Card payment still not showing- Is this affecting other customers?

I'm on pay monthly direct debit. I decided to make an extra payment to put more money in my account. Usually it shows within a couple of hours but it still isn't showing. That was 2 days ago. Why hasn't my credit balance been updated?

I talked to a customer service rep using the online chat after getting past the bot but got the same response i.e. talk to another department tomorrow. I experienced this last summer being sent into an eternal loop of being passed from the department to department and It took hours and hours and many weeks until it was sorted, always been told “give it a couple of days.”

My bank account statement shows that ovo has taken the money from my bank account. So why doesn't it show on my ovo account?

Having no true customer service that can service the customer for my energy via chat, telephone… It makes me very nervous I know question whether it's worth staying with over for the sake of power move or switching to a supplier which can give me certainty of support. After all, what price for peace of mind? I know that sounds like a tough thing to say but that's how this ongoing issue makes me feel. Sorry.

If there's anyone out there who can help with this matter, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you

Hi everyone, 

 

Thanks to everyone that has shared details of how they’ve been affected. 

 

This issue, where payments that are made aren’t showing on the OVO account, has been resolved overnight for any future payments. So I’m hoping everyone reporting issues were affected before today, the 25th January, as most of the comments in this topic suggests. 

 

We’re working out the details of our approach to getting the accounts of anyone affected updated. We’re sorry for any inconvenience causes by this.

Hey @Kall,

 

I’m sorry to hear this,

 

How did you make the extra payment? This information will help me provide advice.

Hi there,

I’m in exactly the same position as this. I made an extra card payment on Monday. It has been paid out of my bank account but there is no sign of it on my OVO account. I haven’t yet tried to contact OVO about this but I will do if the payment I made is not reflected in my account by tomorrow afternoon. If I don’t get anywhere with that, I’ll be contacting my bank.

I used visa debit.

I just checked again btw. It still hasn't updated.

I used a mastercard debit for my payment.

Exactly the same problem here.  I paid my monthly account by visa debit tuesday and it was taken from my bank account yesterday. Normally shows on my OVO account within a few hours but still showing as not paid this morning

It's strange this isn't it. I've always made extra card payments and never seen this problem occur before.

This was my first time making an extra payment. The confirmation page did indicate it wouldn’t show on my account immediately but I’d have expected it to be visible 3 days later. Somewhat reassuring to know others are having the same issue, but it needs to be resolved. As things stand, the £150 I added the other day has gone down a black hole somewhere.

I can see we’re aware of an issue yesterday and it’s taken longer than expected to resolve. 

 

We expect that these payments will be added to your OVO accounts when this is resolved. If we have any more specific advice to share we will do that here.

Thank for getting onto this quickly. It seems like there will hopefully be light at the end of the tunnel.
