I did have an immersion heater which was rarely used, maybe once a week if i hadn't taken a shower already at work. Only other thing i made use of was a stereo. I would have used my TV if it hadn't had been for the aerial being snipped outside the building along with poor reception when using an internal aerial! It's daft really when you think of it like that......when i look at what i have in the property i am in.....Washing machine - Tumble Dryer - 2 x PC's - Numerous TV's and gaming consoles - DVD Players - Stereo's - 3 x mobile chargers - 2 x Fridge Freezers - Security Lights - DJ Equipment - even a night light for the young one left on 10 hours.........and yet it costs near on exactly as much as what the last property did!!! Just doesn't add up mate i'm sorry.

Hi Thanks for the advice. The problem i have at the minute is that i am trying to be charged for an amazingly over-inflated amount of consumption from the house i previously rented. The average daily figure stands at 13kWh which is quite absurd to say it was a 1 bed maisonette with no central heating and with only a fridge-freezer appliance. That combined with the fact i was at work 11 hours a day and never there at weekends baffles me into how on earth my consumption is estimated so high?? To put it in comparison i was being charged 4.623kWh while with British Gas, which you can see is considerably less than npower are quoting. And to offer another comparible.......i currently live in a 3 bed semi with my partner and child, central heating, numerous electrical appliances and have a pre-payment meter installed. My current average daily consumption rate stands at 7.74kWh. Again....the figures just don't add up!!! I have reason to believe that with the meter being in another property and the fact that previous tennants had run up amass of debt, i do think the meter hasn't been read for quite some time, therefore resulting in the estimated debt of previous tennants actually being under-estimated. The dispute continues......

Hi I was previously living in a maisonette with a flat underneath. Although my gas meter was on the exterior wall, my electricity meter was in fact in the flat underneath. On numerous occasions access was requested by N-Power, British Gas and even 3rd party meter reading agents, but not once could they gain access to take a reading due to the meter being in the flat underneath. When i approached the landlady, she told me to pass on her number to the people wanting to read the meter so that she could make arrangements for them to access it. Again this never happened. The reason i am posting here is that i am unsure as to whether or not it is legal to have an electric meter for 1 property installed inside a different property? I am currently disputing an over inflated estimated final bill from N-Power as i don't believe the meter has been read by a certified person for quite some time. Can anyone help? Surely the meter for a property must be inside the same property and not elsewhere? Thanks in advance.
