Pop to the shop today to get my pre-payment electric Key topped up as always I put 50 pounds on it, got home at about eight o'clock put the key into the meter and it said key accepted but did not transfer any money to the meter , so I popped back to the shop and was told I would have to ring my energy company which is British Gas

After waiting on the phone for over an hour I finally got through to them to be told there systems were down and could I ring back in about an hour

So 10 o'clock I phoned them back after yet another hour and a half of waiting, I got through to them again to be told could I go to another shop and put a pound on my key to see if that works,why could there have not told me that in the first place at this time of night all the f**** shop are closed so will have to wait untill sunday now to try this ,,then i will have to phone British gas and wait for another F***** hour ,, all I have on the key is 2 pounds of emergency credit left ,i am p**** off

You have to watch with british gas, there fookers for putting a debt on your meter which will take so much off each week for debt and leave you little for gas.

The twats did it to me with gas, had been with them just over a year then had a new meter fitted, when we looked they had put £4253.30p debt on it and it took me over 8 month to finally get it removed after many,many calls and comlaints.

When i finally found out reason for why they did was they took previous tennants meter reading as they were with different supplier and added it to my bill.

So check just in case to see if your meter has an added debt on mate just in case.

Also they are suppose to be sending out a key reader for electric, dont know if its to everone, so instead of trailing out to the shops to top up your key, you can do it from your own pc by debit/credit card and buy from their site, then sitck key in reader they supplied and then stick it in your meter when credit added. And sometime next year said same will be available for gas

southern electric ? that bunch of cuntz need shooting, they fitted us with a meter last thursday, they put £10 in meter and said card will be here in a day or 2.
about 9pm Saturday night no gas and no card to buy any. southern electric say theres nothing they can do till monday and to borrow a heater or stay with relatives..
monday morning they said, a card hasn't even been ordered for you ? after she ordered one she said that an engineer will turn up within the next 48 hrs to put another £5 in the meter and to MAKE SURE IT LASTS TILL CARD ARRIVES.

It was absolutely freezing, we have 2 kids aged 10 + 9yrs and a little baby girl
8 WEEKS OLD and they didnt give a flying fcuk, tossers.

Had the same with them over electric mate, Key locked out and would not work... took about 4 hours of phone calls and trips to the shops to sort out.... AFTER I told them I would remove their meter should the credit run out... They said thats a criminal offence.. ! my reply was so sue me ! lol

Turned out all that was needed was the key to be reactivated with a code at the terminal ! That Southern electric failed to give me over the previous 3hrs 59 mins ! lol

TWATS

Not as bad as british gas though, those fookers put debt on our meter that was not ours.... and was taking 70% of our credit ! yes 70%... £10 on left us with £3 !!!!
