Why didn't OVO give me statement for the period 16/12 to 14/01 or take any direct debit.
Today I received 2 statements one for the period 16/12-14/01 and then 15/01-16/02 both listed as February statement!!!!

OVO is starting to go downhill

Sorry to hear your usual monthly billing was delayed. If you haven’t already we’d recommend logging in to your online account or OVO app (download for Android or iOS) to check whether these are available to download via the ‘Bills’ tab.
 


​​​​​​If you can’t see them, there could be a number of reasons as to why you can’t see this, so it’ll be worth raising this to the Support Team who can investigate what’s going on with your account. 

Please bear in mind if;

  • You’ve recently switched to us - it can take up to 6 weeks from your switch date to confirm all the info needed to issue your first statement, read more here.
  • You’ve just had a smart meter fitted - again, it can take up to 6 weeks from your installation date, for us to update your account and continue your billing cycle. 


Hope this helps get to the bottom of things.

Hi Everyone.

Just a follow up. I spoke the girl. on the support line and she checked her system and it said emails have been sent to me every month but I didn't receive them ( checked spam/junk ) and not there.

The girl who was very helpful then sent me an email to see if I received it and I got it right away. (Strange.)

Anyway she said to leave it with her and she will contact their Tech Dept and see what they come up with.

Sorry for boring you all and I will let you know happens.

Thanks

Having loads of issues with ovo app, on the usage page it shows that I have not used any electricity for the past 3 months, 

it only shows gas usage , but that is wrong as well,

the Wi-Fi display shows some usage but that is wrong as well.

I have not had a bill from ovo for a couple of months now, so I have no idea what I’m paying, is it correct .? 
have been in touch with ovo, they say that my meters are sending readings ok, but they do not know what is wrong,

where do I stand with this issue ?

I have sent photos of my up to date meter readings to ovo as requested,

have had no reply to all my communications, very poor customer support.

I can see this putting me in financial dire straights.

very disappointed.

Jane

Good evening @100215832 ,

This post is confirmation that your thread has been seen by one of the Forum Volunteers. Please bear with me as I need to finish writing an email and responding to a couple of Private Messages sent by users who I promised I’d get back to ASAP. Once I’ve done that, I’ll stop by here again to reply to you properly.

In the meantime, please try to keep to just one thread for this question. I can see you posted the same thing in a couple of other places as well, so I’ll arrange for those to be merged into this thread.

Thanks for your patience.

Ok, I’m back. Sorry for the wait. Handling that email and the PM’s that were in my inbox took a bit longer than I’d expected. Just so you’re aware, as a Forum Volunteer I’m unable to access your account or internal systems myself. The advice I give here is based on my personal knowledge and experience for which I can’t guarantee it’s 100% perfect.

Would I be right in thinking you may have been on the legacy billing system at some point? Just a theory, but I wonder if something got corrupted on your account if it was migrated to the new one?

However… My strongest suspicion is that something has gotten a bit corrupted with your Site and the equipment that’s been installed there. This exact issue isn’t one I recall hearing about recently, but I think I have a tool in my toybox I can give you which may or may not be of some use. It’s a self-service tool and you won’t need to speak to anyone if you use it. Because it’s also built, hosted and maintained by OVO, I won’t see your data either - it goes directly to the team that handles these things.

Could you give https://smart-meter-help.ovoenergy.com a try? It’ll ask you a few questions (don’t worry, they’re not rocket science!) and gather diagnostics in the background. If the tool is able to help, it’ll generate and submit a full diagnostic report on your behalf straight to the right team and they’ll usually get back to you once they’ve had a deeper look.

If you get stuck with the tool or any questions it asks, please let me know and I’ll help you get through it.

If you find the tool doesn’t work, please don’t worry. Let me know and I can give you the manual version that we have on this forum. All I’d need to see first is a few photos of the meter(s) so I can give you the right version.

I hope this may help you.

Have used the tool, and submitted the results,

now wait for 45 days ?????
45 days to go deeper in debt, 

just need an engineer’s visit, or is that to much to ask ????

Ok, in that case you probably weren’t on the old one - you’d know otherwise.

If the tool worked and gave you the response it has, it worked exactly as I expected. A full diagnostic has been captured and sent to the team. They’ll be in touch soon.

If they can fix the issue remotely, they will - it’s preferable to do that rather than have an engineer visit. As a last resort, an engineer can be requested by that team.
