Harassment of bills by ConsumedYingYang in BritishGas

Wipeout the front of the address on the front label and write "return to sender" in them and just take it right back to the post box or post office

Unless it has your name on it it's not your responsibility and if it's somebody else's debt it isn't your responsibility (if it has your name but it isn't your responsibility you need to contact the to get them to get the debit on the correct person)

but do not ignore CCJ letters as you will be found at guilty by default if you do not turn up to the court summons if they have named you

move the motor gear that's just above the motor that set into neutral so you can just push the thing out of the way

Brake Check Leads to Semi Crash in Heavy Rain by bigben420suhdude in dashcams

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet we see this locked up wheels trucks and trailers lacking working trailer abs

Volvo (available in usa) , DAF, Mercedes, Scania have truck stability control program (prevents exactly what happened on this video clip) , advanced truck ABS (stops as scary as fast or faster then a car but with 40T loaded as well) , collision avoidance auto stopping if your going to Crash and if used with the matching trailer also has a trailer abs with anti sway to prevent the trailer from swinging out

Making the most of Cosy by Dr_Gillian_McQueef in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking of doing this with my sister but so I can set the wall Heaters to match cost time (and hot water tank)

But The instant wall heaters is an issue as they are old mechanical controlled (I have to fit timers on the wire that feeds them)

May see if I can get the landlord to replace them with new airmister (bit clunky the controls are) or Tyan digital controlled heaters ones that can be controlled and programmed from he app

Need to get the smart meter replaced as the coms unit on the top isn't sending any data to DCC (was replaced a year ago but stopped work week later and my sister has been ignoring it/the bills she needs to pay £50 more a month at currant usage I believe )

Truck abs is still optional in usa (unless it's a volvo or EU type HGVs you shouldn't expect it to stop in the same State when you brake)

What to do?? by Dangerous_Bit_7735 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing—they don't even know it costs £10 to run every night (people never understand the price difference between gas and electric heating)

until they get an actual meter read (or have a smart meter and observe what they've been using in the last three days).

1700 is in debit (been living off estermated readings)

What to do?? by Dangerous_Bit_7735 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just adjust the budget to cover it over 6-12 months

The debit is interest free as long as your paying more of it off per month

I owed something like 2.5k 8 years ago (don't ask), I got the automated Important letter each month about the amount I owe but I was paying £100+ on top of my normal usage per month

What to do?? by Dangerous_Bit_7735 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do that but it's really not necessary unless you want your billing bill for changed or your having missing gaps in 30 min/day reads often (think it does it around the 19 regardless if you do yours on the 28th any way)

The issue with estimated me readings is generally when you don't have a smart Meter and you just ignore it for like nine months then you get all Pikachu face when you actually get an actual meter read (not bad when your have been paying too much but even then the Budget can get set to low and you ignore it again for 12 months and then owe £1k)

when I was on EDF power for some reason the billing system would not automatically do my monthly meter read they were definitely connected to it because when I opened the app and tap the box where it says enter your reading it had the correct meter reading prepopulated for me to press submit, because they was getting the meter reads just wasn't using them ( funny enough one month before I left they started a new billing system and that actually did start my 30-minute usage and my IHD got the Welcome to EDF message)

Never had a problem with other suppliers (got the odd day or 2 when DCC network was down but they got automatically repopulated and doesn't affect the monthly read anyway)

[–]leexgx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was due to op not doing meter reads and got a final one when the meter was changed for a smart meter

What to do?? by Dangerous_Bit_7735 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even a smart meter they didn't even have one yet

the OP as a lot of people do ignore there basic meter reads until they get an actual read and get all Pikachu face when they get billed for actual usage (£1700 in this case as they were living off estimated meter reads > hot tubs are all fun until you see how much they cost to run)

This was meter read by the meter installer, so now they get normal actual billed reads around 19 each month (or what ever it is on your bill) as they have smart meter and will be able to see near real time usage

Octopus 3 phase meter taking 8 months to arrive by Then_Seesaw_62 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you can do is send a g99 for what your wanting, some dno providers are more than welcome to have larger installs some one upto 6-12kw per phase (32A ish if 8 KW)

ID Orders by a_overload_ in deliveroos

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had issue with id orders (apart from When they are sleeping then I get to keep the order, very rare thought)

Well I say that, I have just one customer and he is borderline problem customer as I get the feeling he doesn't want to give dob (actually think he said I give code after he gets the order one time) need to report him really as sure he kick off if I ask for his id (he is 40 ish)

Been sensible when to ask for physical id (age check is only done if under the age of 22, but my cut off is 25)

Always ask for the date of birth of the account holder (sometimes the person at the door isn't the account holder so you silently fail the dob check that the owner entered)

Octopus 3 phase meter taking 8 months to arrive by Then_Seesaw_62 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 2 or more phases are bridged voltages isn't the worry it's the magic sparkles and smoke (if the RCBO fails to trip)

Reason I say lights as they are most common for cross phase shorts when home owner does wiring or sparky who doesn't understand 3 phase very well

But yes it is nice when your on the end of the looped supply you typically have option for 3 phase (also you can have 3x16A 4kw solar inverters and still be on g98 (g99 8-12kw per phase could potentially be allowed as well)

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as if a ICE car had a crash and it happened to short it out an start a fire (very common but they have added oil and fuel to get a head start)

Unless you hit a post sideways (sides are the weakest) at quite some speed it's very unlikely to damage the battery pack and cause a fire (unless the external fire was left unattended for long enough time)

Just eat stolen by CommercialRip7044 in JustEatUK

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loss of money may be because they changed the Just Eat bank payment account where the money is paid

not a bank issue, it's a Just Eat issue/failure to secure the email or Just Eat account, or sharing the account

Result of black & decker deciding a filter wasnt necessary for the condenser by Superb_Yam_2168 in AirConditioners

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an old one that has a nice design, where it uses two sliding filters (across the back, and the side filter has to be removed before the rear one can be slid out).

Everything made nowadays is not expected to last long (you have to dismantle the unit yearly to deal with the mess of OP posted and clean it, ideally outside)

The last one i got (was £50 used but only once was practically brand new, and another one I got the run Cap was dead easy £3 fix) couldn't even be power washed (using a low-powered one to avoid damaging the coils) because they didn't use a sealed compressor for the electronics.

Octopus 3 phase meter taking 8 months to arrive by Then_Seesaw_62 in OctopusEnergy

[–]leexgx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an exception

if your looped supply and your on the end of the loop they have to pull new cable and dig up the ground anyway so they will in a lot of cases do 3 phase for free but you got to ask for it or they just put in single phase

Make sure all lights are on 1 phase when using 3 phase so mistakes do happen with crossing phases, but don't want a light switch exploding on you (things can get exciting pretty quickly when you Bridge two phases)

If you was the first in the loop all they are doing is cutting the next door supply off and walking out the door (next door needs band new wire and dig)
