  • Switched from BG to Scot Power in Sept. Both companies are charging me now as each uses a different meter number. BG refusing to cancel old a/c as not received termination of 'their' meter. Any thoughts? Is this legal?
    Do you have a dodgy address? Usually the main reason for these situations!
  • Check address with royal mail and council tax also.
  • Thanks...here's another twist.
    BG say I'm listed on a national database with them. Scottish Power say exactly the same. It seems to boil down to each quotes a different meter number to that actually printed on the meter!

    @timetokill So what is the number on the meter 
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • Neither supplier has the serial number on your meter?
