Using someone elses tokens?

taxi97w

A friend is moving from token meter to quarterly billing. She has a couple of electric tokens left, and has asked if I'd like to buy them off her to use in my meter.

Does anyone know if this would affect my account in any way?

Thanks.

Yes it would affect you taxi97w.....you would end up with a debt on your account for the token amount. The best thing for your friend to do would be send them back to her supplier and they can refund her the amount, or allow the credit to remain on her account where it will go towards her first Quarterly bill.

Hi,

When you buy tokens a number (PAN) from the card is sent via the till to the supplier which correspondes to the bill holders account number. So, you could use them to get power but they won't sho on your bill hence you will end up paying twice as the Supplier will at some point spot this difference.

Your friends could literally stick them all in the meter and take the redaing and remaining credit and write it down just to be safe. Any credit balance should be applied against her quarterley bill by the supplier in the next bill.
