Thanks, that really is good to know.......
The weeks and weeks it has gone on for EDF to finally get the SMART 2 gas meter exchanged for a new one has been pretty horrendous. The first engineer that they sent out, after weeks of mails, inc videos etc, they then refused to authorise the exchange when he turned up and started the decommissioning process...! He had to leave.
Eventually they sent a second engineer out, from Morison Data Services, and promised to this time authorise the exchange. That one went through.
But to get the new one properly commissioned so that Hugo will work is proving most difficult......
I did notice that some energy suppliers have their own forums, IIRC OVO and E.ON Next.
I am kinda focussing on customer service here, EDF not being great previously either.
I am reluctant to get tied up with the Ombudsmen route, rather than just jump shop to another supplier.
