    Your meter shouldn't be capable of being set below the actual minimum charge - if it is, then the supplying company should come & reset it as soon after any rise in charges as possible. That may be what they say - that it "is because our charges have gone up". When did they last come out to it, and when have your unit charges been raised (if at all) since then? (Used to work for a leccy co several jobs ago!)

    cant remember when they last came out. To be honest I never gave it a thought till the bill came.

    They can and they are :mad: I work for CAB and see loads of this :mad: The electricity companies are really slow in updating meters, and it makes me :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: As you say, Taplady, you have a prepay meter so that you don't get unexpected bills :mad: CAB may eb able to assist you in arguing this. If not, PM me and I'll send you more details, or post on the Gas and Electricity board.

    Can you see how mad this makes me :confused:

    Hello all !
    Very warm and ''sticky' kind of day. So hot last night I couldn't sleep and woke up with one of those ''heavy' heads.
    Builder arrived all chirpy and whistling, as always...........so now we've another wall plastered and another to be done............not done today as he had to take his wife for hospital appointment. So, maybe next week ?????:confused: Then the front of the house gets painted and hopefully I can slosh somepaint on the walls of the room that once (well still does at the moment) resembled a building site !
    Tried to talk to 'teenager with attitude' about once again not getting up for work. Will he ring his boss ? 'No point' says he and has gone off supposedly job hunting..........methinks he's definitely lost his job by now.
    Younger lad has gone off for a day trip with the local youth club..........older one bit miffed he couldn't go but seems to forget he's out of the ''age range' and has been on these trips many times before when he was younger.
    So, bit of a 'bitty' day when nothing seems to have been done except clear up plaster !!

    Hope you have a good day and hugs ((((((((((:o ))))))) to those who need them


    Ooops !!!! Only gone and posted on the wrong day...................rofl

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
