with this?
Thames Water should be fined for their rubbish service, incompetent call handlers, consistently overcharging customers and lack of interest in repairing leaks in a timely manner. The CCW is an advocacy service that we are forced to use, but it has no power and the government needs to provide something better.

Antwort von CCW
Waste of time and tax payer money
Pointless, toothless, bureaucratic box ticking exercise for the water industry. They do not investigate complaints, they merely repeat back to you what the water company, in my case Severn Trent, tells them. They have a 3 month backlog of cases so do not expect a swift response. To make matters worse they are funded by the payments made to water companies so the public pays the price financially and in terms of poor service. If you have a genuine issue with a water company it would be a sensible option to go straight to your local MP and avoid the CCW because they add no value. **Update on the response to my review: it is clear from the response that they have no power and are ultimately funded by the tax payer. In the spirit of word salad bureaucracy, why use 20 words when you can cut and paste 500, I rest my case.

Effiicient Support
Whereas Thames Water was incredibly difficult and obstructive to deal with, CCW got them to act reasonably.
Time has meant that I have had to accept a less than appropriate result but one which is pragmatic under the refereeship of CCW

Antwort von CCW
CCW doesn't appear to know what it's doing.
There were considerable delays, a backlog apparently because of staff illness and holidays. The report when it eventually came was confusing, quoted misleading statements by Anglian Water, and ignored photographic evidence. Essentially, the water company run rings round them.
Also note the advice that CCW gives to approach the water company about getting adjudication. This is not true: people can approach the Ombudsman directly. In short, CCW do not know what they are doing and are therefore not helping the customer whom they are supposed to be supporting.
I only add a star because the person I initially spoke to seemed nice and helpful. It all went down from there.
Additional comment about the CCW reply. I have been completely truthful. With regards to my point on being referred back to the water company in order to reach the Ombudsman, here is a quote in writing from a CCW official called David McConn:
"You may wish to ask Anglian Water for details of how you can take your complaint to an independent adjudicator for judgment." (I did, and Anglian did not provide this.)

CCW got Thames Water to take my complaint seriously
I struggled with Thames Water for almost a year over a billing dispute. Every time I called them, they opened a new ticket and told me they would look into it, but nothing ever actually got resolved. At one point they sent me a bill of around £2,400, which made no sense at all. Every call I made took 30 to 60 minutes of my time, and each time they asked for something different or gave a different explanation. After a lot of back and forth, they did bring the bill down somewhat, but by that point I was completely worn out. I still disputed the final amount and explained clearly, with evidence, why I believed it was wrong. Their response was that this was their final decision and it would not change.
That is when I came across CCW. I contacted them not really expecting much, and all they asked me to do was send a summary of my situation by email. It was that simple. They opened a case and told me they would keep me updated.
My case was handled by Angie Humphries, and I honestly could not have asked for better support. Not long after she took over, I got a message from Thames Water saying around £55 would be credited to my account. I did not expect that at all. Then I received an email from Angie confirming what had happened, and I was genuinely relieved and happy. After almost a year of getting nowhere despite being clearly in the right, she had managed to get Thames Water to actually take my complaint seriously. On top of that, she secured a further £20 goodwill payment for me, and my case was closed as successfully resolved.
I also asked Angie at one point to make sure my credit score would not be affected while the dispute was ongoing, and she contacted Thames Water about this too and sorted it out without hesitation.
I want to say a genuine thank you to Angie Humphries and everyone at CCW who worked on my case. If you are stuck in a dispute with Thames Water and getting nowhere, do not waste months of your time like I did. Go to CCW and let them fight your corner for you. It made all the difference for me.

Totally Useless just Fobbed off after months of waiting for Help
Totally useless waited months just to be fobbed off just to be told to contact SWW again.
SWW have lied to me for over 2 years for my many requests to have a water meter fitted.
I am paying hundreds of pounds more than my next neighbour who is on a water meter fitted.
I am also convinced CCW are a part of south west water

I wasted a year with CCW after Southern…
I wasted a year with CCW after Southern Water told my tenant that she had a leak at her home and instructed her to employ a private plumber to find and fix the leak. It transpired that a meter served several properties and there was no leak. CCW decided that Southern Water acted properly!
If CCW does not have any power, they are somewhat pointless.

CCW took over my case with Thames Water
CCW were very helpful is sorting out my billing issue with Thames Water. After months of long telephone calls and emails with Thames Water I was getting nowhere. My CCW contact Olayinka took over the case and Thames Water have now (July 2026) started to use the meter they installed in January 2022 to calculate my water bill. Not only am I now charged for the water services actually used (Instead of an RV guesstimate), I received a refund for the over charging since April 2022. Big thank you to Olayinka and CCW.

Really helpful and supportive
Really helpful and supportive. Acted well and assertively on my behalf. Managed to gain better compensation than I had negotiated. It’s a shame that they can’t force water companies to comply.

Excellent Service Throughout a Lengthy Complaint
Although my complaint was not ultimately resolved in my favour, I cannot fault the professionalism, impartiality and diligence shown by Angie Humphries throughout the investigation. She took the time to understand the issues, communicated clearly throughout, and ensured my concerns were properly put to the water company. Even where the outcome was disappointing, I always felt my complaint had been treated fairly and respectfully. Thank you, Angie, for your assistance.

Pointless and incompetent
Pointless and incompetent
I raised a very serious complaint direct to the CEO who failed to even respond, following water company failure to return my money on account and harassment for monies that the CEO of the water company eventually advised were not ever due .And the account was in credit. CCW did not even consider this wrong despite the law OFWAT and Select committee guidelines findings . So still money not returned. The contempt it had for me was plain and I am a pensioner and disabled customer CCW is in my view not fit for purpose and should be closed with immediate effect. Who does it serve?
