Payment worries

I had a query that I had been worrying about re my monthly payments. Sophie dealt with my query in a very efficient and sympathetic way, explaining everything so that I understood without being patronising. She was very professional and knew exactly what I was worried about, she reassured me that everything was fine and if I had any more concerns to just call again. Sophie is a credit to your company

Due to government guideline changes…

Due to government guideline changes this year I don't qualify for the warm home discount this year so I have given octopus a call and Sophie has kindly sent me an electric blanket to help keep costs down and me warm.

Tried signing up to Octopus Energy but was left waiting weeks for replies to emails. Tried going through m&s energy who are a part of Octopus energy and got a reply from the same person i had been dealing with through my emails to Octopus. Obviously has the time to reply to emails yet hasn't bothered to reply to my original emails.

Props to Maddie

Had a great chat with Maddie. she was very cheerful, efficient and knew lots. Didn't even ask me to fill this out, but I hope her managers see this.

Things are very expensive and worrying right nw but it was nice to talk to a real person with a sense of humour, a credit to the company.

Service not as good as it was.!!

I have been a very happy customer of M&S Energy until quite recently. I sent two emails with questions about my account. I eventually did receive a reply however it did not in any way answer any of my questions. I then called and managed to speak to an advisor. I complained that they had lowered my direct debit payment, this after I specifically informed them not to. I then discovered on my online account that my "smart meter" was not sending readings. I questioned if there was a technical fault and was informed yes. Did no one think to contact all effected customers.? Then I was asked to submit a meter reading and was billed immediately. I appreciate that all energy suppliers will be "busy" at this time however there is no excuse for ignoring existing customers. In the past m&s have been very quick with an excellent response time, sadly this has changed. Can anyone at M&S confirm when the off peak & peak tariff timings are. I have a Economy 7 timer installed which powers our hot water boiler. I have checked the timer and it only seems to be on for five hours.? I do hope that customer services get back to their normal high standard, only time will tell.

Dear Mr Currie

My name is Anastasia and I am a Team Manager here at M&S Energy.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. It really helps us to improve our services and I would like to get this resolved for you.

Firstly. I'd like to apologise for the delay in getting back to your email. This is not our usual standard of service and the team are working hard to get through all of our recent inbound communication.

I would also like to apologise that the direct debit could not be changed for this month by the time we reached your email. A direct debit is usually in a pending state for a few working days before it is taken and when it is pending with the bank, we are unable to change this. If you would like, you are able to make a one off payment on your online account or over the phone to make up the additional amount. Your direct debit has been amended for your next payment onwards.

Regarding your smart meter, we seem to have lost connection to this after the 19th September. Please be assured one of my colleagues have been checking this with the metering team and will be back in touch with you when we find out how we can fix this for you. In the meantime, I can see that you have sent us a manual reading and we have billed you up to date.

Your off-peak hours are between 00:00 and 7:30am.

If you would like to discuss this further, please feel welcome to send us an email with the subject 'FAO Anastasia'.

Kindest regards
Anastasia
Team Manager

I had some concerns about my energy…

I had some concerns about my energy account given recent increases in tariff. M&S Energy have been very helpful in these difficult times and were able to address my questions and made it clear how the increase in energy costs would impact me. This clarification I found very helpful.

Great Comms from Octopus

I phoned Octopus to find out how the Government Assistance Scheme would work. I spoke to Isobel who could not have been more helpful. She explained how the allocation would work and was so clear and concise in her explanation that I felt fully cognisant with the whole scheme. I have always appreciated the fact that the staff at Octopus answer your calls so quickly and the fact that you get through to an actual person within a very short time frame. If Isobel answers your call you will be very pleased with her knowledge and manner. Thank you Isobel!
