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 🙄

Agree that doesn't sound right under any circumstances. 

I think calls to OVO are recorded.

The complaint process is here.

Basically 8 weeks after submitting your complaint if it is not resolved you can ask the Energy Ombudsman for help. 

Make sure you have a complaint case number. You should also be given the name of a complaint handler.

Alternatively you can try asking for a deadlock letter before that. 

 

The quickest way to raise a complaint is to call or email us. You can reach us via a British Sign Language Interpreter too. Please let us know as much as you can about the problem. We'll also need your OVO account number, address, and contact details.

We’ll sort your complaint straight away if we can. If we’re not able to, we'll:

  • Let you know what will happen next and how long we expect it to take

  • Ask how you'd like us to contact you

  • Keep you updated along the way

  • Share if there's any support available from services outside of OVO

Instruct a solicitor to sue them!

We have said this a million times as Forum Volunteers - please don’t do that! It costs a fortune and nobody wins. If you don’t get anywhere internally, use the Energy Ombudsman.

Given the Civil Procedure Rules and Pre-Action Protocol, you don’t have a choice but to go Ombudsman first anyway...
