Constant incorrect Statements

It seems like constant issues for everyone involved. I've given up at this point, as it's clear they have major internal problems and aren't being honest. My bills and readings are consistently incorrect, and the amounts on my emails and online account statements never match up. Was only able to access online account couple of months ago. They’ve even claimed I didn’t have an account until September last year, despite having been with them since 2023, with statements sent to my email to prove it. One previous statement even said I owed £5,000 for a single month! I live in a 3-bedroom house with one adult and two children—hardly the kind of usage that would result in that amount.

 

If, after two years of complaints and multiple attempts to contact them, they still can’t explain or provide accurate bills, then I simply don't understand how my direct debit has been stopped. This has been going on for far too long.

No-one in these forums has access to your account, so we can’t explain or advise unless you share some details of what’s going wrong. This is a forum open to anyone, so whenever you post details, please make sure to remove any personally identifiable information like name, address, phone number, email address, account no., meter serial number or MPAN. 

We could start by looking at a screenshot of a recent bill, along with your comments about what’s wrong with it. Please tell us, too, precisely what sort of meters you have. A clear photo of them would help a lot.

You may be being confused by OVO’s ‘live billing’ system, which updates your account balance every day so you can see exactly what’s going on. If you have a smart meter, it’s a good idea to opt for half-hourly readings. You can then see in the online account just how much energy you’re using and when, and the daily balance will be accurate.

​@Bluebbee6 I agree with Firedog here. We’d love to help you, but can’t without further info. 

 

Could you give a bit more of a description of what issues you’ve actually encountered. You say that you have no online account, and no Direct Debit - I’m wondering whether you might now be on Pay As You Go (top-up), rather than Pay Monthly?

 

We’ll await more info from you.
