Householders face an electric shock
Options
ELECTRICITY users across the Midlands could owe several hundred pounds each because their meters are out of date.

Shocked users are being told they have run up unexpected debts because their meters have not been adapted to reflect recent increases.

It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

Yeah, this is the problem with pre-payment meters and them not being updated with the latest prices, I had warned a few times on here about this problem, and as the number of increases have increased and the amount have got higher, it's no wonder people are now getting a shock when billed for the difference.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc...
