What - You just ignored a very serious electrical fault, and only got it fixed after it had been broken long enough for it to appear on the power bills?

Happen read the total thread but power company can tell which meter it is coming off. They sais shed and we found it was the water pump feed from the shed.

As always (as in message #5) people are advised to turn everything off and check if the meter is going round.

And with the OP's problem, there should have been an actual reading by now for February, so we could see if there really was a problem.
Oh it won't be read until March. What kind of stupid power company doesn't read the meter for four months?

Update.

No electric leakage.

I read the meter myself and contacted my power Co;

My numbers were so 'off the scale' for them that they thought they were wrong; so they asked me for pictures of the readings. I've done that, and my readings were correct.

So my current power bill is now zero and I still have a credit worth about another couple of months of power.

I haven't been given a reason for the error, but I think that even the meter's *readings* throughout the years were estimates rather than actual readings.

Someone is due shortly to install an aerial to our (smart!?) meter.
Cheers for all comments and help.
