Ok, how often does that get deducted becasue the amoutn that comes off varies each day. Sometimes it's just 2 or 3p a day and then it'll be 20 odd p another.

Hi folks, I have a prepayment gas meter with British Gas in my new house and I've noticed the money seems to decrease a lot, so I turned the boiler off so no heating or anything came on and left it for a week (I'm not living in the property yet, I'm doing it up) and I went back in and it used 86p in the week without anything been on. I have noticed that the times when it has completely run out of money and is on £0.00, when I put some more money on it with the card, it seems to take off 20, 30 or 40 odd pence of as "debt". I don't know why because I don't even use the emergency credit. I will try and contact British Gas at the beginning of next week, if I can ever get through and see what they say. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem with a prepayment meter? Are BG charging me someones debt? It should have been all reset as a new account when I set it up.
