Do I have to pay for unknown gas use?
Almost 4 months after raising it with them, and 6 months after it stopped working, British Gas have *finally* made an appointment to have my gas smart meter replaced as it stopped working back in mid-October. So, during that time, they have not been receiving any readings and therefore have no idea how much gas I've been using. Apparently, I will get a call a few weeks after they have replaced my meter to inform me how they will 'work out' how much gas usage they're going to charge me for from this winter. My question is, can they actually charge me for something they cannot prove I have used? If, for example, they used my usage from last winter as a benchmark, that's unfair as most people have likely reduced their usage this year because of fuel prices.
