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.
