Economy 7 Warning

Just heard an excellent story about a man who had economy 7 connected ed but hadn't been used in 3 years because he got the oil in.
This property is a holiday home. He throws the trip when he leaves.
When he throw the trip back on, a sizeable chunk of his electric money simply disappears.
He eventually figured that if the economy 7 system is connected to your electric it will take money, even if it's never used.
He reckons £30-£50 a year.
NIE don't tell you this. In fact he had to go through the Consumer Council to get a refund.
NIE are scared everybody will start claiming.
Unless NIE come and take the equipment out, you will be paying this hidden charge.
