    Did your early reporting break their 3 month rule ? Quite possible that they feel entitled to ignore any inputs which they consider too early. If the 'robot' rejects a set, it very likely takes some time before anyone gets round to investigating & processing the info.

    That seems pretty straightforward. Due date was 22/08 but they'll accept an earlier report; that doesn't mean they'll pay before the due date and in this instance they seem to be working to that 'rule' by paying on the due date. I'd be really impressed if Scottish Power got anywhere near matching that (but before anyone suggests swapping - it's really not worth the effort just to get cash two weeks earlier).

    I put my reading in on the 14th whether I'm on holiday or not!
    I check the gen meter before I go, and use Wattson anywhere for the days I'm away.:D
    I also do this for the leccy and gas readings;)
