My account

I’ve been having ongoing issues since our migration from SSE on 20th February. Still getting nowhere and have made 3 phone calls to the customer service team. Made a formal complaint and all they could say was they can’t access my account as it’s still in the migration period. It will take another 10 days for my complaint to be resolved even though my previous complaint (10 days ago) hasn’t been resolved yet.  can you tell me what the complaints procedure is? The guy I spoke to at resolutions was super creepy and told me to go and look after my kids 🙄

Hi everyone,Getting desperate for help now.  Ovo have last month billed me almost £3000 for a 3 month period back in 2020.  I have a separate final bill received back in 2020 which shows as paid, in fact it actually shows a credit balance.They are now persistently threatening me and chasing for the £3000 which I clearly don’t owe them.I have phoned multiple times, I have emailed them as per their complaints procedure (on 18 July) (removed by moderator).  I’ve had no response to my email; when I phone they say it will be sorted.How on earth do I get the complaints team or frankly anyone at Ovo to actually address this issue please?Thank you for any advice.. 

After being moved from quarterly to monthly billing last year, I usually receive an email showing the amount to pay shortly after the bill end date each month, after which I proceed to pay.  However, I have not received the usual email last month, even though My OVO account shows the bill available for the corresponding period. When I was on quarterly billing, the OVO customer service team confirmed that I only had to pay after receiving the ‘Your bill is ready’ email (every 3 months), even if My Ovo account showed interim bills available. I’m not sure if this still applies now or not.

Hi, I have a smart meter why do I get estimated readings on my Bill? I thought a smart meter would know my correct readings. Jonboy.

Why does it take so long for monies paid to show on your account?

I went for a 1 year fixed rate economy10 last August & all was working well until yesterday when Ovo suddenly without any notice or consultation changed me back to a variable plan & the different higher charges from August. What on earth is going on!

Why, when I faithfully provide meter readings on time, each month, does OVO still give estimated readings on my bills?

We have acquired the freehold of a property with  6 leaseholders. There is no separate  electricity supply for the communal areas.  Instead the supply for communal  lighting, sockets emergency lighting, smoke alarms etc.   is all taken from and paid for by  one or other of the leasehold properties.   So we want to rewire the property  installing an extra meter in the switch room  through which  all the power for the communal areas will be taken. The total electricity consumption  for the property should not change and on that basis we have been told the existing  3 phase supply to the property  will be adequate for the purpose.  How should we proceed?

Hello is there anyone who can point me in the right direction of assistance getting my account sorted as being charged high estimated billing when property was empty and no one is listening.!! Wrote a complaint letter with no response, tried online chat and got nowhere. They are refusing to accept photos of meter, now had smart meter fitted and still not got anywhere as threatening to increase direct debit again on estimated readings! thanks 

Why has my online account lost my meter reading history for my non-smart gas meter?I note that the font has changed on the entry page, so OVO must have made a change to this feature and now that they have made that change, my previous readings have all disappeared.Is this a bug, or a new feature?Do other people see this issue? 

Forgive what must be a rather strange question, from two, completely at a loss, octogenarians.We live in a two bed flat in a protected environment, which was built in 1992.The flat uses electricity only:Heating, rads, immersion heaterCooking, microwave, hob, ovenWasher/DrierLighting - all low energy bulbsShower, towel railsTV, computer, BBI make a point of lowing heat settings and turning off heating in rooms not in useOur bill for electricity has skyrocketed, now at over £812 in debit, with a suggested increase to a monthly  DD to £431 to achieve a year end balance.We are also now informed that we are using 103% more than other similar properties, how can this be?Any thoughts/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

I use the OVO Energy integration to monitor and record my energy usage in Home Assistant, and I noticed today that the integration stopped providing data to my meter reading entities around 4 days ago. Does anyone know if this is a temporary thing and what the cause is?

Hi - I have an OVO account for dual fuel pay monthly, but recently got divorced. I'd like to change my name back to my maiden name, how can I do this?

Can I change from Economy 10 to Economy 7 online?

Hi all, I'm extremely vulnerable person. I'm scared of everything. I've been using my gas boiler more than usual, especially since I've had the winter payment help from the government, to have on heating and more baths. It's basically doubled my normal usage I'm TERRIFIED that when I send my readings (not a smart meter and I give monthly reading), they'll ring me and say it's too high and come and remove my gas meter and replace it as they'll assume it's faulty, but it's not, I've been checking every day.I can't have disruption or be without gas.  😓

Good afternoon,According to my ovo bill, I’m on the following tariff:Simpler Energy - Economy 10 My property is an all electric flat, originally supplied by SSE but subsequently transferred to OVO.I have always been on economy 10. I have a smart meter, which was fitted by OVO. To ensure that I’m not getting fleeced, I want to check: the hours of the day that are deemed off-peak the price rates being applied to the off-peak and peak hours.How can I check the above? thanks in advance

My local area had its gas supply upgraded by northern gas from old pipes to new and when they did this they ran new gas pipes up to every property and capped them. If you used gas they attached your meter and everything was uncapped and back to normal.We do not use any gas in our property so our supply is capped outside our property to an empty white box.we still have the meter we always had inside the property but its not connected to a supply or any appliances (ie cooker, heating) it just sits there doing nothing.i spoke to someone at Ovo and they wanted £80 to remove it even though it’s not connected to any supply, so we left it in as the standing charge is about the same.We are at the end of our contract with OVO now and we will save money if we change supplier.My questions are....do I still have to pay for both gas and electric with the new supplier?Who does the redundant meter belong to when we do change?

My new SMETS 2 meters were installed in mid September.  Since then, there has been no change in my account page.  The last entry there was that my electricity and gas were to be supplied from 5 May.  My smart gas meter does not appear to be sending any data, I’m only getting a feed from the electricity meter.I would like an idea of my usage, given the state of the fuel industry at the moment, I would at least like to have an idea if I will be in for some nasty surprises downstream. 

HiHas anybody else received an email proposing an increase in Direct Debit on a fixed rate deal with 14 months to run

I posted a question on here recenyly entitled “constantly changing direct debit”. It had responses and comments. I have the emails and notifications on this page to indicate it existed. I have gone to read further replies and theres an error page “page not found” and on my profile it shows I havent started any threads. Please explain why its been removed as now highly suspicious of this forums management. I dont believe any rules were broken. 

How much do OVO change to have meter tails upgraded from 16mm2 to 25mm2?

I have built up a few hundred pound in credit - can I use this to lower my direct debit rather than applying for the payment to be sent to me?

I received a frightening letter from Ovo stating I had an overdue balance that was transferred to LCS debt collection agency despite me paying my final bill 3 years ago. They said I had been identified through a trace with Experian and it’s for almost 300. I have been paying my final bill via monthly direct debits but this bill is completely separate to me- not linked to my email or number and for after I vacated the property. I have spent 5 hours back and forth over the last few days and have had extremely frustrating calls with customer service who keep telling me to call the debt agency. What concerns me is I am on the verge of getting my first mortgage and my anxiety and the stress of this is sending me over the edge. I have emails from my landlord to state that I had vacated and also emails from my employment at the time as I relocated and was in new work accommodation but originally the property was managed by an estate agent and I had a tenancy but the landlord took it over. I o

I today noticed a big difference between an email that said I had a £1,169.70 credit and my App account now saying I owed £513.27. i don’t get the estimate issue as have a smart meter, that is what they are for, no? But here’s the kicker, I now have an email today (11/6) saying why. The email says they are not allowed to go back more than a year and they calculate they charged me £2,746.40 instead of £4,059.32 (£1312.92 undercharged). it seems because I was overpaying (and took a credit of £1,000 on 26th June 2024) my balance was £3,982.55 in said period so they would credit me the £76.77 shortfall only. Surely penalising someone for having too much credit is against the spirit of Ofgem’s rules. I have budgeted a certain amount of money and suddenly i am being charged an extra £1,236.15 (45%) for a period that expired over a year ago.  If I had merely paid the minimum amounts or taken that £1,000 16 day earlier then I would be £1,000 better off. That’s got to be wrong

So whilst i was away the My OVO app showed i was burning 30p a day of gas. Now i use NEST so i turned the thermostat to off before going I have no other gas appliance so unsure what to-do, i have OVO smart meters so could they be sending false data?
