I’ve tried to top up my PAYG smart electricity meter today as I have nearly run out of credit but I get a message saying Meter Top Up Failure. Is there a problem with topping up today? Can’t get through to anyone on the phone. Thanks for any help.

Paypoint has been struggling recently for some reason. If it keeps failing, please let Support know.

Hey @simondbarnes 

 

Sorry to hear about this, did you get the top up sorted?

Tried again just now, same problem :(

Could it be due to my switch from SSE to OVO?
