Not a surprise I guess, and they still have not filed accounts for 2023...

HMRC going for the double.

Missed opportunity there to show some TLC to their SMETS1 customers and boost their settlement stats.

Adopted SMETS1 meters never used to count for the SMETS2 install targets, did that change?

I suspect the bigger issue was actually paying their meter installer given the winding-up petition earlier this year from Yü-Smart...

Perhaps it wouldn't count. As you say, probably academic... unless they re-trained their sales team!

HMRC used to be classed as preferred creditors (might have been separate Inland Revenue and C&E back then). Nowadays they're not, so will only get crumbs and only if any fixed charge, floating charge, and preferred creditors are all paid first.

After sorting out my Sep 24 -Apr 25 bill ( via e-mail that doesn't appear in the My Watts App) in May and paying the balance of £20.01 (£563.05 bill minus £543.04 already paid) I thought it that was it.
Today I get the same bill for £563.05 but now with no credit applied to be paid via direct debit on the 8th July. I've just cancelled the DD but all in all it's a bit of a farce.

Sounds like a bit of a mess. Things looking more positive for me as they've acknowledged and agreed to pay my compensation.

No double, TE case now withdrawn.
