Hey @robertwines,

 

Really sorry to hear this,

 

Just to clarify, did you send the money using the wrong OVO account number as a reference? If so, I’m sorry this has taken so long it should be quite simple to move these funds and assign them to your account. If you paid the amount into the wrong bank account (not OVOs), you’ll need to contact your bank to get the money returned to your account.

I rang OVO agaiin today. A man named Josh,was very helpful.He said ,he can put a hold on me,getting any more outstanding balance bills.for 20 days.,,,,As it could take that long to look into the outstanding bill….!!!!!!!!! [which has already been paid]Today I paid £73.40.,as that is what I think I owe. So I can only wait now.
