I would like to nominate these wankers for a eco unfriendly cunting. I went with my current supplier five years ago. Lo and behold an email drops from these twats demanding a sum in the teens demanding payment. Fuck off thinks I, it’s a scam. A few days later another one drops telling me that county court judgement is being considered. Right, log on to current supplier asks how long I have been with you? Answers me and asks what is the date on the alleged debt? None says I. Likely a scam says staffer.
Ring Octopus, get some dozy twat go through what my contention is, that no date was sent for the alleged charges, oh our mistake.
Well says I, you send a letter with a bill, I will write a cheque and post it back to you. Oh pay it online, not a chance you fuck with me, I fuck you around too.
Needless to say, no letter from them. I guess I shall be ringing some cunt further up the food chain come Monday. Wankers.

Write them shaky-handed letter and you’ll hear nothing else about it.

What to do with the threats of a County Court Judgement.
“I don’t agree with the charges that you want me to pay and I intend to defend myself in the County Court.
Whether I win or lose the case is irrelevant.
You will incur costs far in excess of amount that you claim that I owe, and as a company those costs cannot be ordered to be recovered”.

PS……
Don’t tell them the reasons why you dispute the charges, the mere fact that you do is good enough for you never to hear from them again.

Its those cuntish adverts with cunts praising those cunts that get me.

Yes indeed why do these people phone them up ? The are the best blah blah blah.
I was with Bulb, went bust, now Octopus.
No smart meter, never phoned them up for a friendly chat….
Fuck off.

Gormless looking turd Greg Jackson (CEO of Octopus Energy) reckons heat pumps are wonderful and that all buildings should be fitted with them.
Nuff fucking said.

But only if the run on Green Energy 😂

That would make them doubly useless.

These are the cunts that always email me to say my balance is zero the day before my direct debit lands with them.
It’s a tactic to try and get extra money out of their “customers”..
They are all cunts.
Good morning.

I had a run in years ago with fucking E.ON, had some jumped up cunt giving me a load of grief, asked for his name.
Email straight to the CEO, explaining the situation, the ‘rudeness’ of the cunt (named) and attached evidence that I was correct.
A few days later, letter from CEO chief lackey, apologising and a cheque for £67 for my inconvenience.
Give the cunts one chance and then straight to the top.
I am with Octopus, no issues yet but the website is shit, fucking purple mess.
I am sure I will get some emails telling my meter is out of date and I need to get a smart meter, probably around November when they are short on the government roll out target 😂

Threats of County Court Judgements hardly ever amount to anything.
Private Companies do not want the bad publicity and if you tell them that you dispute the payment and are prepared to defend yourself, they know that you can do so with no financial cost to yourself.
They also know that as a Company they cannot claim court costs from an individual.
They will not be stupid enough to throw a thousand pounds away to claim back a few hundred.
You can use this tactic whether you think that the claim against you is fair or not.
If a Company is absolutely determined to take you to the County Court then simply pay them a few days before the hearing if you know that the claim is justified.
Other than that, fuck them.

I particularly enjoy it when energy companies tinker with the direct debit amount without prior warning.
Makes budgeting for the family extra exciting.

‘Energy companies in the UK can only “back bill” (charge for energy used more than 12 months ago) in certain circumstances. If the supplier is at fault for not sending accurate bills, they cannot usually back bill for energy used more than 12 months prior. However, if the customer is at fault (e.g., by obstructing meter readings or tampering with the meter)’
They know this and they’ve all been caught out trying it on. Write an email to the ombudsman and cc their complaints dept.

Can’t say I’ve had any problems with them.
I’m currently enjoying 8 hours of electricity that Octopus are paying me to use. I’ve got every rechargeable device I own plugged in, and even though it’s dry and windy, I’m tumbledrying all the washing so I can have an old-timers nap without worrying that it might rain.
Jobs a good ‘un.

I was harassed by Octopus a few years ago. They claimed I had switched suppliers to them. I had done no such thing. Cunts.
Parliament needs to proscribe Octopus as a terrorist organisation. That will shut them up.
5
I sent a complaining email to these wankers, the one where you get the CEO, yeah right with the rider if no contact from you in seven days it’s ombudsman time.
Some dozy bint tells me we paid you too much at settling your account. Oh how come, are you incapable of doing simple arithmetic?
They had settled the account when I ended the contract and then credited my defunct account with the debt three months later.
I have now settled it and told them it will be a cold day in hades before I went with them again. Cunts

P.S. Thanks night admin, may Shiva’s many arms fill your pockets with good things.

Them and OVO are huge cunts.
“Your energy meter is out of date and needs to be replaced.”
My clockwork energy meter rund just fine, ta…as you fully well know.
I genuinely if, one day when I’m at work, they’ll come onto my property (or anyone else’s) and change it without my consent.
The government are surely only a year or two away from mandatory replacement?
I’d better park my Allegro in front of both boxes.
They’ll never break into Austin’s 1978 finest door locks.

Regarding the header pic, who would have anything to do with a company whose image of an ‘octopus’ has three legs?

It’s a specıal nẹeds Tripodtopus, GT.

Ho ho, the word ‘flıd’ is moderated!

It’s like the adverts for pyramid tea bags.
They are tetrahedral.
And Sponge Bob…..
His pants are rectangular.
I fucking hate these geometrical inaccuracies.

I agree Artful. Also volume in swimming pools, lengths in buses, area in football pitches…..
Rowlatt should be gassed today.

What gets in my fillings whenever I think of it, which is usually when the latest electricity bill arrives, is the way that gas powered tumble dryers were removed from the market in the UK a few years ago. I don’t know the explanation but I’d bet the house to a penny piece that it’s fucking politics somewhere. We ran gas powered dryers for years then found that they had disappeared from the market so now we are stuck with an electrically powered dryer which costs literally three times as much to run. All the major domestic appliance manufacturers make gas dryers and they are available across the rest of the world. It’ll be down to our MPs the cunts!
