I have moved to a home which was supplied by OVO. I received a letter with my account number but when I try to set up My OVO, I get an error that my information is incorrect (I think I know what my birthdate is so not sure what OVO’s problem is).

  • I have tried calling you - 45+ mins waiting time with no luck of speaking to one of your reps; 
  • I tried chat - number 160 in the queue so maybe I’ll be able to speak to someone by 10pm this evening?; 

I would love to get back to my previous supplier once I sort this nonsense out, their customer service was brilliant. 

So please someone let me know how I can set up an account, I pay you for my first month and I leave you ASAP and go back to Octopus. 

Hi @CC89 ,

Try https://switch.ovoenergy.com instead - you need to create a new account, not re-use the existing one. You can’t leave OVO until you do so.


Hi @CC89,

 

I’m sorry to hear this.

 

Have you tried contacting the team via social media? They’d be able to double check the details we have on our system for you.

Please let me know if you’ve managed to get this sorted.

 

 


I’ve created a new account as suggested. That was done yesterday but I’m yet to receive any communication from OVO that the new account has been set up. 


Hi @CC89,

 

Were you given an account number? Have you checked your spam/junk email folder to see if you’ve received an email confirming this?


No - I don’t have anything in my SPAM folder and I still cannot get through to anyone from customer care 


Hi @CC89,

 

I’m really sorry for the issues you’ve been experiencing, that’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers.

 

I’m going to have our Forum_Support team reach out to you so they can help you further with this. Look out for a private message here soon: https://forum.ovoenergy.com/inbox/overview
