I have been diligently getting on the step ladder and reading my meters every month complete with specs, pad, pen and torch. Read meters today, had no trouble submitting the gas, electric said I had to get in touch with supplier (Octopus). It seems that a smart meter was installed here in 2016, 3 years before I moved (I threw out the keypad as didn't know what it was) and didn't want a smart meter anyway. No problems whatsoever until today when I was informed that the smart meter was remotely turned on for the electricity in March this year without informing me so therefore no point in me submitting them anymore though I should take them anyway. When asked, they couldn't send me a keypad as too old a system. I am amazed they are allowed to do this after all this time. Although I don't want a smart meter, apparently I have no choice, really angry that they can do this.
