ive been in the queue since september but after numerous emails was told in december i was now in the fast track i only got a reply from an email i sent 3/1 to there ceo on 8th jan saying they had ceased trading but as i was away i didnt see the email untill yesterday.As i change months ago who will be issuing the refund is it ovo or eon who i changed to or ee as from what ive read today ee had been told to issue overdue refunds by 18th jan to people that requested them before jan 4th and within 28 days for people who requested after that date. confused!Consumerist wrote: »Although, according to the MSE report that Ovo would take over EE's customers:
I think Ovo may come to regret that undertaking.
Aye you are right, I managed to miss that one, it is on the Ofgem press release, that I can't link because new account.
Considering they now have an extra 200k customers though, even with mediocre retention I should imagine (depending on how they have priced and hedged) that they will have made that back and then some fairly quickly!0 -

The two-thirds of current Economy's current customers (156,000) on pre-payment should come to OVO without baggage.
The one-third of Economy's current customers (78,000) may come to OVO with the cost of credit, i.e. fuel paid for but not delivered.
But we learn that 100,000 Economy customers left Economy last year. The ex-credit customers may be owed a lot of money.
Presumably, OVO did its due-diligence.I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0 -

Yes and a lot of customers who left last year left with credit balance in the £100s and have lost any interest they could have been getting on it.0 -

we left EE mid Oct with a fairly large credit (almost £499) and was surprised to see we've had our credit come through on Friday!0

huge relief TBH.
Sorry, not sure who paid it as DH checked account today and it had been paid in Fri (he last checked Thurs) he didn't say who paid it, but presuming EE tho' or he would have queried OVO paying us??0 -
Deely did ee cancel your dd when you started your switch they did with my dd.0
-
they didn't cancel it and actually took 2 more payments after we'd left, even though we were already well in credit - one of the many things we made a complaint about
as soon as my switch started i got an email from them saying they had canceled my dd so im woundering if they have passed my bank details to ovo.I did read somewhere that said credit refunds for those that aplied b4 the 4th january had to be paid by the 18th.My switch started early october0
