SSE entered my property with me being there
So I have an outstanding debt with SSE been back and forth trying to set up payment plan. Anyway they wouldn’t accept my offer so said they would go to court to get a warrant to enter my property that was the last letter I received, 2 days ago they entered my property I have not seen proof of the warrant. I have CCTV evidence from
a neighbour of them entering with a lock smith , tryed calling SSE and it’s like smashing my head against a brick wall nobody knows nothing and can’t help me. I’ve said they can come and fit a pre paid meter but every time they come they can’t do it because where my meter is or something. Anyway are SSE aloud to enter my property like this ? They have told me they can’t stop the warrant and they can come back at anytime

Did they fit a pre-payment meter or disconnect the supply when they entered your property?
This are the only reasons that they can get a warrant to enter your property, and if they already kew that they wouldn't be able to fit a pre-payment meter, disconnection seems the only reason that they would have to enter.
They can't come back at any time. The warrant is only valid for 28 days and they can only come back within that time. Call the police if they try to enter after the warrant has expired.
Providing they have a warrant, which they should have left a copy of for you, then they can enter the property in this way.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0
