What details are you using to try to set up your online account? Have you contacted OVO to get your own account number? This may be why your details do not match the account information. Whoever lived there previously will have had their own account number in their name.

I am using my personal details with the account number that I received on the mail , is that wrong or there is a way to create your own number account.

If you are sure that you are using the account number you have been sent, you are doing it correctly.

The best advice I can give you is to make contact with OVO.

Personally, I find the best way to get help is using the Messenger facility on OVO’s Facebook page.

Hmm…

I suspect it’s because you haven’t actually set the account up yet! Try https://switch.ovoenergy.com first to see if that helps. :)

Sorry I didn’t get to you sooner - I was 8m underwater yesterday!
