How have you identified that she has overpaid £3000, ?
Is it showing as a credit on the meter ?0 -
yes when the man came to read both meters it shown up that she was so many pounds on each meter and that the total for both meters was around £3000.0

Does she have any clear evidence of this and have BG accepted this or is it just heresay?0
-
Why did you put so much in? Just don't top up for a while and use some of the credit up?0

The OP says their mother now pay quarterly, so presumably has had the meter changed to a credit meterWhy did you put so much in? Just don't top up for a while and use some of the credit up?
Edit: although the OP says her mother still has card meters
