I just cannot fault the service.

I just cannot fault the service.
Quick responses to enquiries.
Not sure about the wheel spinning algorythm.
I heard that if you are in credit over a certain amount.
You will never win?

Great Customer Service and No Stress

I had an issue with my export tariff not being shown on my bills, so I was missing out on credits. Tyreek sorted this out in a few days with no fuss or hassle. He also helped me with my final bill after I moved out of my property and forgot to take a meter reading. I've dealt with lots of utility companies in my work roles and Octopus is by far the best.

COMPUTER GENERATED PAYMENT INCREASE

COMPUTER GENERATED PAYMENT INCREASE

I disliked having to take time to raise the issue of a computer generated payment increase while in significant credit.

The issue however was dealt with positively by Ayanda.

No gas

Woke up on the Sunday morning thinking I had a problem with my boiler. Soon found out it was my actual gas meter thanks to Colin on the email asking me a few questions. Within 2 hours I had someone at my door fitting a new gas meter. Excellent service for a Saturday morning.

As per previous reviews about this…

As per previous reviews about this company i january this year one of their engineers called and said they were just upgradingmy electricity metre. Since then my ihd unitdoes not receiveany signal even thoughimoved it 1 meter from the electric meter. It worked finefomany years before then. Despite various complaints by me they have made no attempt to fix roblem they created. Now their latest e mail, thats all they seem to do. They now wish call it done and want to close the complaint. Very poor in my opinion.

Prompt response…

I was impressed by the prompt response to my query, even though I was unable to provide account number or details. Octopus followed up for me and were able to answer my questions about an old account and how I could settle this.
