    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Is that supposed to be a helpful reply to the OP?

    If so would you please decipher it from the code it seems to be written in so that it can be understood?

    Cheers Muchly.

    You contact the company which supplies your electricity.

    They will then pass the details to the network operator in your area, who will replace it.

    The MPAN no. is clearly marked on the meter and bill, no code involved. YEDL is the regional distributor if so.

    These guys who were the product of NEDL & YEDL merging years ago.

    Don't contact your supplier, they can't send them anything as the work is purely between you and the distributor.

    This type of work isn't very important to them so make sure you explain any hazards which will make them prioritise it.

    The MPAN is on your bill, I have never seen it on a meter because what happens when meters move around?

    Given that Suppliers are supposed to safety check meters at least every two years shouldn't this lack of supplier interest / Meter Plus knowledge be flagged as a concern / complaint?

    I would have thought Meter Plus would be able to do this too (given suppliers authorisation). If they can change a meter surely a board isn't such an issue?

    Meter plus cant change back boards as they are a mam, the board isnt a saftey issue
