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.

It sounds like the backlog is currently being processed now. Please allow a couple more days for it to clear and if still doesn’t look right, Support can dig deeper for you.

I paid my mums bill on Tuesday still not showing as paid on app. Unfortunately mum doesn't have internet banking so not sure if it has come out of her account yet.

Paid my bill on 11.01.24 £195 and still not showing on my account. Now received another bill which combines 2 bills and now £400 in debt. Last 3 days trying to resolve this and still no answer. Very stressful and time consuming.

I’ve paid my bill 2 weeks ago at PayPoint and still not showing on my account. After trying to sort this out, been told on 17.01.24 it may take 10 days to sort it, then another time frame given - 28 days. Just wondering why it’s taking so much time to find my payment when I’ve provide them all the details plus the photo of the receipt. Is PayPoint a part of OVO?

No. PayPoint is owned by PayPoint Plc and isn’t part of OVO Group. They’re completely separate entities - which would have to be the case to avoid one being dominant over the other.

It’s worth remembering that PayPoint and Payzone don’t just do utility bill payments either. They also have other purposes so arguably have to remain under a neutral owner from any of their clients (and arguably, also from each other).
