My existing fixed contract was due

My existing fixed contract was due to expire on 7 th October and I was having difficult getting the website to accept my instructions to go onto a new fixed contract that had been emailed to me. Kaylin was brilliant with a prompt response to my query solving my problem right away and making sure I was happy with the outcome. Excellent service !!

Hollie rocks!!!

Hollie was so kind and helpful. I felt I was in very good hands -she knows so much about the resources that I might have access to. I am grateful. I wish everyone I deal with every day was like Hollie. The world would be a better place for sure.

Octopus Energy dont listen or investigate

My review will shock anyone with or about to go with Octopus, borderline criminal. It will be going viral and on the news. These NRG providers need be accountable. 10 years this has continued but finally coming to an end. I stress about others they've done this to, in short greedy, deceitful, lying and covering up mistakes, Octopus Energy ruined my life, family and friends. Dirty deeds an laundry to be held out in public.

Query dealt with promptly

I contacted Octopus because I wasn't receiving emails about saving sessions and an agent called Billy dealt with the problem promptly and politely. He explained why some people were not receiving these emails in time to make use of them and has arranged for me to receive them on a different email address.

I had a good experience with Octopus Energy. Izzy was very helpful and understanding. She reduced my monthly Direct Debit from £115 to £90, which is much more affordable for me. Thank you for your help and excellent customer service.
