Hi,You don;t get charged for smart meter installation.Are you sure he was BG rep, first I've heard of them doing house calls?Who did the appointment message come from?Hope you didn't give him any bank details.

That was the text I got
no option to cancel
never asked for any payment etc … didn’t let him in either !0 -
Hi,Did he have your account details?Had you had any previous email/letter about smart meter?As already said there is no charge for smart meter installation.0

The FAQ page link they give goes nowhere. I would call BG and ask if it is them doing this cold calling. If it is just cancel it. I'm all for smart meters but I wouldn't accept this behaviour.1

Hi,seems a bit dodgy to me.0

I will ring them
I’m sure I did get a letter about a smart meter a few months ago
he was parked outside my house when I got on … he’s on cctv with his car reg as well
he did have paperwork / Id etc but I told him nothing and didn’t let him in0 -
How did he get your mobile number?0

No idea as I never give himGerry1 said:How did he get your mobile number?
any details
he was very pushy .. but I’d just finished a 10 hour shift at work and couldn’t be bothered to be nice to him
Said I wasn’t interested then he told me it will be compulsory in the future and I would be charged
I told him to “ go away “ !!!! In a slighty less nicer way0 -
Contact BG and tell them you did not agree to an installation and did not appreciate being "ambushed" as you arrived home from work.Rosie1001 said:
