I've taken out boiler cover for a property I own. The engineer didn't turn up for the initial inspection appointment and supposedly couldn't get an answer when he called for the second appointment despite the fact I know that my tenant rarely leaves the house. I'm really angry at the moment, gutted I went with them.
I am severely disabled and I returned home in 2009, when my house had been repaired. SWALEC had installed one of their electricity meters. As time went by, I thought I was using too much electric, so I turned the heat down in my house, bathed less and even went over to paraffin cookers. Then I discovered that their meter was running as fast as a speeding train – even when everything in the house had been switched off! I complained about the meter and was told that they would be charging me if someone came to check the meter. Later, I contacted the meter inspector. He was shocked that SSE SWALEC had said this... because their meter was overcharging by 5 times the amount it should have. Then SSE/SWALEC gave me some money for the faulty meter. Later, they took the same money out of my account – without my permission. Now they have billed me again, and have based the bill on... wait for it... the faulty meter!
