Oh, ok.
I was confused as you started, and continued on for most of this thread regarding an allegation you had tampered with the meter.
Is that now all sorted?
Because I would suggest to you that is far more serious than allegedly owing someone a few bob.
If it's is just the money the supplier claims you owe you wish to contest, then you need to let them know by raising a complaint and following the supplier's complaint procedure.
If you fail to do that, but simply do what they will see as a runner without repaying them, then they probably would resort to the small claims court in an attempt to secure what they believe is rightly theirs.
Obviously a CCJ against you would have a significant adverse impact in obtaining a mortgage, so best not to let matters escalate to that stage.
But as I understand it, the money the supplier claims you owe is due to a tampering of the meter. :huh:
If not, what other money do they claim you owe them
I have been accused of tampering - and the money they want back is aparrent money i owe them for unpaid usage.
I have been querying this from the very beginning, and i still am.
Brief Summary:
Moved in Dec 2015
Switched Electric Supplier to my name on Feb 2016
Between Dec 2015 - Jan 2016 there was apparent Meter Tamper -
(their report states 5 seperate times adding up to roughly 5 days)
From Feb 2016 (Supplier 1) - I as normal topped up my meter 30 times that year to a total of £300
(they say iv unused units of 2015 costing £520)
Jan 2017 Switched to new supplier (supplier2)
From Jan 2017 (Supplier 2) - I as normal topped up my meter 44 times to present day to a total of £380
(they say iv unused units of 1969 costing £360)
Nov 2017 - they decide to replace my meter - so i let them as there replacing all meters - i thought it was normal
January 2018 i get accused of meter tampering. and this is where im at. still trying to sort it.
As well as worrying about that, i was asking about my credit file, as i want to save for a mortgage and dont want things going against me.
And no - i dont have a cannibals farm as mentioned in earlier posts - nor do i smoke it sell it or whatever else you do with it, i literally had a fridge, cooker, tv and kettle when i moved in. then broadband in January, and in 2017 got a freezer and a microwave.0 -
For those interested
I contacted the companies via email, with all my facts and they have finally admittted they were in the wrong, and they shouldnt of send out those letters.
Im not getting a refund of the money the automatically took from me, and im out of the property.
