pre-paid electric meter box BROKEN
Просмотров 56 тыс.5 лет назад
Electric meter box not working. Blank screen, cant top up.
Just happened to me. I will phone them, as they always send letters saying we notice you have not topped up. Screen is like the one in the video after a power cut.
We have same issue
I do like a nice glass of rum fuck the meter off and wire it up
mate can you please tell how can i reset the meter? is same one as this one on your video
I know this is late reply but if you knew roughly how much you have,... and it wasn't that much, you could run it out by using loads of stuff like running hoover tumble dryer everything etc till it's gone, callbtheem out etc etc blah.... Just a thought probably stupid but I spose I've never got much credit on mine so that'd be easy.... Hope you had nice holiday....
I have all the same problems you have, my neighbour change her metre and that’s when I got 2 power cuts then the metre stop showing what our top up credit. Edf said the meters out let’s give u a smart one and I’ve refused so like you it’s a stale mate .
Hello did you get new meter?
I have the same problem. I contacted eon next via WhatsApp. I was told NOT to put money on the key to top it up as it will not work and you will be wasting your money.
Hello did you get a new meter?
Having this problem too SSEN did a power outage fukd my electric meter now a blank green screen. Eon next said cant do anything till credit runs out but the machine doesnt even work. SSEN said not their problem. So no idea but the supply still on.
Hello did you get a new meter?
I accidentally broke the glass my old disc meter, the seals are still in place but the disc is exposed, am I likely to be charged for meter tampering? This is why I am reluctant to report it
Looks like this is the thread for this issue. The have sent the letter for the warrant and they will be coming. Should I just change suppliers, and what figures do you give them? I've left the meter running with blank screen for a few years, but I don't want to be liable for the cost, when it wasn't my fault.
Hello any update about your meter?
My metter went blank screen today and im on prepaid and i can not top up the key the meter is not reading credit. Will my electricity cut of when i run out of credit?
no so yh just leave it we had the same thing happen we had free electricity for about 2 years until another powercut reset it. so enjoy the free electricity
@@nsitv7376do you still have the same meter ?
GOD DAMN 4 YEARS AGO. JEEEEZ. But I was gonna say have you try to reset it. There must be a reset button somewhere there. Even if you have to privately hire a technician to come out and do it. BUT IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS. So TELL US What happened? What was the final result? That Is If You Still Have This Account. ..
2 years later we’re still waiting for the electric to run out
Seriously?
Hello did you get a new meter?
I have the same problem
Hello any update?
I had this and never topped up for 12 months. I kept contacting and recorded dates times. I paid £26 because I said I had tried numerous times to sort it. No leg to stand on. I kept saving my electric money still in an account incase.. close to free. Energywatch is fab.
Still rollin` guys!!
Any updates ? Mine been blank for 2 years and I’ve had letter saying we have used £0 since we moved in
Over two years here. But my supplier decided (no one contacted me) I no longer lived there as I hadn't topped up. Sent me a final bill which I called to contest and we discover my account is closed as I moved out, even though I didn't and told them so. So now I have a blank meter and no account. No idea what this means now. My neighbour has the same blank meter but he has phoned them over and over and gets nowhere "everyone is switching to smart meters soon anyway, just top up your key as usual"
@@midnightslea7424what was the final bill amount ?
@@ImCNR The bill they sent was for just shy of £500, but was for a period over a year previous to the sending of the bill (and an estimate at that... applied to a property with a prepayment system). This is not permitted so I refused the debt collectors. Have heard nothing since. I expect they will eventually knock and insist I make a new account. Fighting seems inevitable as I believe they do this to trap you into repaying debt making it impossible to switch supplier - as they did to me in 2005 after 3 years stress of no bills (the reason I was forced onto prepay) despite emailing and snailmailing them etc.
My meters screen has been blank for 5 weeks. I reported this to Scottish Power the day after our power cut. Still no reply back from them regarding a meter replacement. Should I be topping up my meter key in the meantime or will I play it out a bit longer?
I did that they try put a smart metter m8 what you end up doing ?
I got the same thing just a blank screen I've moved in to a new property I've asked EDF to come out to put in a smart meter. But they can't get in the fuse box on the 2nd floor and want me to to contact Hackney Council and get them to meet up together because they have the key for the fuse box. How can you work for a electric company and not have the right equipment. Fine I'll just keep getting free electricity.
This happened to me on the 08/07/2023 during the thunder storm and my light bulbs turned off . I assumed the bulbs were bad and I was in the process of changing them, but they came back on. At this point, I decided to check my meter, because I have caught my energy company doing something that was criminal by running down to emergency while I was away for the weekend with all electrical appliances unplugged for safety reasons. I discovered the blank meter with a steady amber light.
Hello any update?
Same happend to us, we bought an air fryer and when we switched the air fryer on the switches tripped in the meter box, when we flipped them back on there was no balance showing on the screen and its been like that for 2 years free electric. We havnt phoned up or anything but we are due to move house in 2 weeks so trying to figure out what to do to stay under the radar. Any suggestions?
Had the same thing happen, did anyone say anything about your meter?
@@Legionari3Hello did you get a new meter?
@@JohnnyB6969 Contact Octopus they sent a guy out.. but said there was asbestos on the meter to replace it he'd have to remove it to replace it. But said that cluld lead or it being airborne I've got long COVID so I said I wasn't comfortable with that.. So said they'd be back in touch to send someone with proper equipment but I haven't heard anything in over 2 months 🤔 Are you having the same issue?
@@Legionari3 my neighbour same issue
E On waste of space got the same problem fuck em😂
What happened?
Hello Any updates?
We had a major power cut on Thursday,went to top up today but the screen is blank like this 😵💫 usally it will run out ( monday )
Any updates
This was 3 years ago now, what happened in the end?
I've just moved into a house that has prepay. never used prepay before, put £10 in the key put it in the meter, it showed the straight £10 but hasn't added it. Anyone got any ideas on what to do? 😩😩
I’ve just moved into my first house. When I called for a key I told them the screen didn’t work I just assumed it was because I didn’t have a key. Now I know. I don’t know whether to call back and inform them of this since I already technically have by accident told them.
Is it still blank
What happened with you bro ? I have the same problem?
Hello did you get a New meter?
Do you have an update? What happened did they overcharge you ?
I currently have this problem right now, had over £170 credit on my meter
The same thing just happened to mine
@@asddsa-rq4er mines gone like this , is your supply still on
Hello did you get a New meter?
Lol it's been 4 years and our still is blank but working had someone come over too look at it year ago, we didn't ask anyone to look in to this but he just look at it and ask why this not working me being half asleep was like ehh idk haven't heard from him since nothing was done about it 🤷
Your a true professional!!!
Hello did you get a New meter?
@@JohnnyB6969 yeah eventually they catch on so now I have a smart meter but no charge for the free electric for 4years
@@lunoxyajpw2679 nice at no bill at the end 😉 how they find out about your meter and did they ask you any questions and when meter stopped working?
You are not the one.
I have the same meter but the displayes gone off. Do you know what battery 🔋 it needs? I understand its Lithium En61036 but I can't find anything online
Hey, did you manage to sort it out? Mine just happens now
Not to sure mate I thought it feds of the mains and doesn't have a battery you can replace your self... hmm dint know.
Did you fix it ? Is there battery inside the meter?
Did you fix it?
This has just happened to us! Had the council carrying out electricity checks and they turned the power off and it’s been showing the same thing ever since! I’ve tried to phone British Gas and they said they would send an engineer out and let me know when they’d be coming out but haven’t heard anything since. I don’t want to end up with a huge bill if they don’t fix it right away, especially if the top up payments won’t work! Any suggestions or guidance? Surely it’s not our fault if we have reported it and they’ve failed to send out an engineer/fix it?
You won't end up with a huge bill if it's prepayment meter. It happened to me with the blank screen, it took 2 months before it was fixed and they didn't expect any money from me for the duration that it was not working. If you still have electricity going through your property then don't worry too much lol
Once you have reported this to the ombismon they have 8 weeks to get it sorted out from the complaint date. Do well
Haven't got the exact same issue as yourself, however, have an issue with my PP meter, were the piece of s*** meter seemingly can't distinguish when it's in credit and when it's went into the emergency and subsequently when the meter starts beeping saying I have only a quid on credit left and I go and top up ....it takes that amount( one pound still in credit) OFF the amount I am topping up with instead of adding it ....i.e one pound in credit ...meter starts beeping ... top up 20 quid straight away and it gives me a total of 19 quid credit on meter?...Been given all kinds of rubbish by way of a response from supplier and they simply refuse ( asked several times) to come out and check it .....even told them that I will pay for the non-emergency call out if meter deemed not to be faulty. ........They won't, and they do sweet F all and so far all they have done is given me a couple of very small compensatory Goodwill gesture amounts, which I don't believe comes anywhere near the amount this meter has wrongly taken off me, during this time that this has been going on.... and is still going on. Trying to talk with someone about this and can't get through to anybody waiting time 35 mins? says the automated voice ...sure it is? and their online chat system has no one on the other end either. All in all an utter load of S*** and this is before they raise their prices.....What a total joke these companies truly are.
Wow.... I'm just thinking how many bottles of rum I could buy with those £1 you keep giving away lol.. man that is shit.... have you tried letting it go into emergency used that money up. And then top up again start fresh maybe.. or let the £1 go down to say 10p then top up its might take 10p of your new top up instead of £1 let me know brother....
Had local power cut Friday. Put £50 on key and can't because my meter looks like yours. I won't be reporting this. Not my problem. Electric is on, I have no issues 😂😂
almost 2 years now and i`m still just rollin` with it!
FAIR FUCKING PLAY !!!!!!
Hello did you get a New meter?
No, im still 9n the broken meter. No letters no knock at the door. Its just happened to my parents meter for the second time. There house diff area. My mum will over worry and get hers fixed for the second time. They fixed hers 3 minth ago the first time. Tried to blag her into smart meter. Luckily my grumpy stepdad told them to bugger off, they would stay with payment meter lol.
@@Truthseeker19819 ok bud let us know if something changes I'm interested 😊 take care
i also had this problem after a Thunderstorm , had free electric for about 18mths , during that time the metre reading guy had call to my house 3 times , and seen the metre was faulty and said they would install a smart metre , on 2 different days i waited for them to change the metres over and they failed to turn up , EVENTUALLY they replaced my metre with a old metre , AND HAD I CHEEK to charge me £900 which we challenged and told them it was their fault my arrears built up so much and we werent liable , so we ended up settling for £400..
Wow you had to pay 400, thanks for message !!!
How did they calculate £900 if the meter was blank?
Hi, how does your energy supplier know if you haven't topped up your prepayment meter when its broken? Do they read this from topping up the key/card? Or does the meter itself some how tell them? thanks.
Please someone answer this if they know as I'm in the same position as MJ
Unless its a smart meter then they only know when you actually top up, when the cashier takes your key and inserts it in the machine at the shop. I think thats their only point of contact with the meter (other than physically coming inside your house).
It’s simple mate you take your key to the shop, give him money, he puts it into your key, and then you have the amount you paid in your key, when you put it back into the meter, and run your equipment, so then it’s starts clocking down, they have no info on your meter, the only way they know if you use electric or no is by topping up your key, if you left your home and gone to holiday for about 2/3 months, and you hardly had any money in your meter, they will send you letter saying that you might have faulty meter, and they need to send to you engineer to fix the problem, if you not answering them, then they will start thinking that you by pass your meter.
im getting emails that i havent used my monthly £66 vouchers. I cant top up because the key is maxxed out.
WHAT DID YOU DO?@@chichikov617
Mine did this, it never runs out until it's replaced.
do u know why it does that
Did they charge you at the end?
Have you had any updates ?? I’ve got the same meter with the same issue for about 6 months . I’ve contacted them but no response . Could you let me know soon please
Hello mate. Yes had to be switched over to a smart meter but I wasn't charged for any electricity used when I had the problem. Do well
@@RICEY2011 I still haven’t heard of my eletric company , been a year now hahahahhha
@@ImCNR wow best time to get free Electric fair play !!!!
@@ImCNRhello mate any updates?
just had this happen to me after a powercut they have told me it has gone into credit mode hopefully it has
Hello did you get a New meter?
Not just me thinks Scottish power are absolute thick as shit or just cannot be bothered to sort any problem even small things like changing details
This happened to me six months ago and Ive just carried on topping up the key
Hi Buddy Did the problem disapeared when you top up the key and insert it in the meter ?
@@honzahanes484 nope it's still blank and getting free electric I'm just paying the standing charge now
Hey, how did you manage to sort this out? Mine just happens now. Light up but no displays.
@@infinitynickysame here, think we just get free electric from now on?😂
@@Riceybeats well as far as I'm concerned in all cases of meter bypassing EDF cite "the meter is EDF property" so if they can't be arsed to come out and check it once a year it's there problem
Mines been like this since 2017. They came to inspect it randomly one day and said it was faulty and hasn’t been tampered with. 🙂 They’ve back charged me with a bill of £21,980 which I have to pay back at £20 a month. Only one winner here. Silly hot tub using all that electric. Hehehe
Do you have to pay that £20 a month extra onto your meter? Or is it a separate debt you pay to them via bank etc? If they inspected and it wasn't faulty how did they manage to get away with charging you? How did they even manage to get a meter reading to amount over 21k from a broken meter?
@@michaeljay6468 This is what I'm thinking
What company was this? I hoping I won't get that bill - I may change providers
I have the same problem with the EDF meter precisely the same meter, I call to them, sent an email to customer service, and used chat on my personal EDF page, but no reaction, they told me that nobody would cut me electricity, and must wait, so far free electricity flow!
Wait so you have no display, (Can't see how much £ you got left) but you get free electricity? as in you don't have to pay at *ALL*?
@@eddy9k I don't know how this work, I reported to EDF about a blank display, that I cannot top-up, they promised me that nobody will cut off my power, so I have endless free electricity until engineers visit me, but nobody visited me so far, since my first report two months ago! YES I have free electricity because I have a prepayments reader, not bill via direct debit.
My electric meter (same in video) has gone blank , Have you had any updates on the situation as we are worrying in the House about it
@@ImCNR EDF totally ignored me, nobody visited me despite my info about the problem via emails, LiveChat and phones. I filed a complaint against EDF to Ombudsman Service, in the case, EDF would later accuse me of unauthorised electricity usage or send me bills even though I have prepayments PAY AS YOU GO. I have had electricity without top up almost two months!
@@matthewlathum9312 I read online that the screen may be off but the money is still on in the background , when they knock the screen back on it will show how much is on there .
I've just came across your video as I have the exact same problem. Did you manage to get the same metre installed? Also we have been told to keep topping up the metre. However, I don't really want to do this as I can't see if it's been taken off the key or not. Was you ever charged for any electric you went into credit for?
did you get a resolution ?
Hello, yes I did get it sorted and no I had to swap to a smart meter unfortunately. I also was not charged for any electricity I used when I had this problem. Thanks for message.
Did you get a new meter?
I've just topped up my key at my local shop came back put the key in but not registering my top up but the thing is everything on the screen is working fine but just won't register my 40 pounds top up
Did you keep the receipt and check the money went on the key OK??
i have same problem edf energy spoke to its a fault on meter got to wait 4 appointment to replace meter
We had this problem and for years we had free electric even when we told them, then one day they busy the door down illegally and said they had a warrant which now I now I could have challenged. They were trying to accuse us of tampering with meter but we told them otherwise and they realised that they had made a mistake. They were trying to bill us for the lot so we just switched suppliers and fucked them off. They can't do anything because they know they broke the law.
Fair play !!!!
Have same problem we have still have free electricity . Scared to pay back what we used . Can they see what we used ?
@@endlessworkout2154 not sure if they can see what you have used, they will probley come around for the metre check and see its not working a try and push a smart meter on to you, I didn't have to pay back any money and I had free electricity for nearly a year. So don't worry just report it to your supplier company if haven't Done already and wait for a response. Q Do well...
"burst the door down " my arse. I used to be involved in getting into properties when the occupant would not allow access. We employ a top class trained locksmith who either picks the lock or drills out the lock pins . We then put back a new lock and leave you notice on the front door where to collect the new keys ..simple , so less of the gross exaggeration .
@@endlessworkout2154 yes. the true reading can be recovered on the screen
I know two houses that this happened to , both over a year of free electric and still going... yippee.........
how it ended? Still free electric?
Oh my daZe! This has just happened to me!! I spent the whole day on the phone and on their stupid Web chat! I feel like an idiot because I never registered with the supplier since moving in 5yrs ago but coz I was panicking that I was gona run out, they now have my details when I cud've had free lecky... They said I should contact them when I'm without electricity, which is sooo dumb. Told them I have medication that needs to be refrigerated, how can I w a i t to have nothing running, its dangerous for me!! Sheesh!!
BTW... L○vė Trailer Park Boys 😋

Have you sorted it out yet??
@@LiuHeiYing no, it's still the same, they came up to fit a smart meter and I told them no

They sent a smart meter engineer to me but I've always said no to a smart meter when I've been in touch with them ,yet they still send engineer to fit a smart meter!
