    My comment was because amusedbystander said
    every time an engineer completes a meter reading or any thing like that they send a message back to therelevent supplier with readings and things like thst so bg will have a exact read from the meter change
    but it does not always happen, it should by often does not. It is all down to what I call "corporate incompetence" in the energy industry.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    What are the first two numbers on the meter serial number (this is the long combination of numbers and letters on your meter)

    eg: K95ES64805

    The first two numbers are 95. This represents the year that the meter was made - in this case 1995.

    Are the first two numbers on your meter serial number 10?

    If not, I would suggest that the new meter was in fact a secondhand one and so the reading would not have been 00000 when it was fitted!
