Executers account

I had to inform OVO of my mum's death. I seemed to have done everything right. I am living in the house the account was for and wanted the account transferred to me. I had heard nothing until today. I got a letter from OVO TELLING me that the direct debit for the account had been cancelled. I am not able to log into the account to set up payments. I phone the bereavement number and spoke to someone who checked the account and they transferred me to another person who gave me an account number that I can use to set everything up. I tried and still couldn't log on. I then tried an online chat, after explaining things again again I was told I had an Executors Account and the would have to transfer me to the Bereavement people. The chat got shut off before I could talk to them.

Can anyone help with what to do next. I want to pay for the electricity that being used. I don't want to be a to wait so the bill gets too high.

Thanks

Hey ​@Sandki,

 

I'm really sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Please know that you have my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

 

When it comes to the account managed by our bereavement team, rest assured that they are specially trained to help with ownership transfers. If you reach out to us through phone or live chat, we might need to transfer you to make sure you’re connected with the right team members who can assist you.

 

You can easily get in touch with our dedicated executor team by calling 0330 175 9683 (Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM) or by sending an email to bereavement@ovoenergy.com

 

Since this is a customer-facing forum, I’m not able to help with account-specific queries here, but the executor team will be more than happy to provide you with any updates regarding your account. Keep in mind that it may take a little time to finalize everything and complete the transfer. If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out!
