Smart meter issues

The person on the phone was very polite and tried to be as helpful as she could. However, after 4 months I am still waiting for my recently installed smart meter to be functional. Apparently the installation is undertaken by subcontractors who they appear to have no control over

Well there I was sitting at my desk at 5 am in th morning doing my end of month finances and I thought that as I had a credit on my Gas Account I would check what it was. So I logged in and then it asked me for a reading so I had to get up and go outside to read the meter which matched the information on my smart meter. I put it in and back came my current credit which I duly noted. Since nothing had gone wrong all seemed OK - then it was time for some breakfast and at some point I thought I might get yet another survey to do.

Hello James,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, especially during your early morning finance review.

We're glad to hear that everything else seemed to go smoothly with checking your account credit. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continuously look for ways to improve our services.

Best wishes,

I was having a meter move and Scottish powers sub contractor on the day moved the booking time twice then rang at 4pm to say they were not coming which left the property with no power supply and with the only help the advisor we finally got the meter fitted at midnight but still no power very poor service overall would think twice next time

Reply from ScottishPower

Hello Geoff,
We are truly sorry to hear about the incredibly frustrating experience you had with the meter move and the subsequent power issues. It's unacceptable that your booking was changed multiple times and then cancelled, leaving your property without power. We understand how disruptive and stressful this must have been, especially having to wait until midnight for the meter to be fitted and still not having power. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Best wishes,
Jodie
