Dreadful company

Dreadful company. Requested payment on the 5th of the month, but can’t change until after the first collection, waited, requested again.more than once.
Received confirmation of change.however, this was incorrect as it remained the same.
Collected payment on the wrong day, tried to change it numerous times so cancelled the direct debit.
It was re-instated - No email confirmation & I hadn’t requested the direct debit be re-instated.
Very untrustworthy business.
Tried emailing copious amounts of times, without a single reply.
Finally went onto chat where i have been told this will be resolved.
Dreadful company.
No way to change the date or the amount of direct debit.
Will be changing as soon as I can.
Also requested date of birth ????
Why do they need this ???
All sorts of info requested, don’t trust them.

Hello Miss Jones,

We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced trying to change your Direct Debit date, particularly after receiving confirmation that the change had been made.

To clarify, customers can request a preferred monthly payment date after their first payment has been collected, so what you were trying to do is something we do accommodate. If you subsequently received confirmation of a new date but the payment was still collected on the original date, we completely understand why that caused frustration and why you repeatedly contacted us.

We're also concerned that you say your emails went unanswered. Having to make the same request several times, only to ultimately resort to cancelling the Direct Debit, isn't the experience we want customers to have.

Regarding the Direct Debit being reinstated, we would want to review exactly what happened before commenting on your individual account. Outfox tariffs generally require an active Direct Debit and our terms set out how mandates and collections are managed, but we appreciate your concern if you believe a mandate was reinstated without any communication or explanation.

We would also like to reassure you regarding the request for your date of birth. This type of personal information can be requested for account security and identity verification purposes, helping us ensure we're discussing or making changes to an account with the correct person. It isn't requested arbitrarily.

We're pleased that you have now managed to speak to someone through Live Chat and have been advised that the issue will be resolved. We're sorry it took so much effort to reach that point and hope the changes requested are now completed correctly.

Kind regards,

Outfox Energy

Andrej was extremely helpful explaining the options available for renewing my fixed rate dual fuel tariff.
Despite all my questions, he was very patient, so thank you Andrej!

The initial gentleman I spoke to Andre and Rii

The initial gentleman I spoke to Andre did not quite convince me of the calculations I was looking for, but he was good enough to put me onto a senior advisor Rii, who not only understood my problem that took me through a calculation which proved that I would be best staying with outFox energy.

Customer service experience

Spoke to Sadia today regarding various queries around my energy consumption, end of my current tariff and credit I had accrued in my account. She was very friendly and courteous and resolved my concerns efficiently and satisfactorily. Excellent customer service

Fantastic response !!

Don’t believe the hype this company currently holds £400 of my money and the model is obviously to keep as much as they can to invest. No way does my direct debit need to be so high they have offered to reduce it by £20 from £278 big deal.

Got a call from Ibrar who resolved all of my issues straight away. Outstanding service and a company that cares about their customers situation.

Reply from Outfox Energy

Hello Mr Clayton,

We're sorry that you're unhappy with the level of credit on your account and your current Direct Debit.

We would, however, like to clarify that Outfox Energy does not deliberately build up customer credit balances in order to use that money for investment. Your Direct Debit is calculated using factors including historical consumption, projected annual usage, tariff rates and the balance already held on the account.

With fixed monthly Direct Debits, some credit will often accumulate during periods of lower consumption to contribute towards higher usage during the colder months. However, we appreciate that a £400 credit balance alongside a £278 monthly payment will naturally lead you to question whether your Direct Debit remains appropriate.

The £20 reduction offered will have been based on the information available when the account was reviewed, rather than an attempt to retain as much credit as possible. That said, if you believe your projected consumption is significantly lower, we would encourage you to provide up-to-date meter readings and request a further review so that your actual usage can be considered.

Customers can also request a refund of surplus credit, subject to the account being reviewed to ensure sufficient funds remain to cover anticipated consumption.

We understand why you want reassurance that you're paying an appropriate amount rather than unnecessarily building a large credit balance, and we're sorry that this wasn't explained more clearly when you contacted us.

Kind regards,

Outfox Energy

Unable to port existing contract to new property

Although im very disappointed with the outcome, Connor did a great job explaining what can and can not be done when i move house with regards my contract. His explanation was polite, courteous, clear and showed a human element. Thanks Connor.
As for Outfox, really poor that i cannot port my existing contract to my new property and maintain the benefits of the fixed rate i had secured. 0/5 for that.
