What's the unit price and standing charge for Octopus though Dan?
Exactly what I was going to put.
The meter doesn't belong to the energy company. Just the number on the meter. If you change suppliers, they don't come and change the meter, they just say.😢..OK, we're now your new suppliers.''
@@evanleebodies29p daily standing charge and 31p kWh and 7.5p between 1130pm-530am.
I used to get free gas and electric for years.......then I moved out my parents house
🤣🤣
Glad you found it funny. What’s the day job a 🤡
Is there a vacancy at your parents for a new lodger? lol😇
😂😂😂
😂
The only way you get free Gas and Electricity, is when your an MP putting it on taxpayer funded expense. The rest of us have to suffer back breaking prices.
Do / can MPs claim gas and electricity on expenses? Please tell me you're kidding 😮
It’s funny that this was the first thing I thought of when the question was posed. The MPs don’t care about these price hikes because it doesn’t affect them, they just claim it back from our tax money anyway…
If its their constituency home then they shouldn't be paying for anything that is required to live and work there. It's basically the equivalent of working and living out of hotel. Most firms will pay for food, accomodation , client entertainment (but not yours), none or a limited amount of alcohol. What you won't get as a non-MP is luxury stuff like duckponds etc@@cakehole53
yep😢
I believe it’s for their second home.
I see that Richard has invited you onto his show, Daniel. It really would be a very interesting discussion! I hope you agree.
From a barrister who is on their side of the law, not ours and has literally just admitted that he is getting kickbacks from an energy supplier? So, no conflict of interests there huh? Plus, no mention of the EMF issues with smart meters and dumb mode only works in the minds of dumb people who think that is true. Im on the fence with the meter issue. But i do believe that this man is extremely biased. Thats my opinion.
On top of that. All of the energy suppliers have monopolized the market, are making record profits yet continuously increasing our bills? Hhhhmmmm!
Wind turbine blades last for 10 years and are non recyclable same applying to solar panels although they last longer, they can not be recycled. The blackbelt barrister has a vested interest in pushing octopus energy and their so called "green" approach, because hes selling his soul via having them as an affiliate.
@@rosehippyguy3402 you cannot avoid emf , its everywhere. the computer you used to type your message , your microwave, mobile phone,etc . Wifi is everywhere so you’ll have to isolate yourself from modern society. This lady was being unrealistic at best, she thinks she’s already paid for her electricity through her tax, how is it metered? how does anyone know what she has used? I think even a young child can pick her argument apart .
@@jean-marcgruninger9019 did i state at any point, that I agreed with her? As for EMF exposure, are you saying that if you don't have a smart meter in your home you're not even marginally reducing the amount of EMF exposure? What an absolute moron!
For the summer holiday we've been away, the only thing plugged in was the fridge. Anything else was off as we were away. We received for that time being away the same bill as we would be into the property and use it daily. I thought that isn't right so I called the energy supplier. The energy supplier answer was that the electricity meter recorded the consumption so we used what is been recorded. Me personally I don't trust smart meters, I believe that the supplier can change the figures through the smart meter and increase the bill. That's what I can say after my experience.
sounds like the 'Post Office' fiasco could happen again... !!
Rather than commenting on issues you are being paid to comment on, why don't you reveal the corruption in the law system that you are a part of. Oh sorry that would be in contravention of your bar oath😂😂😂

Exactly. I have thought this many times
I'd like to see a follow-up 3-way video with BBB, Richard Vobes and that lady. I think it would be very entertaining.
I doubt she would agree to discuss this with BBB.

There's no point in debating these people as they would tell you your a sheeple, paid for by Big Power.
@@mystify7478 I doubt it too but if she really believes that what she is suggesting is legal, coupled with the fact that she has already publicised her thoughts to the world in that video, then it would be interesting to get her reaction to such a request.
I agree and Richard has asked BBB if he would like to come on his show. Hopefully he agrees and Kale can join too. People don’t realize Kale has a background in law too. At least I believe I heard that.
I have an idea. Don't pay for anything. They put you in prison and provide everything you need.
And if you are in prison, you don't pay council tax.
Funny how that works.. people complain about benefits and completely overlook the cost of a prisoner.
We are in a prison with a sea all around it! Playground rules apply.
@@Rbourk252You can get on a boat. So long as boats exist the sea does not a prison make.

If Energy companies were so utterly greedy and didn't inflate prices to suit their own pockets, maybe people would not be tempted to do anything to reduce their energy prices. Just a thought.
What like supermarkets. And Fuel stations 🤦♂️
I totally agree with you.
Blaming Richard Vobes and his guest is like charging a rape victim for assault for trying to fighting off their attacker.
I never know why people behind this I have a number of friends in the freedom movement that I meet with which I’m a part of as well and some of them have got these crazy ideas about things like strawmen
The Suppliers are those companies who were regularly going bust because they could not charge enough to cover the cost of the energy they were supplying
It was the generators that price gouged - many are international companies
You can't break the law because your utilities bills are too high, you can seek to change the law or protest , this is called civilised society.

Yeh but if they did that then they wouldn't get all the money would they? Lol its just greed!
Yep. As soon as there’s lots of money to be made. Somebody has to be making it.
Im not against paying for electricity and gas but im against electrig and gas companies extorting their customer base. Things that are basic human needs should be put at a set price and never be allowed to vary.
Guess what. It's not a perfect world.
Good luck with 'set prices' - just take a look what happened to the American steel industry when some clown decided to ban imports of steel from abroad. More critical thinking required in relation to 'inflation'..
I agree with you, energy companies are ruthlessly exploiting people
Just remember gas is deemed a luxury not a requirement....we all need water to live but we have to pay for that coz someone has to pipe it to you and they have families that need to be fed it's a BIG circle if somebody has to do the work so you can have the lights on then that person will be wanting to be paid for their labour yes the company takes their share we all know but think of those ppl who do the Labouring work they want their bread to feed their families lol
How can they not vary when the wholesale price that the energy companies pay varies? Do you have a clue what you are talking about?
The biggest con is standing charges British Gas used to provide energy without them but was forced to for competition reasons, even Octopus disagree with standing charges.
Ditto with SSE...And as a customer who _before_ the energy crisis was only averaging about 2kWh/day (Now about 0,55kWh/day) the standing charges on their own are accounting for about 90% of my energy bills... 😲
Everything that was discussed in richards video is 100% accurate and true
Think about it folks why would a barrister want us being unplugged, his bread will have a lot less butter.

Agree, I pay more for standing charges than for my usage on both gas and electric.
@@echothehusky It was only yesterday I found out the gas standing charge is about 1/3rd of that for electric, which is an absolute kick-in-the-balls for those of us whose social housing allocation was to Eco-7 heated homes with neither gas (Nor possibility of installation) nor a fireplace. ⚡💸🥶
BTW: Ofgem have just opened a consultation on standing charges seeking views from all sides of the sector incl. customers. It can be found on the official Ofgem site. 🗳👍
@Simon-oj5fz British Gas, which was public, same as the Electricity board, all new gas and Electrical connections are paid for by the construction companies. Then these now private energy companies charge the customers a standing charge.

Why's that ironic?
I couldn't resist 😂It seemed so fitting.
@@Zeyr01 Mozzle tof
You forget to mention that she says about finishing and paying in full the bill with the supplier before changing the meter.
I watched this video yesterday and thought it sounded pretty far-fetched... and her repeated use of the term "lower vibrational energy" (or something like that) was also a masssive red flag. However, I believe that what has happened over the last few years, with the astronomical rise in energy bills, IS criminal. Energy is a necessity, and a situation where energy suppliers and their share holders (including government ministers) are raking in profits, whilst people literally die due to not being able to afford to heat their home, is absolutely disgusting.
"lower vibrational energy" - does she buy that from Ann Summers?
Not to mention the government is trying to ban alternative uses of energy in the name of climate change🥺🤨🧐😬🙄

@@venusssharman5922 where do you think? The electricity suppliers pay the Grid to generate, deliver and maintain the power grids of the uk. And also a part of the US.... thats why we have a standing charge. That's to pay the Grid.

What you have put forward regarding the removal of a meter
Is listed within the terms on a contract but no contract has been offered or signed.
The lady in the video demonstrates perfectly, how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
Cut to the chase she is trying to get people into trouble....
Self entitled, privileged and delusional. I bet she has a kid. No way any electric company going to stop electric of a mother and her kid, so people like this get away with everything. Probably why the electric companies ask if there are dependents in the application. You can guarantee a single person would have their electric turned off likety split.
Am not a human am a vessel
It’s obvious she has no knowledge at all about this subject, no idea about anything else but based on this display I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s on the same level!
She’s been smoking strong weed or is just not living in the real world at all!!
In my opinion she's just another idiot who's spent too much time sitting about 'researching' on tik-tok and Facebook whilst not having enough critical thinking skills to realise that the internet is rife with echo chambers full of similar idiots. I do applaud her efforts but she should not be advising others based on such flawed thinking. It's their blatant inability to objectively appraise anything and objectively analyse their errors that makes her, and her echo chambers, idiots in my eyes. It's them trying to hoodwink others that then makes them really dangerous: they _will_ cause harm to people and do their underlying cause no good at all. Idiots plain and simple!
I fail to understand why we have to pay a daily standing charge for meters.
Not for the meter, it's for the maintenance of the wire etc ..
Energy companies bill you the standing charge for the same reason dogs lick their balls.....
(because they can 😂)
Because if you are using ZERO energy for a week, the company is still obliged to make it available to you, You are paying for that - the infrastructure to bring you the gas/electric costs the same whether you are using it or not. Another way of looking at it - if all charges were averaged into the unit price, why should someone who uses a lot, and is therefore already paying more for their energy, subsidise YOUR guaranteed supply of energy via their bills?
Hides lots of other costs as well. Amount to cover bankruptcy of suppliers. Green tax etc. government seems to use, via OFGEM as the method to cover costs. Initially to cover costs of the supply lines, pipes etc
@@welshgit So,why do different electricity companies charge different standing charges if the infrastructure is the same throughout?
International natural gas futures prices have been trading below pre-price hike levels since January this year. Ask yourself why the retail price hasn't dropped. They are filling their boots whilst others are having to make the difficult choice of whether they eat or heat. The Government and OFGEM look the other way.
Key here is 'futures' - suppliers are buying weeks & months in advance, it's a lag market. Energy used today was bought when wholesale was still higher.
We'll see costs drop as energy bought today at lower wholesale, is reflected over time. Ofgem set a cap & that's affected by the wholesale price in a cycle - so the cap will fall, meaning suppliers CAN'T charge us the same price as now & just pocket the difference!
Hey Daniel. Whats your take on the Pandemic Treaty please?
Absolute b's it is the cheif scientist was invested in Vax 😂😂 talk about conflict of interest 👀👀
When you show the energy spending by the government and you see the enourmous spike at the end and dont think theres anything criminal going on. How about you do a video on the governments criminal activities, and how they manipulate the laws to suit.
Couldn't have put that better myself.
you mean the recent application of laws that the tories voted in....just the tories...everyone else voted no.
Funny how they dont like it applied to their supporters. Funny that.
The law maker writes the law in such a way as to ensure that no matter what the government does, it is legal according to the laws they have written. It is called State's Right to Exclusivity. Theft is not illegal, infringing on the state's claim to the exclusive right to theft is illegal.
This is starting to sound very much like FMOTL bullshite.
It is worth mentioning that certain locations and installations are not suitable for a smart meter installation. This may be because of a remote location with no mobile telecoms signal coverage, no internet availability, no constant power supply, and certain other electrical issues. In those cases companies have no choice other than to install an old fashioned electromechanical meter.
They do have a choice, a smart meter without connectivity. A consumer can, at least at the moment, insist on a dumb meter which will, for electricity supply, be electronic (gas may be different)
Electromechanical electricity meters are no longer being manufactured, certified or re-certified. If it’s removed for whatever reason other than possibly a replacement of a meter backboard or a supply head then it’s scrapped. That’s been the case since 2005 or so. They cannot be fitted as a replacement at any demand level.
Saw this a mile off ,america where trying to get rid of smart meters just as they where pushing the agenda in the uk
Not quite, as the supplier may not have analogue meters to install. That being the case and under those circumstances you mentioned, a smart meter in dumb mode will be provided.
@@steveblog1 Alternatively they may place a customer on 'zero consumption' status which is what happened to me when my PAYG meter failed at the start of lockdown. They'd long since stopped ordering analogue meters and smart meters don't work in my area (they have no idea when the infrastructure will be installed either). I still have the duff meter and pay a daily charge for it but not for any power I consume. I did start using a fan heater instead of the gas central heating so save a bit on my gas now but as it's been such a long standing saga I really have no idea what my electricity bills will be when a new meter finally goes in, I'm not sure I want to know either even though it's just a one bed one person flat from a housing association.
Smart meters can communicate with each other in a relay chain. So if there's no mobile signal to one but it can talk to one that does, then it can get it's data through.

I watched this video, this lady said she has been doing it for years and has set up a company that provides the service of changing the meters and doing the hole process and has a full team of engineers employed, so my question would be if it’s illegal why hasn’t she been arrested charged or had any comeback?
Because it's not unlawful. The guy who made this video has to because he works for the corrupt system, plus he has to plug the link to octopus energy.
@@Breaze my thoughts exactly, Id like to hear him explain why she hasn’t been arrested yet tho, see what he comes out with

@@Breaze Tinfoil on Aisle 21
Kayle has set up a company has she? Yes of course she has… 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ the grift works like this. They charge £250 to swap a meter. The meters cost them £20, so for half an hour’s work if they do both gas and electric they make £460. Cash payments only of course. They book up a load of people in the same area, do them all the same day and hoover up. Then they’re gone - with your money. And no receipts, Building Regs certificates or guarantees for the work. Then, when the 💩 hits the fan, they’re nowhere to be found and the householder has debts, CCJs and bailiffs to deal with. They have no proof that Kayle or her “engineers” did the meter swap so guess who’s left on the hook?
Slight correction from someone in the industry there are 2 main databases Ecoes for electric and Xoserve for gas. They keep records of who is supplying which property, serial numbers, installation and supplier history etc.
So if someone has a prepay smart fitted and wanted to remove it and replace with your own non smart meter could they do so in the future?!

'a strawman' they are out of the Matrix trying to give advice, that's why you will never agree, as you speak Legalese & they speak common sense, common law." I believe" 😅
Interesting BBB that you say once you have a smart meter you can’t go back to a normal meter. What can you point to that supports that claim please?
I thought that too. I understand from people with certain health problems that this is not the case, and that you can (above board, with permission etc etc) get the smart meter changed to a normal meter. I think the energy company charged them a fee to do it, but they did swap it from smart to one of the normal meters for them.
he is an agent of the crown. And a liar.
The point that gets me is, when I bought my house nobody said that that the meter was not included in the buying price or that it belonged to someone else. I was under the impression that everything in the house belonged to me after the sale was completed. I understood not to interferer with it.
So, if the meter belongs to someone else and we don’t know who, (although my meter was changed by the energy company a few years ago so I assume that it belongs to them) why am I paying for the electricity that is going through their meter. This meter is not outside, it is inside my house.
Secondly, why do the energy companies have the right to forcibly, and without me being present, enter my property, when I will be breaking the law if I touch ‘their’ meter?
Tell me how the law is fair?
Next question, why can’t a smart meter be changed? It’s just a meter
Third question, Smart meters emit dangerous radiation waves into the home and provide an energy company with access to control my appliances and steal data (which is a valuable asset to them and provides an income for them). Why are they allowed to enter my property, albeit remotely, and control the appliances inside my home?
You are the lawyer. Please tell me and explain how the law is morally fair to everyone. Also, if I refuse their engineer into my property and I am prosecuted, where is the harm that I have done.
I agree that if I use electric, gas, or water, I must pay for the amount used, (I don’t like the prices, but I must pay for it) and I don’t have a problem with that.
It is the enforcement part that I disagree with. I was brought up to believe that an Englishman’s home is his castle. I can allow access to maintain at a suitable time and I have no problem with that. I cannot accept the morality of an outsider being able to enter my property with force and install equipment that I disagree with in principle.
Laws are now being created, not to protect the populous, but to generate income for the few. This is wrong.
There's are so many inaccuracies in your rant I don't know where to start. The radio used in smart meters is no more dangerous than any other radio device, whether your mobile, WiFi, TV etc.
They also can not control your devices or extract your data. Yes they can turn off all your power but that's it.
Try getting your facts correct before you start a rant.
@@daverichards2979 My MP informs me that there are a number of appliances that are currently available which are "Smart Appliances" and it is the intention to produce more as time goes by. He also quoted from the Energy Bill that the Smart Meters are able to communicate with these appliances and control the energy that is available to them as local demands fluctuate. This is the information given to me in response to a question I asked my MP at the beginning of October.
Also, in a letter from the Director of the EM Radiation Research Trust to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, sent in September of this year, they state that their letter "outlines known health risks to the occupants of properties where these meters have been installed."
However, maybe these people are wrong. If so, I thank you for correcting my misunderstanding.
The supply up to and including the meter belongs to National Grid and your supply company. Anything after the meter is your responsibility. Do you have a mobile phone? That is the only thing being emitted by a smart meter they have a sim card in them and the data is transmitted via the phone signal. They cannot 'cut you off' if you do not pay they will make the meter a pay as you go.
@@lesley1174 I understand that the National Grid owns and maintains the distribution systems. I believe that my supplier paid for the meter and its installation therefore it belongs to them. However, it is the powers they have to access that meter and change it for something I don't agree with, at any time they choose that concerns me. I also understand that if I use electricity, gas, water, bananas, etc., they all need to be paid for.
A letter sent from the Director EM Radiation Research Trust to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero and Ofgem in September explains the risks and dangers of the radiation from these meters (www.radiationresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/LETTER-OF-COMPLAINT-ENERGY-BILL-1.pdf).
This bill asks who is responsible for these meters and if they are covered by liability insurance. The answer was that the government did not know.
I also understand that radiation has a cumulative build-up effect, i.e., the electricity running through your house, the smartphone, the wifi, and the TV. Everything that is 'smart' or carries electricity emits radiation that builds up and has damaging effects for some people. I want as little of it as possible in my house.
Please correct me if you know of anything that I may have a misunderstanding of.
Cheers ED

I like Richard Vobes channel because you get ordinary people on it who are trying to navigate their way through the mess we are in (they are not usually educated lawyers who have an answer for everything even if it's not true sometimes) ... However some guests are better than others ... I did watch the aforementioned episode and whilst I was unsure of the content I am sure that we as taxpayers have dished out loads of money over the decades to develope utilities and aren't getting much of a return for our collective investment .... BTW Smart meters are similar to letting a Jehovah witness come in for a cup of tea ... we don't know how it will end and how to get rid of them if we don't like them ..... best not have one cross the doorstep if you can stop them.
Taxes don't really go to utilities although we are subsidising the building of new nuclear power.

Smart meters are all part of the Agenda 2030 set up by the World Economic Forum (a bunch of unelected, corporate criminals). These meters are intrusive and part of the surveillance network they want everyone part of. A dystopian nightmare is how it will all end if we let them get away with it.

They are charging people £250 per meter to swap them out. The meters are costing them around £20 each, so it’s around £230 for around 15mins work or £460 if they do both. They book up a load in certain areas and the “engineer” then visits in that day. Cash payment only, which is amusing as they bang on about fiat currency being worthless.

any payments from the government to the National Grid is from taxes. All payments from government to anyone was initially generated from taxes. All government money is from taxes or loans which are repaid from taxes. So any payments to The Grid is paid by taxes. However, it may be just a proportion of the cost of generating electricity. But for BB to state taxes are not used is wrong. What proportion of the bill is paid by taxes is the question.

@@ChrisAndCats The main problem with pre-pay meters is that the rate you are charged for each unit of power (whether that is electricity or gas), is MUCH higher than even with a standard meter, as it also has to include the 'standing charge' that pays for the network maintainance - these prepay meters are often fitted where people do not pay their bills regularly, leaving them no choice in paying for power.
@raycardy4843 Yes, I'm aware. However, I was pretty low income when I moved in, so it was a necessity and it was 50p coins then. Then it changed to the strips then a key meter. As we were a small family, and now just me (daughter is an adult), I find I prefer the ability to track it more than a lower price per unit but the possibility with current prices of accidentally running up a bigger bill than expected. So I've left it as is.

You can go back to an ordinary meter. You do not have to have a smart meter.
It's a bit more complicated: once a smart meter is installed, you can't revert to an analogue one. That includes moving into a house that already has a smart meter.
However, a smart meter can be 'dumb' i.e. not transmitting data, but still recording units used. Sometimes, that's because of a fault, connectivity issues etc.

We the people paid for the National Grid to be built, £350 million. Our governments sold it off, and the owners make billions every year.

Hold my beer!
The claim is that it is prepaid, so should be free, not that it is free.
Mr Tesla did 👍
My only gripe is that the amount our governments sell the fossil fuels for to companies to produce the power vs what they charge us vs their record profits year on year while they cry poor. This is where I have a problem. Especially in an example of Australian gas ( where I am from ). Our government sells it overseas for quite a substantial amount less than it does to local power companies which in turn makes it disgustingly expensive to the end consumer. I have no problem paying for power but I do have a problem with business fleecing the consumer

@@Marwolaeth01 I believe so that when the Prime Minister & the powers to be initiate carbon credits and you are over your quota for the week/month/year thay they can turn your meter off remotely
@@celiablomfield2895 You're entitled to believe that if you wish, but I would just say that the likelihood of such a thing happening is around zero. To begin with it would have almost no effect on CO2 emissions so would be of no real benefit (power isn't generated as you switch a kettle on, it is pre-generated), but secondly any PM stupid enough to enact something that meant half the population's freezers defrosted every other month, would not be PM for very long.
Here's the "dirty secret" on why the government want everyone on smart meters. It's not so that you personally can monitor your energy usage better and so reduce your costs by switching off lights when you leave a room. You don't need a smart meter for common sense to tell you that having two televisions on at the same time is wasting you money. The real reason is so the UK as a whole can have a more accurate map of demand at different times of the day and in different areas. This way power stations can more accurately predict how much power they need to be generating at any given time. We have little to no storage capacity in this country, it's not really feasible, so surplus power often goes to waste. At times of over generation, big industries like aluminium production that requires huge amounts of power will be offered this surplus almost free if they ramp up production at these times etc. If they don't over produce, black outs and no one wants that either. Smart meters allow that balancing act to be more accurately predicted since along with the monthly reading for billing purposes, they also can give a half hourly breakdown of consumption and may lead to incentives to use power at different times, a bit like industry get, if the wind turbines are generating more than normal for example. But this way, generating less waste helps UK CO2 emissions a lot more than monitoring your personal consumption and helps reduce the costs to suppliers and thus the customer bills.
Is there any information from your successful experience that could help others in their journey to change back to old meters but the energy supplier is not budging?

That was a bank giro credit slip. It allowed you to pay your electricity or gas bill in a bank or at the Post Office. Essentially it was a standard bank paying in slip prefilled with details for the energy company’s bank account, plus your unique reference for your energy account so they could trace payments. You handed over cash and the bank credited that amount to the energy company’s bank account. Idiots like Kayle think because it had the word “credit” written on it that it was some type of promissory note

You won't debate ANYBODY, say's it all really
This response makes a lot of sense based on the time I spent regarding duel fuel. I am wondering if you can run completely off-grid using wind/solar and request the meters removed therefore not using any electric or gas from the national grid?
Google your supplier and "disconnect". You'll probably find an online form to request, along with their fee
Unless you have built a property on your own land with no mains supply, any supplier to an existing property will insist on a meter being installed, therefore you will still have to pay the standing charge even if you have disconnect from the mains and are off grid. Their reason would be for the supply to be available if you sell the property.
@@K_a_r_l_o_s if you have been removed from having supply from the property I am not sure that they can do that. If you own the property and it isn't getting an outside supply that is. I suspect, however that they will try very hard to push that point. After all if you haven't got anything from the grid then there's nothing to maintain from your property which is what that charge is for.
I know that in Sweden an English man made a test case about this and the high court ruled that any grid connected property must pay a standing charge whether power was used or not, even in empty 'summerhouses', in order to preserve the nation's supply infrastructure. A bit rich as the supplier isn't supplying and makes a profit from the charge, plus it's taxed on top of that profit, in the form of VAT on each invoice. It would be interesting to know the position on new builds without service connection/infrastructure, and the law in general on it in the UK.
@@K_a_r_l_o_s Incorrect. We have gone off grid and whilst there is a meter installed it is disconnected and I pay no standing charges. I have no accounts with an electric energy supplier. I had to write to my supplier (Octopus) to formally request a disconnection. They elected to leave the meter installed, presumably for any future occupier, but removed the fuse and fitted a lockout device. I do not get any charges for supply. I still have a gas supply.
What we forgot to mention in all of this is: They, the suppliers, are making a schitte ton of money from us - the consumer! Disgusting!

You are correct. They are billing company that charged you for the electricity and gas that have been funded by the taxpayers.

Being a champion procrastinator, I forgot about it for a while and did pay extra but as soon as I ring them up I would get a better deal. I have been with AGL too. No problems. Even my constant late payment they are always reasonable.
Thankyou. I want to know who owns the meter? If I change to octopus energy, do they now own the meter? After three meters are paid over and over again. (Can energy companies prove ownership of the meter).
Isnt Octopus energy run by the guy who funds the just stop oil nutters ?
No, I think you might be think of Ecotricity.
@@gmo4250 ah OK 👍
Vobes is becoming extremely commercial - I mean £170 for a mattress cover (lady who he interviewed about Grounding)! Hope Vobes doesn't bring on any people next who will be trying sell us Gold or Bitcoin!!!
He's hit on a great business model. His viewers are the product he is selling as views get advertising share. More views, more money. Hence he's cranking out vids as fast as he can. That their content is mainly just a rehash of any number of prior vids doesn't matter, his products, sorry "viewers" will still watch the same old claptrap repackaged into a new video over and over again. Of course he still needs some new content but he's exhausted all the daft but whimsical topics, moved onto completely ridiculous ideas and now appears to have gone full time into cranking out content which poses a danger to his own viewers territory.
My father was dying of cancer and had used no gas that year. And british gas sent him a estimated gas bill for 6000 £ at the end of the year. I saw the bill.
Wow that is an exorbitant amount.😮
What happens with estimates though is that they go by what you have previously used and charge by that if when you send a reading they will refund you or take away the cost off of your next bill.
@@tayclift5322 it took me two years to get rid of British gas all the time paying standing charge they lied over and over again they finished the contract. Then I suppose they have to rip people off. So their boss can live like a lord. The year my father died none of his appliances worked. And he gave meter readings his hot water was an electric immersion heater. All that year. My father. Had not used any gas. Those shit eon next sent me the same bill three times this month I give them a meter reading and paided the electricity bill. They put in a smart meter and sent me to more bills. If I had been paying direct debit id have paided three times. You think that shit eon next would have registered I paid on the first bill and the system would say paided never trust energy companies .
An issue not covered here is when you genuinely want to get “off the grid”. Uninstalling a meter costs money, and there are no tariffs left in the UK without standing charges. Even if you have no agreement, since there is a deemed supplier relationship, the energy company can claim their fees for essentially providing nothing to you.
The energy companies are obliged to remove the meter for free and cap the supply, when asked. Then the gas network company will then inspect the pipes for rust and replace them if necessary. Don't tell them you want it completely removed, otherwise it will cost you money. You can leave the infrastructure in place in case you sell the house, just have the meters removed and the supply capped, at their expense.
I agree Octopus are a great supplier. Love what they do and good luck to you with all of the cash you will have coming in through your referral.
Having said that what would be the situation if, knowing an increase was imminent, you were to over-report your consumption and pay the subsequent bill, as presented? It surely helps the supplier with THEIR cash flow. Cash flow is important to them I know - as they regularly drain my bank account (holding my money in their system as a +ve balance - in an unwanted attempt to help ME budget). I'd be interested to hear your comments.
Giving a false reading irrespective of if it is higher or lower would be an offence.
Given the cap change is only 5%, for every £1 of over reporting you'd save 5p. So you have to over report by a huge amount to be worth it (It would also be very obvious if you give regular accurate reading before).
If you were that desperate for the 5% saving you wouldn't have the spare cash to do it anyway. Keeping you cash in a 5+% savings account over a year will be comparable and legal.
The only time it would save a decent amount if you were coming off a really good fixed rate, but there won't be many of them (if any) still running now.
If you weren't excessive in your readings, they would probably not worry. If your balance is significantly positive, they might suggest you reducing your payments. They COULD even not take a payment one time, or take a smaller amount proactively. The whole system is predicated on smoothing things out, so they don't mind you having a big positive balance at certain times. With Octopus, I have used both the contact method and their website to reduce my payment in the last year. If you have been with them for a while, their automated system will look at history and give you a suggested figure to increase/decrease. I had to ring them direct once, though, because their system was still looking at our usage from the previous year before we had solar panels installed. The call-handler was reasonable, and took my suggested amount of a decrease without a problem, as I think he was impressed by how detailed my analysis had been, even telling him one or two figures that his system didn't.
Take up the offer for a proper discussion with Richard Vobes, please. You may well be right BBB but a discussion couldn't hurt, could it?
Trying to discuss law using logic and reason with loons never works. Their brains can’t cope
You can have a smart meter removed and go back to a standard meter, my energy provider has told me so themselves. At 5.47 - 5.50 you say the opposite and that isn't correct according to my energy supplier.
They’re wrong. But it’s not to say they haven’t done it!
Smart meters cannot be fitted in my area due to the Raf Fylingdales causing interference. I have wanted one for a while but they can't fit one in this area.
@@BlackBeltBarristerHi, can you direct us to the relevant bit of law/legislation/whatever (spoken like a true layman!) which states that you are not allowed to change back to a normal meter from a smart meter please? I know people have done this - the energy company charged them a fee for the privilege, but it was done. if it's illegal/unlawful/whatever (layman again!) to change from a smart meter back to a normal meter then clearly, the energy company need to have action taken against THEM, surely? Got to be fair all round, and all that jazz.
@@googlecontrolled There is a new communications hub DBCH fylingdales from EDMI in development to deal with this issue.
@@BlackBeltBarrister That's just doublespeak. You are wrong and also misleading people.
Reference to meter readings,I refuse to give them because I don’t get paid to read meters by all means send a man round to read it and I shall pay want I burned.Is that a criminal offence?I always pay my bills but refuse to read meters.can I get into trouble for refusing to read my own meter?
Read your contract. If, as I suspect, your contract says that you are obliged to read the meter periodically and submit the readings then that's what you have to do. And presumably, the electricity is slightly cheaper as a consequence because they don't have to pay for meter readers to regularly do it. Either way, it wouldn't be a criminal offence not to do so, but possibly a breach of contract.
NO YOU CAN'T GET INTO TROUBLE. From Mr RODNEY HARRIS FRASER.
Sponsored by Octopus Energy !! What a surprise.
eh?
Octopus Energy are traders not suppliers.
Unlike virtually everybody else - who's had their private finances raided to the tune of £trillions over the last 28 years - I benefitted from Electricity Industry privatisation. Before it finally went ahead under PM John Major, I took £18,000 in redundancy, moved into further public sector work and eventually retired aged 50, drawing my 32-year pension in 2009. They'd been trying to sack me for whistleblowing, but I won two cases ... without any help from a barrister, blackbelt or otherwise 😂
Everything that was discussed in richards video is 100% accurate and true
Think about it folks why would a barrister want us being unplugged, his bread will have a lot less butter.
Do the research enlighten yourself to the corruption
Exactly a lot of fra£d is going on has gone on still going on, they thie£ing from man and woman making us think there are criminals out there when the real criminals are within, good on you for whistleblowing enuff is snuff, those at the top raiding people pensions and acting like they don't know what happens, how can wages be stagnant for years and years and theirs keep going up
Lucky duck, bet you wish you had 40 years service in!
Dan, it's not true that when a smart meter is fitted that you can't go back, under certain circumstances you can. I had my father's meter exchanged. Not by any dodgy people but by good old British Gas. Following a diagnosis of diabetes he was given a freestyle libre device to record his blood sugar. The user manual states that you have to remain at least 6m away from devices like smart meters. I don't know if they fitted a meter than can be 'switched on' but it is currently not giving off any frequencies.
I watched Richard's video yeaterday and took the view that if you're using electricity you should pay for it. However, I have some reservarions. (1) I frequently get texts to say it's time to read "your" meter but it's not my meter, it's their meter and as I don't work for the company, why should I read their meter to save them the cost of employing meter readers? (2) The retailers of energy are not the suppliers of the product and in general only buy it from tthe generating company once they have acquired a customer (3) Whilst they like to think their terms and conditions are a "done deal" and mandatory on the customer, this surely conflicts with Contract Law where the offeree has the right to accept or reject an offer on substantive terms (4) If for instance, no agreement is reached, then surely a deemed contract would be including the substantive terms that had alredy been rejected and be viod. or voidable. Perhaps the imposition of a smart meter or reading of their meters could be construed as substantive in the eyes of the customer. Another video on these points would be welcome IMHO.
You don’t have to read your meter, but you’ll get an estimated bill.
Not always.. Ovo sent last time Morrisons Data to check my gas meter.. but don't get why they didn't check the electric meter as well, when they already been there..
