A 10-Star Experience Thanks to Latifa

I had made up my mind to leave Octopus Energy and pursue legal action after raising a complaint about what I believed was a bogus and exceptionally high bill. Initially, I felt that customer service was simply following the rule book rather than considering the real circumstances I had explained.
Fortunately, while gathering evidence to take the matter further, I was fortunate to speak with Latifa, who took the time to genuinely review my situation. Her communication was excellent, and, most importantly, she brought a human face to the investigation rather than simply applying the rules without considering the circumstances.
Although the bill remains higher than I would have expected, I am now happy to work with Octopus Energy and set up a payment plan.
This is what I would describe as a gold-standard, win-win approach where fairness, understanding and common sense are applied alongside company policies.
Ten stars to Latifa and the team for turning around what was becoming a very difficult situation. Latifa’s approach has restored my confidence in Octopus Energy.

Good honest chaps!

I do visit your stall in Cheltenham every so often and although Peter and Alex’s quote again very like what I have with Eon, I like the honesty your company gives - so changing electric account later this month!

I had an issue with my bill

I had an issue with my bill, but thankfully Kwa Ka from Octopus was able to resolve it quickly and efficiently. Kwa Ka was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish—friendly, professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout. The issue was handled smoothly, and the level of customer service was truly exceptional. 10/10 customer service! I’m extremely impressed with the support I received and would have no hesitation recommending Octopus to anyone.

Excellent customer service on the phone

I had a query about the start of my new account and was pleasantly surprised that I was immediate transferred to a customer services operative who was extremely helpful and fully with all my queries, this experience was very refreshing and so a very good start with my journey with Octopus Energy. Well done

Excellent communication and dedication

I moved to a smart meter and the meter didn’t register correctly and I wanted to move to a new tariff, contacted octopus and was assigned to Jonathan who assisted us from the start. It did take a lot of email correspondence to get it all sorted. They had to come out and commission the meter as there was issues where I live.

This was sorted last week and the switch to the new tariff was sorted.

This is mainly down to the persistence of Jonathan chasing this up on our behalf.

Customer service has been excellent.

Thank you again Jonathan for sorting this out.
