Utilta Dumb Meter Fault Letter

nquelch

I have a dumb meter and stockpiled it as recommended by Martin, before the price rise on the 1st April.
Today I received a letter from a Revenue Assurance Analyst at Utility saying my meter had a fault, which is compromising my safety and that I have 14days to respond otherwise they will start legal proceedings.

I believe given the title of the sender, my energy company have realised I stockpiled and are now trying to get a new meter in my property by any means, so that the cost of my energy is increased.

Of course, I do not wish to legal action taken against me, how do I deal with this.
I haven't broken any law.

Welcome to the forum.

By stockpiling, do you mean that you topped up a pre-payment meter, or that you gave inflated readings for a credit meter?

You could always respond, telling them that the meter looks absolutely fine to you.

In the log run, it won't stop them.  They have a legal right to replace old meters that are no longer satisfactory.  But it may slow them down long enough to use up the credit.
