OVO Holding on to my Money (488.24) With No Refund Date

The worst part of dealing with OVO is getting your refund. After switching suppliers, OVO retained my credit balance despite having an agreed final meter reading. I am repeatedly told that my account is being reconciled and that a final bill is still pending. Worse still, they cannot provide any timeline for returning my money and have even advised me to keep my Direct Debit active. What an irony.

A very disappointing experience. Customers deserve better transparency, communication, and faster refunds.

I had an excellent experience with customer services. I spoke with Calum, who was friendly, professional, and attentive. He listened to my concerns, addressed them promptly, and resolved my issue with great patience. I am very grateful for his excellent service. Thank you.

worth the wait for the kindness I was given

well even though it took ages to get through I was treated so well and times taken to sort out my problem. Both advisors I spoke to were just lovely. Nokuthula and Meg especially helped me so much and it was a very good outcome for me because of these ladies.

Extremely poor service from OVO Energy

Extremely poor service from OVO Energy! I moved out of my property in August 2025, reported my move and closed my account. Yet, more than a year later, they are still emailing me and demanding payment for a property I no longer live in.
How incompetent can a company be? Why should I keep dealing with their mistakes? Their poor account management and complete lack of professionalism are absolutely unacceptable. I would not recommend OVO Energy to anyone!

They are honestly the worst company…

They are honestly the worst company going. Absolute daylight robbery!

I’ve ended up cancelling my Direct Debit and now pay monthly by debit card through the app. I refuse to let them dictate how much I should be paying based on their predictions. I’ll pay what I owe, and what I owe only!

Why on earth should I let them take an extra £100 a month just so it can sit in their bank account earning them interest? And that’s not even mentioning the fact that I’m already £652 in credit, yet they still have the audacity to increase my monthly payment to £311!

An absolute joke of a company. The whole thing is ridiculous!
