File a Complaint Against OVO Energy and Get Compensated

Ovo Energy is the UK's third-largest supplier of gas and electricity. Being in the utility industry, Ovo Energy complaints are common. Although Ovo Energy has a customer service department as well as a dedicated team that handles complaints, it doesn't mean that your complaints are always handled right away. If the company is unable to resolve your issue as soon as you contact them, there is a whole complaints procedure that you can follow. Unfortunately, lengthy processes make for a frustrating way to resolve complaints, especially if you have an urgent issue.

That's why DoNotPay has developed an automated platform that allows you to handle Ovo complaints in a faster and more convenient way. You also no longer have to spend a lot of time and energy dealing with Starbucks complaints, Chipotle complaints, Carshield complaints, or Virgin Media complaints. DoNotPay steps in to do the heavy lifting by expediting your complaints.

Ovo Energy allows you to make a complaint using 4 different ways:

Alternative Ways to File a Complaint Against Ovo Energy

Ovo Energy's top three complaints are customer service, billing, and direct debits and refunds. Unfortunately, all three are issues that can become recurrent, especially if you have little to no time to follow up on complaints, have received an unsatisfactory response, or have been frustrated by the process time and again. If that's the case, you can use other options, including:

• Alternative dispute resolution
• Contacting the energy ombudsman
• The small claims court

How to Use Alternative Dispute Resolutions for Your Ovo Energy Complaints

Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR) schemes provide another way to resolve your complaints without going to court. You can use this route to file a complaint where a company has not been responsive or has not provided a satisfactory resolution. Simply visit UtilitiesADR and start the complaint process. UtilitiesADR deals with non-regulated complaints and there is a list you can use to check if your issue falls within its scope. If you are dealing with a regulated complaint, your next best step is to contact the Energy Ombudsman.

How to Contact the Energy Ombudsman

The UK energy ombudsman provides an alternative avenue to air your complaints. However, you should first contact Ovo Energy's complaints department and formally place your complaint. Here's a quick summary of reasons why you should start a complaint with the ombudsman:

1. Ovo Energy is unwilling to address your complaint
2. You are unsatisfied with the resolution provided
3. Ovo Energy sent you a deadlock letter
4. Your complaint has surpassed the 8-week mark without a resolution
5. Your SSE complaint has surpassed the 6-week mark without a resolution

If any of the above applies to you, go ahead and start your complaint with the ombudsman. You can also use the following contact information above to easily reach the Ombudsman

The Small Claims Court

If you have gone through the Ovo Energy complaints procedure without a resolution, then contacted the ombudsman and you still feel that your issue has not been addressed properly, then you can proceed to the small claims court. The small claims court helps you claim damages (for amounts under £10,000 in England and Wales) from your energy provider if you feel that your rights as a consumer were breached. To get started, register at www.moneyclaim.gov.uk and follow the steps provided.
