Pre-payment Gas Meter Problem

  • Hi
    I have recently had the same problem. I am with hydro and was being charged a pound an hour for two heaters. After numerous calls I finally got through to somebody who could help. They sent a message to the meter to calculate how much I was using compared to how much I was being charged and there is a fault. Am not receiving a cheque for the difference and the meter is being replaced.

    So they aren't refunding you the excess then, just changing the meter?

    fedup100pc photocopy the receipts, add up the amount and send a letter by recorded delivery stating that the total amount on the reciepts must be deducted from your debt, or you will take the matter further.
