Still no FIT payment from OVO. Have tried raising a complaint but they are ignoring that too. Sigh.0

Ditto - for the period Mar, Apr, May. I had an email 16th Aug saying I'd receive payment within 4 weeks. It does seem that they've engineered in as much delay as they can to processing and making payment.NigelIR said:Still no FIT payment from OVO.

I had an email then too. I spoke with them on the phone yesterday and they are now saying “we have paid you on the 1st September, but it will take 3 working days to appear in your account” - Unbelievable!Chris_Type_R said:

I'm glad it's not me dealing with OVO's delays. FIT reading given at the beginning of June, the response back at the time:
"At the end of this read month, we’ll pass all readings to Ofgem. It then takes around 8 weeks to process FiT payments. So you should get your payment and statement no later than the first week of September. "
They're cutting it fine!
In the meantime, I've already submitted the next reading.4 Kwp System, South Facing, 35 Degree Pitch, 16 x 250W Solarworld Panels, SMA Sunnyboy 3600 Inverter, Installed 02/09/14 in Sunny South Bedford - £5600

I suppose the upside is we're getting paid for summer generation at the point we have to pay for winter usage.Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp).

Just had an email from OVO saying they paid me on the 30th August, but allow 3-5 working days from this date for the payment to reach me.
3 days would have been yesterday, it’s not here today, so I should see the payment tomorrow being it is day 5. Fingers crossed but I have little trust…0 -
Hooray!
Break out the bunting, we are having a street party!
I have finally been paid by OVO, late and with no apology, but I finally have the money.2 -
