Inform them by e-mail that you will not be in at that time, nor at any time of their choosing? I thought that you could refuse to have them installed, unless you had agreed as part of some tariff deal? -- Davey. |

I got an email from E.ON saying that a smart meter was a condition of my tariff. I refused and they have not pressed the point but I need an escape route. So thank you, -- Michael Chare |

I'd be very surprised if there was ever a year by year opt in for such payments Once you have claimed them you get them in perpetuity (until they take the pole away that is) tim |
