I was encouraged by N Power to have a prepayment meter installed after I was made redundant 2 years ago. However I secured employment again 6 months later and I asked to change to normal monthly d/d bills with a credit meter.
They refused. At no time did they tell me I had to pay 45pence a day standing charge for the meter. Last winter they left me without gas for 5 days in -0 temperatures after insisting I needed to top up my meter.
No-one listens in that company! Turned out the meter was faulty and had to be replaced and there was over £40 credit in it!!!
I now have threatened them with Ofgem and will be writing a letter to-day.
PLEASE DO NOT USE N POWER. WE ALL DESERVE MUCH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE !
