Get through to E.ON Next without the hold queue
E.ON Next runs its phone line in office hours and everything else until ten at night, seven days a week, so the question is which route suits the problem. A quick billing query goes by WhatsApp. A dispute about a meter or a bill you can't get moving is the phone call.

Things people ask it to sort with E.ON Next
Chase a credit refund
“My account is over £300 in credit. Get the credit refunded and find out when it will be paid.”
Query a bill after moving in
“I moved in two months ago and have received a bill that seems to include the previous occupier's usage. Get the account started from my move-in date and the bill corrected.”

Have these ready
Whether you ring or the assistant does, E.ON Next will want some of these before they will talk about your account.
- E.ON Next account number
- Supply address and postcode
- Latest meter readings, for billing queries
Save them once in Settings and every call starts with them filled in. The assistant only gives a detail when it is asked for it, and it is hard-coded to refuse payments and contract changes.
