OVO Energy Australia Avis 299

Greedy crappy company sneaky on their app don’t resolve problems, technical support can’t think outside of the box happy to take and put up prices avoid this company they don’t manage in favour of customers and when you think it is resolved they change everything back to the problem again avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid

Poor customer service. Unwilling to reschedule a meter install threatening of $$$$$ fee for it. Poor duty of care. I would not recommend this company at all. I would leave zero stars if I could

The matter started from a few rounds of interactions with the Customer Service staff over a few days, due to a sharp increase in my monthly direct debit amount following my opted to a seemingly better electricity plan, without being aware that it'd trigger a much higher monthly direct debit.

Luckily Jasmine who is part of OVO's leadership team stepped in after I felt disappointed with the responses from OVO, mainly due to their lacks of seeing the matter from a consumer point of view.

Jasmine was a great role model, as she demonstrated her listening skills, as well as seeing things from the customer's perspectives. She had not only resolved my raised concerns, but also offered an even better option to suit my electricity usage patterns.

It has been a great experience and I'd commend Jasmine for her personal effort and commitment to uplifting OVO's customer service satisfaction through better training their staff!

Never use this company, still trying to take charge me for someone elses electricity 6 months after account being closed and all bills being payed total scam

OVO Energy has been absolutely terrible to deal with. After undercharging me for two and a half years, they suddenly dumped the accumulated amount onto my bill without any prior warning or explanation, causing my monthly bill to jump from $66 to $159.

When I questioned this massive increase, customer service had the audacity to blame me, saying I should have been monitoring my bills. I am a single-person household. How exactly am I meant to know their per-kilowatt calculations or detect their billing mistakes?

To make things worse, OVO has now effectively trapped me by placing this unwanted “debt” on my account, limiting my ability to switch providers. This situation exists purely because of their failure, yet I’m the one being punished for it.

This is not transparent, not ethical, and completely unacceptable. I strongly recommend staying away from OVO Energy and choosing a provider that actually takes responsibility for its errors. This experience feels incredibly unfair and honestly borders on a scam.

I switched just a few days ago, and in less than a week of service, they’re already charging me $115. They don’t send you a detailed bill so you can check your usage. They simply send a message saying they’re going to charge you that amount. I deeply regret it. I'm going back to my previous energy supplier before it’s too late.

WORST company to deal with. WONT get physical reading of meter before taking over supply, meaning that I could get ripped of big time by previous supplier!!!! Call center is a joke - asked to be transfered to manager but offshore call centre worker refused!!!!! Look elsewhere for energy supply!

I made error when paying the account via BPay and sent them over $200 more than the bill. You can forget contacting them and it is clear the account is in credit over $200 I have emailed them and my bank. Stone mother silence. This company runs on the old school make it easy to sign up and as difficult as possible to do anything post this. Avoid at all cost. Not a customer centric bone in their DNA

What a complete joke of a company being trying to get my digital meter fixed since the 1st of may…phoned again today trying to get this fixed and after being on hold for a hour got promised they would phone tonight at 6:30pm tonight when I got home made them send me a email saying they would call back at the time they agreed to got the email but again no phone call… do yourself a favour and stay well clear

Worst customer service ever very rude and they are not even cheapesr

The agent went with the details and beyond in explaining all the rates and also how the battery works.

Jasmine was lovely, efficient and knew what she was talking about, offering me a number of alternatives on how I could use my excess funds.

Jess answered my query and gave good advice moving forward.

A log of my previous calls requesting invoices & usage details will show that whilst your personnel tried to determine the problem, nothing was achieved until yesterday, when I received advice of credits, but still no invoices. Today's call to Jasmine had her research the problem & resolve it rapidly with patience & cordiality - full marks!

I love their bill smoothing feature that month in, month out, your electricity bill is the same. Plus being on an EV plan, we're paying $115/month yet we're more than $800 in credit due to free electricity.

No wait time and a customer service staff member who was patient and attentive. This is what customer service is about!
Highly recommend.
