Eon have been reading my meter as a 4 digit meter when it's actually a 5 digit meter.

I don't know how this has happened or why they have now discovered it. I've confirmed my meter point reference number and reading and now I'm concerned I'm going to receive a massive bill.
They've read my meter regularly and I've also faithfully provided meter readings and paid my bills in good faith.
If I get a massive bill, will I be obliged to pay it, even though it's their mistake for having inaccurate details and not spotting it sooner?

Why do you think you'll get a large bill? 07999 is the same as 7999. What has your readings been over the last few years that make you think you'll get a large bill?IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.

What difference does it make?
Whether they think the meter reads 5986 or 05986, the cost will be the same."Now to trolling as a concept. ....

What am I missing? 5786 to 5986 or 57862 to 59865 does make a difference. I'm confused, Spiro and Premier, why you should think there is no problem?
But DonnaLeeAdam, are you sure the fifth figure is the same size and/or colour as the left hand four? If not, there is not a problem.0 -

Yer but shes been getting billed as if she had a 4 dial meter.. but she has a 5 dial meter.. Im guessing??? But surely that would mean your due a refund?? Because all your readings would have been multiplied by 2.83, so you would have been paying nearly 3 times too much??Sunny in Southampton.0
