Hi I use to have a pre payment metre now I just got a letter off owo.. saying I’m on a variable rate plan and simplier energy.

Hey @Mrlouey,

 

So sorry to hear this,

 

You say you don’t have the details to top up, have you just moved into the property?

 

The letter suggests you might be pay monthly, rather than top up meter. Are you sure your meter is pay as you go (top up)?

 

If so, you need to contact the support team:

Could someone advise me here - I just moved into my rented flat, traditional meter no key PAYG.  I’m trying to top up but my OVO card won’t arrive for  5 days.  
 

phoned OVO they gave me a code number and said go top up somewhere - but nowhere blinked what to do with just a code

feel like the lights will go out before u top up

I see.

That is NOT a PAYG Meter. Are you absolutely sure you’re on PAYG because it looks like you’re actually on Pay Monthly?

Try signing up online for Pay Monthly at https://switch.ovoenergy.com instead.

Hey @Maddie Steele 

 

Did you speak with the Support Team again about this to get some clarity? 

 

As Blastoise186 has mentioned, the meter pictured is not a Pay as you go meter. Do you also have gas at the flat? If so, maybe that one is PAYG, if there is gas, feel free to send a photo over of the gas meter. 

 

Let us know how you’ve got on with this.
