Pre Payment meter at fault?

I do believe you can challenge your supplier, and ask them to prove their meter is functioning as it should. If you have doubts about your bill and how much fuel you are using, you should ask for this to be verified.

A simple pc will use if on 24h per day 2.5KWh

Desktop, gaming setup easy 3 times that on its own. (7.5KWh)

Here are my topups with Scottish Power i gave them my readings on Friday they didnt bill me for 2 years

I looked at one of my bills in 2015 this was a actual reading bill which left me with £450 in credit i forgot about it since

And now I'm trying again to sort this out at my credit is going so fast on the meter

Gas is £600 for the year water is heated via gas I cant think of anything mayor Thats costing so much

The fact they didn't bill you for 2 years isn't just their fault - you could have contacted them.

I don't understand why you are giving them money when you appear to be in credit?

This doesn't add up

its normal when you topup when they bill me they will take the credit away The use to send me bills but didnt for a few years

Strange they bill me fine every month on the gas

Agree, if a PC is being left on 24/7 in my mind it isn't a basic model. You're not mining with it or server hosting?

Add on the other equipment round the house, TV, lights, chargers all the small parasitic loads. Your readings make sense to me.

pc not a problem its 120 so 2.5 about right

I downloaded the scottish power App and the bill for 2018 it says £366
And the topup payments doesn't match the

monthly breakdowns

Here is up to date 2019 kwh usage

as you can see the topups dont match up with how much it costs

They have gave me a bill for £ 885.47 which was for the 2 years leaving £ 565.63 in Credit I asked them to go all the way back to 2008 when i moved in here


As i cant go back to 2008 and only 2016 i have had the same sort of setup only difference is was a tv I can not see how much i have topped up

i will post grapths you can see the spike in rise of kwh First is 2016 which i bet i made more than £20 top up a month so it will be interesting to see
Scottish power said i will soon be able to check my top ups for that year

Does this make sense even on some of the letters sp saying 6600 khw for the year

I have even looked at some of my old estimated bill even one year in 2015 it says estimated bill for the year 13k khw lol

I believe i might be connected to another flat and I'm paying for that too??

I did a 24/7 check on the meter did about 6 kwh in 24 hours

I use this to monitor usage at home and have found it excellent.

you could compare readings over time with your electricity meter, they should be quite close but will never be exact matches for technical reasons.

shows current usage figure on an app on your phone, so you can see the effect of turning things on and off.

Does the meter number on your bill tally with your meter?
