Simple - just arrange never to be at home on the day they threaten to turn up, they will soon get ****ed off and leave you alone. Here, there is a big waiting list which suits me fine as at the moment I am getting free electricity forever.



If the meter has failed then you will be given an estimated bill based
on previous usage, and it would be upheld in court.

Since he's getting a zero bill, and not NO bill, they must know he exists. Their computer will eventually flag up that he's using no electricity and someone will investigate.

No - they will assume that I have PV cells and are glad that they are not paying ME for power.

PV cells have to be on their records to allow for reverse metering.

Two cowboys are talking over a beer, discussing various sex positions.
The first cowboy says his favorite position is "the rodeo".
The other cowboy asks what the position is, and how to do it. The first cowboy says, "You tell your wife to get on the bed on all fours and then do it doggy style. Once things start to get under way and she's really enjoying it, lean forward, grab her by her hair and whisper in her ear, 'Your sister likes this position too.' Then try to hang on for 8 seconds".

Yes, but they may believe that he is only a customer for their gas.

Their computer will eventually flag up that he's using no electricity and
someone will investigate.

He's on the list to get a smartmeter, someone will eventually show
up and find that he isnt going to allow them to replace the meter
and they will then read the current meter and take his new Giulia
when he refuses to pay the electricity bill they will send him.

No they wont, because they will be trying to
replace the current meter with a smartmeter
because that is what you agreed to have done
when you changed to that electricity supply
tariff you changed to to get free electricity
on saturday and sunday.

And when you refuse to allow them to do what
you agreed to allow them to do, they will read the
current meter and demand that you pay for the
electricity you have used and the debt collectors
will take the Giulia when you refuse to pay that.

and are glad that they are not paying ME for power.

Fantasy, you watch. When they show up to change the
meter and you refuse to allow that, and they read the
current meter, they will notice that there are no solar
panels that will come even close to powering your
house entirely.

Yes, but they may believe that he is only a customer for their gas.

Then electricity would not appear on his bill.

He can probably make them bill him over several years, since it was their mistake. Unless he can wind the meter back....
