    We can work out how many kwhrs of gas you ve used in the two years.BG prepay rates are around 4.2p /kwhr.. and we re coming up to the end of the credit on the meter. It looks like you have used getting on for 24500 kwhrs of gas for a flat. That would be not far off national average of 26600 kwhrs for a three bed semi for 2 years. Standing charges of approx £175 would ve been paid from the £1200 also.
    Don t worry OP, BG will be too stupid to find out the problem.Just start crediting the meter..As I say, roll on smart prepayment meters which would ve seen this problem without your couple of attempts phoning the call centres.
