Extra Support

I am on UC and PIP. My fridge freezer has broken down and I wondered if OVO can help with this as I heard some energy providers do. Thanks

My elderly mother is severely hard of hearing and cannot cope with telephone calls now. She officially named/agreed with OVO for  my brother to be her representative to deal with her account however he was told on a later call that he cannot discuss/change her direct debit as she asked him to do and that instead my mum would need to telephone(!) to get a number for collections (or whatever the payment dept calls themselves now) to do it herself. The other option offered was for my brother to become financially liable and be named on our mother’s bill.  All my mum wants is to do is reduce the new direct debit amount as she is substantially in credit. It hasn’t helped that my mum has been telephoned by OVO since and had messages that she cannot understand and this whole experience has her sick with stress. What part of “cannot hear” does OVO not comprehend? Why can’t her representative actually represent her? We didn’t have this representative issue with a different power provider, my si

I was an SSE customer for 9 years and had always managed my monthly direct debits succsessfully during that time. I was moved over to OVO automatically and my direct debit of £25.00  was accepted on 10th August, 2022. On the 11th August 2022 I received an email from OVO saying I hadn’t paid enough and saying I must pay £96.00 per month with immediate effect. I did then panic and cancelled the direct debit immediately as all I had in my bank account was just over £100 and OVO would have taken £96, leaving me with £7.00 to last me for food until the 24th of August! This massive 75% increase is not acceptable to me, I simply do not have the funds to pay it!. I am an OAP on State Pension live alone in a small flat. I use very little electricity compared to some users and hiking my direct debit like this is frightening. I have no idea now what to do. Can someone out there please help me? I don’t want to be in debt to OVO but how can I get them to see how badly this affecting me. I have vari

Hi, I am in the process of switching over to Ovo from SSE. I am on the priority service register and SSE have a dedicated careline number for Vulnerable customers.  My question is, does Ovo have a dedicated number similar to SSE so I don't ring customer care, I can just contact "Careline" number, just for Vulnerable customers.   Many thanks in advance for any help  Tracy   

Does OVO still have an energy fund that can be applied to, to help with an existing energy debt?  I have tried applying to British Gas for a grant for non-customers and they have said that they cannot help as OVO has its own energy fund.

can i change to a pay has you go meter

Im wondering if I can turn my gas off as I can’t afford to use it and don’t want the standing charge either. Also  if I go onto PAYG and don’t top it up will they still take the standing charge. Thanks in advance for any assistance. 

Does anyone out there know if there is a smart IHD available that will link with Amazon Alexa so that I can ask Alexa by voice to read out my energy consumption information. I'm disabled and this would help.
