“1) As Ofgem have given all six of these energy companies, plus the gas that they provide, the green light, starting January 1st, twenty twenty-five, to increase the gas and electric prices, along with the standing charge fees, yet again set by them to themselves on both sets of meters, set differently for the gas and electric. These charges are going up as well, and they are set independently from one another, with Ofgem giving them the green light to set them at whatever they want.
2) These companies have made your lives miserable in order to financially gain wealth and posterity at the expense of your circumstances. They are building their own wealth and future on the misery of others, forcing you to pay for their profits while they thrive off your struggle.
3) And for those who locked themselves into fixed deals, thinking they’d be better off, they’ve been screwed over by all six of these companies. These companies worked hard this year to lock people into fixed deals, making them believe they were going to come out on top compared to people who didn’t lock themselves into a deal. But they didn’t. In fact, they’ve come out worse because they believed they would get a better deal, only to find out they were wrong. The only ones who truly benefitted from locking people into these deals were the staff who worked tirelessly to get people to sign up, in order to secure their own paychecks, while screwing over customers who thought they would be better off financially by doing so.
4) These companies must be held accountable for the financial strain they are causing to households across the country. They must be made to drop their prices and bring down the service charges that are set by themselves and regulated by Ofgem, who have given them free reign to set them at whatever they choose. This is not acceptable, and these actions must be addressed.
5) They are gaining wealth and posterity at your expense to themselves.”
“This company keeps threatening me so bad l nearly took my own life saying l own money when l don't l pay the bill on app every month now they threatening me with bailiffs when I've done DRO if l.could put 0 stars l would”
“Dodgy back hander deal with Bridgefords estate agents who sold our personal information to them so they could illegally take over energy supply and tried everything to hang on to it....... disgusting behavior from an unscrupulous set of crooks.”
“I have never been with OVO energy, never!! I am with british gas gave been for over 15 years.over the last 3 months i have been receiving threatenung leters infirming me i havent paid my enegy bills! I have phoned and phoned and still cant get them to understand they have the wrong customer. I am a recently widowed pensioner and it is so stressful.i have just received the last letter informing me the baliffs will be contacted. Im scared! Dont know which way to turn. How can i get them to understand they have the wrong person. Its occupier on the lwttersno name? And the post code is not the right one for my address. I have spent hours on the phone trying to tell them but they wont listen. They are the worst energy company, i had never heard of them till these letters started arriving, how can they get away with threatening innocent people and getting away with it!”
“Appalling company, we paid a month in
advance to have our meter moved so the wall it was on could be knocked down. No one turned up from Ovo to do it. Spent hours on the phone to them chasing .
SSEN had already disconnected electricity as booked. Ended up 11 hours without electricity. SSEN saved the day and came back out and reconnected electricity for us. Spent hours on phone trying to arrange another appointment for the meter to be moved .
Our building work has been held up because of Ovo’s non appearance for their appointment.”
“1). It’s the worst energy and gas supplier on the market. They’re more bothered about their own online presence in order to attract new customers than actually dealing with their existing customers, whom they bark orders at. This didn’t include what they were going to do with all of the Ex SSE customers they inherited during the 2023 switchover, whom they brought then in to line with their own customers at OVO energy by using coercive and controlling behavior to force them into compliance.
2). They are childish. They have a mixture of obnoxious, childish behavior on the customer services side, as well as their billing system, where they deliberately overcharge you for using their gas and energy supply. They charge both of your meters at different ludicrously extortionate prices for both individual meters.
3). All of these suppliers—Ovo Energy and the others—are deliberately overcharging you for usage. They are providing services to you from them to you, with their meters on both energy and gas, and their daily standing charges on both sets of meters, which are set differently from one another. All six of these energy and gas suppliers are as bad as each other, charging you extortionate rates for energy and gas.
4). They blatantly disregard and disrespect you as their customers, while all of their focus is on attracting new customers to improve their own online image. They completely fail to provide fair pricing and decent customer service.
5). They are taking advantage of their customers by deliberately overcharging them for both energy and gas because they provide both to you and force you to use them, and their rates are unjustifiable.”
“OVO are an appalling, unprofessional company, none of their team are remotely aware of customers individual cases and simply send out isolated emails that are not linked up. With thousands of pounds in credit they deliberately fobbed me off with excuses and delaying tactics, this was possibly in-house strategies to avoid paying customers their money back. I would recommend changing to another provider, simple.”
“OVO has fraud my account to request my current supplier to switch to OVO without authorisation. I've reported to Police and will take further action against this fraud.”
“1. OvoEnergy is the worst company in the energy and gas market. They don’t help customers at all; instead, they just bark orders. They tell customers, ‘Do this, do that,’ and make demands without any genuine help. Their approach isn’t about helping—it’s about ordering customers around and pushing their own agenda, which is all about what they can get for themselves, not the customer. 👀 😡 😤 😈 👎 💶
2. This two-faced, rude, and arrogant behavior makes it clear they don’t care about what customers actually need or want from an energy or gas supplier. Many of us wish they’d leave the industry for good. Their complete disregard for customer well-being makes them unfit to be in business." 👀 😡 😤 😈 👎 💶”
“Would I recommend OVO , NO, there costumer services don't know what they are talking about plus when you agree something OVO do that opposite, don't trust them, edf offer better packages”
“So after being a customer of OVO for 15 years I decided to see if I was on the most competitive tariff and to my shock I wasn't. I was informed it was my responsibility to keep an eye on my tariff not OVO to do it for me. I thought this is what I paid for?? So, I agree a deal and the EV department are to call me back to swap over as the main department can't. I speak with a man called Alex who assures me I will get a call Friday, later that day I am promised Monday. Tuesday comes and still nothing so I get another promise Alex and the EV department will call and nothing. After 3 promises I met a guy called Henry from Octopus, he sorted the switch, a new tariff and the EV charge within 9 minutes. Shame on OVO I will never spend another penny with you. Now an Octopus customer.”
“I’m appalled by you own telephone service manners yourselves at OVO energy by putting the phone down to me on the 04th/11/2024 of November time & this is a diabolical service to use at OVO energy & are a disgusting & vile evil company yourselves to deal with you yourselves full stop at OVO energy & had no rights whatsoever to buy your own rival company out that you did do yourselves anyway at SSE back in 2019. 👀 😤 😈 😡 ☎️ 👎 💶”
“My second time complaining about this company. I had to email the CEO last time and this as their customer service is diabolical. When prepayment meter cards don’t work the bot and phone operators tell you they have their rti cards at local shops. They don’t!!!! Was told yesterday after putting 65 pounds on unbeknownst to me was a smart card sent when I’m on a traditional meter that the funds were on the card and they weren’t I’m now awaiting another call from ovo to get this sorted and to be able to top up on yet another card being sent. Let’s hope this time it doesn’t take 10 days! Ovo get your act together and sort out your services!!!”
“They opened an account in my name without my consent, then sent letters saying I had outstanding debt to pay, then got a debt recovery team involved and added a charge for them onto my so called bill expecting me to pay them too.”
“I’ve once again been left stranded without electricity for the 3rd time since being switched over from SSE. It wasn’t a great start to begin with and has been an absolute nightmare ever since, continuous issues with the not so smart meter. To make matters even worse are the ignorance and incompetent customer service advisors, who need intensive retraining and people skills!
I’m actually traumatised by my recent experience and won’t be continuing with this abysmal company, I can’t wait to see the back of OVO and never have to deal with their diabolical service ever again”
“1. Ovo Energy is focus-driven, but not in a way that benefits their customers.
2. They bark orders and are solely focused on their own financial gain, making sure they profit according to their pay schedules—whether weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. And that's not even including all the little perks they get you to sign up for but don’t mention upfront, like direct debit, locking you into a fixed 12-month contract with promises of discounts on your gas or electric that don’t materialize. They don’t disclose important terms and conditions, such as the exit fees you yourself are expected to pay for leaving early or moving to another supplier.
3. These things are kept well hidden in the small print, and they don’t expect you to read them or fully understand what you’re reading. They also don’t mention the service charges on both sets of meters, which are set at different rates."”
“Worst energy supplier ever! Couldn’t pay any bills for 5 months due to their merger with SSE. Ombudsman failed to help me but agreed OVO were out of order. I was Billed for incorrect payments they notified me only after 9 months then demanded full amount. I’m £600 in debt due to on going multi meter scam. They still went by estimates even after submitted meter readings. They have the Most expensive 3 tier tariff system. Rip off bills & poor customer service. Their own engineer failed to read meter correctly. Worst energy supplier ever. All within one year. Stay clear. Greedy idiots. I’ve never been so depressed in my life! Try everyone but OVO.”
