    Lol no, i didn't mean to startle anyone. My work just takes me through there now and again and they always seem to have lots of meter parts knocking around the office. Just curious really.

    I was under the impression they arranged the fitting of smart meters when you signed up to them (on the smart tariffs) so surely they would know what they fitted?

    I'm only going on what I've read, havent been with them myself (also due to what I've read.. lol)

    Here is the simplest way I can explain how FU work.

    *Fu gets new customer.
    *Fu cant afford a mop license so cant install their own meters.
    *Fu use another mops license for their installers or the mops installers to fit the meter.
    *Fu pass no details back to mop, but keep the info on their systems. Industry databases don't get updated because of this.

    Total mess.

    Also to OP. - Their is one simple way to get the meter removed and exchanged, takes less than 30 seconds infront of the meter. Shame i wont share :rotfl:

    Would it involve the use of a high power magnet?
