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 @Debbief 

 

Sorry to hear you’ve been affected by this issue.

 

Please do contact the Support Team about this so that they can look into the matter. They’ll be able to locate and add that payment on for you.

 

If you’ve still got the receipt that’ll be extremely helpful, along with information on how and when the payment was made.

Keep us updated with how you get on.

I spoke to a lady yesterday who was very helpful. I checked my OVO online account and thankfully it is now showing as the payment has been received
