00004

My british gas bill shows 2 entries of 00004 rather than meter readings, what does 00004 mean?

    It could mean someone input the wrong meter reading.
    4 is often used to indicate the night rate on economy 7.  Again, that could be an input issue (reading meant for rate 4 but boxes reversed).

    We could guess a number of things but BG will have the answer.
