Faulty Meter
Hello. Since we moved into our house we have had 3 pre-pay electricity meters, we dont know why they just came and changed them. In November 2011 one day I went into my £20 emergency credit. I went to the shop, put £40 on the key and when I put it in it went to £0.00 and hasn't moved since!
I contacted Scottosh & Southern and the guy on the phone told me this was not possible, I said it was reading £0.00 and we left it at that.
I moved out shortly after, completely forgetting about it. My partner has no idea what bills etc he pays and I guess he assumed that he was paying direct debit or whatever. I have recently moved back in to discover it's still the same! The meter man comes and does readings twice yearly or whatever. Has anyone ever had this? Are they going to ask my partner to pay 1.5 years worth of electricity?!
Ay advice appreciated! I'm too scared to call them!

1 year yesDon'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.0
