Is anyone else having issues with anytime credit noted in the app not being credited in full to their bill. This happened to me in May, Jun and now agin July. Ohme integration was claimed to be the problem for May and Jun but told it was fixed but same again for Jul with circa £25 missing in credit. It took 6 or so calls and 3 complaints raised with a different agent each time before the May issue was resolved.

Contacted them and the Complaints Team several times last month and assured would not happen again but it has so contacted them yet again. Losing faith with OVO sadly.

Thanks for letting us know ​@PJC15 - I imagine the complaint will have to be reopened. I really hope they can get this resolved quickly for you.

 

If you don’t mind, we’d appreciate if you could update us on how this pans out, and what the root cause of the issue is here. Fingers crossed this is all sorted soon.

Morning ​@martynprice99 and a warm welcome to the OVO Forum. I’ve added the EV badge to your Forum account.

 

I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had the same issue. When you say you’ve made calls about it, was this to the Charge Anytime team?

 

How to get in contact with the Charge Anytime team

 

  • Call 0330 175 9678 (Option 1 new customers/option 2 existing customers) 

  • Email via chargeanytime@ovo.com

  • Webchat, click the link then the green chat icon at the bottom right of the page

 

If you’ve been in contact with Charge Anytime, please could you let us know what they’ve said to you by way of trying to get this resolved? I’m wondering whether ​@PJC15 ever had a resolution put in place?

Yes and surprise, surprise it’s happened again now the fourth month in a row ie since the Ohme / OVO spat and software changes. Get a grip OVO - SORT IT OUT. IF FINGERS CROSSED IS THE OVO SOLUTION TO PROBLEMS I CAN ASSURE YOU IT DOES WORK

Charge Anytime did credit my account each month with the missing credit eventually after significant time spent writing emails, sending screenshots (sometimes the same ones to 2 or 3 ) different departments and lengthy time on the phone.  Extremely poor customer service and it has happened again for the 4th month in a row hence the ‘shouting’ post made earlier today!

https://forum.ovoenergy.com/members/ben-ovo-56099 Yes spoke to charge anytime had to email them screen shots of my app with my savings.

Sent this got email back saying should have a reply in 3 to 4 days this was on the 12 August no reply 

sent another email on 26 August same again.

sent another email yesterday and copied in the complaint department.

 

lets see what happens next, they have now increased my monthly direct debit due to my credits not being correct, don’t see why I have to pay more for OVO cock ups.

Me too. I only noticed it when I checked June and July invoices. I have Ohme charger, I contacted OVO twice and got a phone call in which they apologised and said credit would appear on next bill. Ive now got August bill and the owed credit is there but the charge anytime credit for August is only showing £8 when it should be £20 or so. 

All charges have been Smart Charges controlled by the Charge Anytime App. 

If OVO gave an issue with their system they should come clean and explain,

For a company the size of OVO and their EV charge anytime base it’s astounding that the hadn’t stress tested the accuracy of the supposed new software and anytime app before their fall out with Ohme. To have opted to move away from a system that worked so well with Ohme (No errors in the preceding 12 months with correct credit applied on time in the actual billing period ie Aug credit was paid to the Aug bill) to one that is obviously not fit for purpose is staggering particularly when the have the cheek to post cr&*p like this:

 ‘We’ve recently updated the technology behind Charge Anytime. This is so we can keep making improvements and create new products that reward customers for driving EVs’ - NOT TRUE.  Perhaps Ben the moderator on this forum would care to get someone senior in OVO to come on this forum and explain why these issues truly exist rather than the line their coal face staff have to spout when they also know that the ‘updated technology’ is not an ‘improvement’. Sadly I won’t hold my breath.

I am lucky that my car is compatible with the ‘new technology’ and just have issues with receiving credit. I feel sorry for all those EV customers OVO recommended an Ohme installation too and have fixed energy contracts whose vehicles are no longer compatible with their ‘improvements’ They just left them in the lurch in a fixed contract with no means of utilising the excellent tariff they had signed up to OVO for. The internet and forums like this have comments from thousands and thousands of furious customers. SHAME ON YOU OVO, AND SHAME AGAIN.
