Life can throw curveballs, and dealing with money troubles is definitely one of the hardest parts. Our team is always here to help. We offer kind and personalised support for anyone going through tough times. We’re here to listen and work with you to find solutions that make managing your debt easier.
We know asking for help can be scary. Hear from some real customers who did.
I was so nervous, but I needn’t have worried at all!
Our customer, Cherry
Like many people across the UK, Cherry found herself falling behind on her energy payments and the stress was making her existing health conditions worse.
Instead of enforcing strict payment deadlines, we work with each customer one-on-one, finding solutions that suit your unique situation.
I now feel confident that however long it takes I will get back on track. Octopus have treated me as a human being rather than just a debtor with an account number. Thank you Dharmesh and Octopus, I will be eternally grateful!

Liam ensured that I am on the best tariff and helped save me money
Natalie’s situation was a tough one, but her experience with Liam helped turn things around. Liam provided some much-needed relief during a stressful time, making sure she was on the best tariff.
He took the time to give me real beneficial advice. In times of crisis you need companies that care, and I can honestly say it is the best customer service I’ve ever had! This has taken a massive weight off my shoulders

One of our customers, Bobby, left a lovely review after speaking to Daryl. His feedback was bursting with positivity, and it’s clear that Daryl not only met but exceeded expectations.
I left the conversation feeling valued, well taken care of and stress free

Victoria’s message to our customers
Having struggled with her finances for a while, Victoria saw herself getting into serious debt and said she “couldn’t face talking to anyone over the phone”. She decided to email us instead and shortly after, got in touch with Vee, one of our specialists. We understand that dealing with debt can be overwhelming, so we were happy to help over email.
“Vee assured me she would help. After a few emails she sorted out a grant and a payment plan by direct debit. If anyone is going through the same experience please don’t ignore it.” – Victoria
Sometimes, your situation can call for financial assistance. That is exactly why we have our OctoAssist Fund and like Victoria, you may be eligible for a grant or other forms of support.
If you find yourself in the same situation as any of these customers, please know that our team at Octopus is here to help. All you have to do is reach out. We’re always here to listen and help you find a solution that works for you.
