You don’t try and fiddle an insurer, they’re a lot better at extracting money out of people.

Personally, I think from now on, any shenannigans involving any animal, should be told with photographic proof!

Got to no.4 in the queue and got cut off! Could have cried.
Good luck @tek-monkey
Alexa tells me almost daily that Stafford has a flood warning in place, regardless of it raining!Never seen so much rain as lately.
This intrigues me, if the meter can't send correct readings but the readings you take are correct this implies the meter sends different figures to what it displays, which is something I doubt most strongly. What I suspect is the real case is the readings are not sent at all, not hat they are wrong. This can easily be checked by installing an app like bright or loop, or if with octopus this website may help (although I never see gas data yet mine works!):I notice looking on my British Gas dual fuel account online and noticed that I am £647 in credit but there is no where i can see to transfer £500 of it back to my bank account. had an online text chat outlining my issue. I was told they needed metre readings. i suggested they used the smart meter they installed and was told it doesn't give correct readings any more !!! " you need to give the readings, I explained i am 78 and the meters are outside and its very cold, deaf ears, so got wrapped up and went outside, gave them the gas and electric reading and was
Doesn't that just prove what a mistake it was to have a so called Smart Meter installed ?I notice looking on my British Gas dual fuel account online and noticed that I am £647 in credit but there is no where i can see to transfer £500 of it back to my bank account. had an online text chat outlining my issue.

1. If I was a betting person, and if my experience with British Gas is anything to go by, I'd bet that the fault lies with British Gas and not the meters.I notice looking on my British Gas dual fuel account online and noticed that I am £647 in credit but there is no where i can see to transfer £500 of it back to my bank account. had an online text chat outlining my issue.

1. I don't think so.1. If I was a betting person, and if my experience with British Gas is anything to go by, I'd bet that the fault lies with British Gas and not the meters.
2. If you are finding reading the meters manually an issue, ask them to put you on the Priority Services Register and ask them to read your meters for you. https://www.britishgas.co.uk/priority-service-register
3. Consider moving to a supplier with better customer services, that's just about anyone else except Scottish Power. That would also help you get any credit back, as that would automatically be refunded after you've switched and received your final bill from British Gas.
