I rang to talk about changing my tariff. Because of my age (82) I was a little confused, but I was talked through the whole process and changed the tariff successfully.

Octopus Energy are interfering with my payments
Octopus Energy set the amount of my direct debit. I understand the principle of building up a surplus for the winter months but, in my calculations, it is excessive. Certainly last year we had to drastically reduce the direct debit to rundown the large surplus. The same thing is happening again this year and I have nearly £1000 credit and they want to increase my monthly direct debit to £279 from £234. I keep trying to reduce the direct debit to £100 as I would like to see the credit come down to a more sensible level as this is money which accrues no interest. Moreover, it suggests a rather patronising attitude to my finances that I couldn’t manage a large bill should it ever come later in the winter.
However each time I reset the direct debit to £100 it gets changed back to £279 seemingly while I’m not looking. This has happened three times now if it does happen again I will have to cancel the direct debit.
Excellent customer service
Excellent customer service. No long wait on hold to speak to a human. The agent that dealt with me was attentive, well informed, and resolved all my issues and questions quickly. This is what customer service should always be like.
Nice to talk to a human
Nice to talk to a human. The lady tried to make things simple however the tarrif sent on the email was different to the octopus app? Not sure if I'd have to pay to change to a more suitable tarrif? Hopefully the process will be smooth!

Account in credit and every 6 month wanting to increase my payment! I refuse to fund running a business with 8 million customers if they sorted that side of the business they would get a 5 star.
Quick and good

Octopus will always be my go to provider. Excellent customer service, always. When I had a problem that didn’t fit with the normal Q&A’s they went above and beyond to resolve it for me as quickly as possible. I have been with them for years and would never choose anyone else. Love that they offer power down sessions and opportunities for free power too.
Non appearance of bill
I submitted meter readings as I do every month, on 3rd November. After speaking to your AI bot I was put through to an energy adviser but I don't recall his name, he was very helpful and took my readings.
Normally my bill is completed in 24 hours and I am still waiting. You have taken my monthly payment and my bill is always sent to me before this.
Very polite and helpful
Renault - Octopus apps
Prompt replies to my messages fromLucy regarding my car charging problem.
I was in contact with Renault at the same time who probably came up with the solution to my problem which octopus couldn't have fixed.
