Re: General health matters.

Thanks Dave
Had a kidney stone that was too big to break up, so they had to cut me open to get it out. X-ray beforehand showed another stone blocking my other kidney, so they had to get that out first. Must have been under for about 6 hours, but everyone was brilliant

Re: General health matters.

Feeling much better today and definitely on the mend. Yesterday I felt like I had been hit by a bus, today I feel like I have been hit by Mike Tyson, so that’s an improvement

Re: what are you doing ?

Got final bill number 7 from Octopus and it looks ok, but to be honest I’m so tired of the whole thing I have given up. £900 difference between the highest and the lowest final bill, so not trivial. Expecting money back in ten days I have no idea how the average person on the street would figure thi...

Re: what are you doing ?

Octopus have now conveniently lost all photos and videos I sent to prove that they had configured my smart meter incorrectly. Fortunately I haven’t

Re: what are you doing ?

Thanks Phil, I'm a frequent flyer! They still don't answer with anything useful though Called them just now and they have cancelled the direct debit due in a few days so that's something They owe me just over £400, but they want to charge me over £400 and I figured out why - they have swapped the da...

Re: what are you doing ?

That’s true and I accepted that at first, but when you make the same mistake over and over again, there’s a problem

Re: what are you doing ?

Out of interest on back-billing:
They can back bill for one year, but if you were in credit a year ago they can use that credit to clear mistakes further back. If you weren’t in credit, there’s nothing they can do. The ombudsman knows about this and lets them do it

Re: what are you doing ?

Not had any problems at all since I joined them when they and the Coop service merged together. I think this is the key. When you have problems, they are hopeless, they just stop responding to emails and you are left stranded I joined by choice, not migrated They configured my meter incorrectly so ...

Re: what are you doing ?

Trying to figure out why I have four final bills from Octopus. Nightmare of a company, don’t seem to have a clue what they are doing. Left them in September and they have now decided that every bill they ever sent was wrong and have re-billed the lot - some of these were re-bills for other mistakes....
