Given that many meter changes do not take place on the intended day then, logically, it would be 10 days from the date on which the actual meter change takes place. I confess that I am not sure how long a supplier has to exchange a meter on request from a consumer. Having said the above, this thread is sadly littered with posts from people complaining about the time that it takes suppliers to update the database. The only recourse then is a complaint.

I'd reccomend calling SSE a couple of days after the meter is changed to make sure they have actually updated the info.

Thanks both of you. That is useful information and in light of that I've advised my friend to wait a bit longer before switching, and to phone SSE as suggested.

Thanks again.
