    Surely if the meter was reading incorrectly its their problem. Why should you pay so much when you had no reason to believe the £77 was incorrect, If its at all out it would only be a few pounds unless you live in Buck Palace.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Sorry paper on iphone . It was removed 6 months ago and we been paying £77 a month. We also had the guy come each month to get a reading. We are on estimate but we have the guy from g4s come out and do the reading each month.

    I do not understand .
    Either 1- they have estimated your usage because they haven't read your meter

    Or 2- they are reading your meter ( every month is VERY frequent ?!)
    Which one is it?

    I had to provide them with the reading twice but the meter reader guy comes nearly every month. So I don't know how my bill is £577.

    Ok. Did they change from an old fashioned meter to a modern digital meter?
