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.

I  have the same problem here. I paid my monthly account by visa debit yesterday morning, still showing no sign of payment in my OVO account, this needs to be sorted quickly.

Same issue. Paid with Mastercard credit and Mastercard debit on Tuesday 23rd January. The latter transaction was made because the former transaction did not appear in my OVO account so I retried with a different account. Both transactions have completed but the transactions do not show in my OVO account.

 

My latest bill was generated today (Thursday 25th January) and my OVO account is now in debit. I would like to resolve this quickly.

To give an update, one of the three transactions that were made on Tuesday 23rd January are now visible in my OVO account; two Mastercard credit transactions and one Mastercard debit transaction.
