    This gets even more confusing.

    The final meter reading for the old occupant must be the same as the initial meter reading for the new occupant.

    If you gave them a reading of 33238(your incorrect interpretation of the initial meter reading) and EDF have accepted that reading, they must have over-billed the previous occupant by 11,000kWh - some £1,200!!

    This needs sorting out.

    I know :eek:

    I am going to ring them tomorrow, its actually Npower I am with (I googled how to read a meter and it came up with EDF diagram)

    You would think so. But I get the impression that the billing systems are possibly so cut down that they might lack the basic sanity checks to ensure that the closing reading of one occupier matches the opening reading of the next.

    British Gas certainly does - I had to point out to them that either I was using a heck of a lotta gas, or their meter was running backwards.
