Octopus has miss-registered my meter as commercial and is failing to rectifying their issue, making it impossible to switch away to my preferred supplier.

I have had countless emails and phone calls and not one has been helpful.

How supportive Customer Service were.

My switch over will take place on the 14.9.26 and there has been a few little questions that I needed answers to. Sabina emailed me with all the answers so quickly it’s never happened with my previous supplier. I actually felt very supported and very glad I have made the decision to change suppliers. I would definitely recommend octopus energy to friends.

Fantastic Customer service, and a real person

I made an error manually entering a gas meter reading, and was unable to change it on this occasion. I needed a quick response from Customer service before I was automatically overcharged by a significant amount. I emailed customer service, and before I could go and take a photo of the meter just in case, Sam had responded and sorted the issue. Less than five minutes from time I sent the email! This fantastic customer service in one of the main reasons I have no intention of leaving Octopus Energy
