Electric Meter Timer Incorrect

Hello

The timer on my Electricity meter is 5 hours ahead. Therefore, when I am running stuff during the night to take advantage of my economy 7 tarriff I am actually be charged full whack!
I have asked Scottish Power to come and reset the timer and to refund me some of the huge amounts I have been paying in the last year. They said to call back once the clock has been changed and they will give me a refund.

Anyone else had this problem?
If so, did you get a refund?
Any tips on how to make the refund big/bigger? :)

Thanks.

    I have been heating an outside pool on E7 for the last 12 months....or so I thought! So I want a serious amount of money back from Scottish Power, so I need to sort it.
