    Hi, I had new smart meters fitted 8 weeks ago. At the time I had about £34 credit on the electricity and about £150 on the gas. The meters were only fixed after 7 weeks on 26th September. The engineer put emergency credit on the gas and could not explain where the £16 credit on the electricity came from. I know that we should owe for electric but should have lots of credit on the gas.
    I know over the 8 weeks I have been a bit of a pain ringing to try to get things fixed, but without chasing you get nowhere.
    I am now convinced that I or my numbers have been black listed as I just can not get through to anyone even the complaints department where I have an active complaint, after hours of trying.
    It is a week now since the meters started to work, I have put £80 on the electricity but am reluctant to put anything on the gas.
    Now my in home display tells me the gas is not on prepayment!
    Can someone please balance my account and prepayment on the gas and then I will go away!
    I have been promised that managers will ring and people will call back, but nothing.
    So please help!

    @Akaroa I doubt they will get back to you. Support doesn't respond, they just blank you. My 'smart' display doesn't show the right info at all, I have no clue what is in my meters until they are about to switch off. I've been waiting months since my first contact with them.

    Thanks @KG1 Yes I guessed that would be the case. An engineer told me that my new SMET 2 meter was not as good as the SMET 1 so he changed back. Also he had a list of serial numbers for in house displays as he worked out that some are not compatible with some meters.
    I see that lots of people are having difficulties with meters or in house displays and Utilita apparently don't know how to resolve the issues so bury their heads!
    I also can see that they waste resources sending engineer after engineer knowing that they can't fix the issues.
    My only solution will be to leave and go elsewhere and they will have to balance my account then!
    Thanks again.
