Energy Dispute Resolution Steps
Summary
In the UK, deemed contracts are valid if you use energy without a formal agreement, governed by the Electricity Act 1989 and Gas Act 1986. Suppliers must provide clear terms, as outlined in Ofgems Standard Licence Condition 7. For data protection, the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 require a lawful basis for processing personal data, even in deemed contracts. You can escalate disputes to the Energy Ombudsman and file complaints with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) for data issues. Consider these steps if Octopus Energy fails to provide contract evidence or unlawfully shares your data.Full Conversation
