Hi to all,

On Tuesday Evening I Phoned E Up we went to Top Up Gas and it Said Disconnected.

I am Supposed to Get a New Message When their is £2.00 Left on the Meter We got No Message so didn't Realize we had Run out as was Really Busy.

E asked Me to Go Outside and Reset the Meter I said I carnt do it too low on the floor or my husband carnt do it he has copd we both have arthritis and lots of health problems.

They said ask a neighbour to do it I said no you've turned it off you do it .

They said if they came out would cost me £250 pounds.i don't think so.

How Can they be so inconsiderate its appalling ive emailed customer services
It's not good enough.

What can I do?

It's appalling customer service, lack of it.

Sparkle, lodge a Formal Complaint in writing, send it to their H/O. They have 8 weeks to respond. Once you get their final response / deadlock letter, if you still aren't happy, lodge a complaint with the Services Ombudsman.

Morning @Sparklebright63 hope you've managed to get someone to reset your meter - it's a good point, made me think how people can do these things in different circumstances, so would be worth drawing this to attention of your supplier x
