Solved

I moved to a new house but I can't top up.


I just moved into a new house, and the energy supplier is OVO. The units were running out, so i tried to top up, but it wouldn't let me do that on the app, so I had to do it online on the Web. My account was debited £20, and I got a prompt saying the transaction wasn't successful, yet my money hasn't been reversed, and I don't have units!

Sorry to hear about the issues topping up your meter. Did you manage to get in contact with our Pay as You Go Support Team?

Yes I have, and it's been sorted. Thank you. I just switched to the Contract method instead

Hi ​@Abiodun Arogunmaya ,

Please talk to OVO directly for this via https://ovoenergy.com/help

Have you opened a new account in your name with OVO, or were you trying to top up  using the previous occupiers account?

Any previous occupiers account should have been be closed if they have moved out.


I have registered to use OVO, they sent me a mail with my electricity and gas codes, and that's what I used to recharge.

Thanks, I was just checking as we do often see new owners/tenants trying to top up an old, often closed, account.

@Abiodun Arogunmaya that’s great news, I’m glad it’s sorted, and going Pay Monthly is a great option. You should hopefully now have access to your new online account and app. From the online account and app you can manage your Direct Debit, make payments, view and submit reads and check your bills, and much more!

 

I’ll link some other Forum topics below that you should find useful now that your account is set up in this way, including our tutorials for the different things you can do via our online services. Cheers!
