Switched to Octopus from another energy…

Switched to Octopus from another energy firm and the whole process was made extremely easy by Sara who was friendly and super efficient. All dealt with in a very professional manner with everything explained clearly.

Been trying to raise a formal complaint…

Been trying to raise a formal complaint in regard to a customer rep just responding to my emails by using AI generated responses. Only for my complaint to be forwarded to that same individual to respond to my complaint. Once again ignoring all my raised issues. I loved Octopus for many things but this has really put me off their ‘Outstanding’ customer service.

Straightforward changeover

We had considered changing our energy provider as we have very recently bought an ev, so
it was fortuitous that I met Glenn in the foyer at M&S on 21st August.
He was very pleasant and professional and explained how simple and straightforward the changeover from our current energy provider to Octopus would be……. And it was exactly as he stated.
He told me the procedure and timing to change to the appropriate tarif for ev owners which was useful and we will follow his advice.
I felt confident enough to provide the necessary details for setting up the direct debit despite being in a public place.
Excellent manner and customer service.

Octopus sets the bar high with Jodie .....

I had a query regarding tariffs and charges - I sent this off but did not get a reply (initially), but then "Jodie" picked up the query and sorted the answers immediately.
Good info and customer service (in the end)
I am quite critical of poor service, but Octopus always sets the bar high

A great experience.

I was contacting to say that I had a text telling me that I had over paid an amount of £89. I rang and asked if this was correct, and was told that I was in credit by £249, did I want any of this credited to me. I asked if it was ok to have £200, and was told..."of course".
Thank you very much said I.
