Review of Octopus Energy


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

GBIS scheme - OCTOPUS ENERGY

I contacted Octopus re. GBIS as I had not heard from them in 2 weeks. After a lengthy conversation and being put on hold several times, I was told that it can take up to 12 WEEKS for a callback!! Then after a few more questions and being put on hold several times again, I was told an email was sent today (17.09.2025) at 11am. I unfortunately had not received this particular email but only one about letting me know of the 1 hours free electricty.
Then being put on hold once again, I am told that I had opened this email at 1:54pm. How??
So I politely requested they send it again and again, after being placed on hold several times yet again, I am told that department will send another email by EOP today. When I asked to speak to 'that' department, I was told they do not take calls and only internal messages/requests.
SO dissapointing. The government is clearly telling us we should be entitled as my loft is not insulated to current standards (less than 5cm of insulation). My EPC is not great, so why the delay??
Feel this is just another scam for those of us who actually go out to earn a wage.

Hi Rajan,

My name is Grant and I'm part of the Octopus Energy Leadership Team. Thank you so much for your feedback. We would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused with your GBIS application and the recent call you had with us.

We apologise that you were placed on hold multiple times when you contacted us.
Please know that we have a dedicated team outside of our customer service department that deals with the GBIS applications. We apologise that our customer service team could not provide you with the relevant information you needed. Our customer service teams do their best to help where they can as we do not deal with these applications directly.

I also wanted to provide you with an update regarding the current wait times. The wait time between confirming eligibility and installer allocation is approximately 12 weeks. We begin contacting customers before their 12-week timeframe expires to either allocate them to an installer or inform them that they are still in the queue, along with an updated timeframes. These include eligibility checks that need to be conducted before we can provide further updates.

Once you are allocated to an installer, you will receive a confirmation email. Previously, these emails indicated that the installer would be in touch within 10 working days. However, we are now amending this timeframe to advise that the installer will be in touch within 1 month. Please note that one of our trusted installers will perform the survey and installations.

I have reached out to you via email and would be more than happy to assist with anything else you may need.

Kind Regards,
Grant.M
Team Manager

Review of Zable

ZABLE - terrible customer service - do not go with them

I saw several transactions all of within minutes of each other which I had not performed. Clearly Fraudulent!! Have tried to contact Zable on many occasions on their given number 020 3322 9128, but only get an automated answer regardless of which option is chosen. Then the call is terminated. This is a serious issue and I want to speak to a human being on the other end to assure me that those transactions would be re-imbursed. Very upsetting and causing anxiety as, if this their customer service, then I do not want to use Zable. even to cancel the card is unresponsive. Have written to the Financial Ombudsman, but they only step in after several weeks and only when the customer feels they have no resolution. Well clearly this is no resolution from day 1 as I cannot get in touch with anybody and in the meantime, I am still being charged for those transactions. How is this fair?
Please, if others are experiencing similar with Zable, then please speak out. I have never dealt with such a company before. Very forthcoming when issuing cards and loans, but not when needed the most.

Great experience…thanks Mithu

Had a very pleasant experience at the Ruislip store. Mithu was our sales consultant and was very attentive, polite and professional. He took the time to understand our needs and talk us through the different options without any pressure.

Returned the following day with our daughter and again, we were pleasantly greeted by Mithu who also offered us a beverage upon arrival. He explained to our daughter what we had discussed, was patient as we looked around to ensure we were happy with our choices before processing our order and happily answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!

The driver is always polite

The driver is always polite. Also the tracker allows to know what time the collection will take place. Updated constantly.
Like the fact that the donations raise money for children.

Safe style - after care service terrible!!!!

Since giving a nice/brilliant review I have nothing but BAD experience from SafeStyle.
Install was great and product is great. However....
Cannot contact accounts department directly (trying for 3 weeks now), only now today 12.01.2023) to be told that most of them work from home.
Excuses after excuses. All I am after is a breakdown of my invoice (which incidently took 2 weeks after several requests).
Cannot get hold of anyone nor will they give names of any managers to whom I could escalate the matter to.
After care customer service is 'Shoddy' that is putting it politely.

Excellent service

Never have I had any problems using Xendpay. Also their rates are very competetive, and the process to transfer is very simple/easy. Support is also very good.
