Shoddy service from the Business Department of Octopus Energy

I have an issue with that has not been rest in almost 3 weeks! I have been placed on a business tariff when I have provided all the necessary documents including photos to show that neither the business or infact the building is no longer there as it has been demolished! It is simply a building plot waiting to be built on and we simply wanted to keep the meter live until we do this! Octopus Energy Business Dept is unable to understand this and their representative is keen to change me to a business tariff! Even the tariff sent information is void! Therefore, I am unable to make an informed decision .
We will probably have the meter removed until we build due to Octopus’ energy’s inability to resolve a simple glaringly obvious situation.
There is no business ; no building and there no meter usage as it is a building plot!

Always helpful

Whenever I call, the staff always help, no matter what the muddle or confusion is on our part.
Renata, was patient and understood the history causing the confusion and talked through everything to identify the simplest solutions, in a very positive way.
Just wish I could call Octopus to help with non- Octopus problems!

the advisor RADHIKA was the most pleasant and informative person I have ever dealt with in an Energy Supply Company. If this is the standard of OCTOPUS BUSINESS ENERGY I look forward to having an account with them

Octopus are so easy to deal with

Octopus are so easy to deal with. You ring them up and WOW…. they talk to you. If only all companies would learn this difficult customer satisfaction trick. Nobulelo Asanda was great and did what I wanted simply and efficiently.
Well done Octopus

Various issues (Smartmeter & reading inputs)

We've had a smart meter fitted yet I'm still asked, every month, to input the meter reading.
I get emails at random dates asking for meter readings. Why is the email not sent at the same time each month? When I click on the email link, I'm shown three options, two of which lead to the same place!
A simple, monthly job, has become confusing.

Reply from Octopus Energy for Business

Hi Mr Wells,

Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear of the difficulties you are facing with your account at the moment.

I can see you have two business accounts with us, one that is receiving meter reading reminders and the other which is not.

I have looked into both accounts and have been able to identify what has happened with the reminders you are receiving.

I've sent you an email with further details on this, as well as the best next steps forward and will continue to monitor this for you. Please do respond to this email directly so I can assist further!

Kind regards,
Grace
Business Team Leader
