Tried the app on phone and also PC,logged in and it keeps saying “sorry, only the person who set this direct debit up can change it". I was the one who set it up !!!!.Any help please.

Hi ​@Marlman ,

You can do this via Live Chat if you need to - it’s open for another hour at https://ovoenergy.com/help . Otherwise, try talking to them in the morning.


On my favourite theme of computers/phones going doolally on occasions, if you haven’t done it already, log out of your account, restart the phone or computer and have another go. I find that usernames and passwords can get scrambled between the keyboard and what is received by the servers and all sorts of weird things can happen. I find resets fix it more often that not but Live Chat will get the job done as well as ​@Blastoise186 has said. Just a thought.

Good day Marlman,

I was in credit for quite a large amount , it did not worry me as they paid a good rate of interest. I tried to alter my d/d on line but failed. I phoned and very quickly a refund was organised and my direct debit altered instantly.


Have you managed to get this sorted now ​@Marlman🙂


No not yet,don’t have time to phone,just thought you could do it through the app 


As said ​@Blastoise186, you could try Live Chat then. Accounts on this forum are not linked with the actual OVO accounts.
