Why not go to the nearest Phcn office and do official complaint to avoid paying the incurred bills yourself when the current occupants will leave.
I would do that as soon as possible.... Thank you...

Just pay the debt on it.
The meter is faulty. It was suppose to trigger off when the credit finished but it didn't. Not new to me.
I would say you are in luck if it was for your personal use because you can use and pay anytime you want, no pressure.

Clear the debt first, then inform the 'NEPA' office so that they can fix it or replace it. Thanks.
The part it doesn't trigger off, that's what is giving me concern. The negative amount also added to the outstanding debts looks confusing, I spoke to an electrician he said maybe the meter is borrowing units on it own thereby incurring more debts....

The free lights u were using before they installed the meters... U would keep paying gradually till it's paid
I am actually aware of this, just that the meter hasn't off since 4 months ago it was installed so we can purchase unit on it. Then when I request for the outstanding bills, I discovered there's a negative amount added which I don't understand, an electrician said maybe the meter is borrowing units on its own thereby incurring more debts...
PropertiesPrepaid Meter Issue by Gentlesoul2021(op): 4:36pm On Oct 16, 2024
Good afternoon everyone

I will like u all to please help me on this issue.
4 months ago, I requested for a new prepaid meter for 11 shops, even though 5 of them requested to be disconnected from nepa light while 6 shops was connected to the meter.

My concern now is, since I acquire this meter 4/5 months ago, this meter has not trigger off so they can recharge on it which has started giving me concern lately then I log on ibedc (Ibadan electricity distribution company) to obtain the outstanding bills for this new meter and from the look of things, aside the amount placed on the meter (by phch through their dubious means) from estimated billings prior to the insurance of the meter, I noticed a negative amount reading on the meter which I find very confusing.

I am beginning to think maybe the meter has started borrowing units on it own with what I read somewhere online.

These guys has been using light for over 8months without paying light bills.

I will like to act fact on this issue as this shop occupants abandoned a previous meter they were using earlier citing no amount of unit they purchase on it quickly exhaust which prompted them to go request for an outstanding bills on the meter and it was discovered that about 350k debt was on it incurred by the previous tenants.

I don't want such occurrence on the new meter so I want to act fast.

Please I will like someone knowledgeable about metering stuffs to please take a look and possibly give next line of action..
Thank you so much...

Mods please help push to front page for a wider contribution.

lharstborn:
You're very correct on whether he wins or lose in court, the landlord will force him to park out. I'm in such dilemma too.. Just moved into a 2 bedroom flat and discovered when I wanted to recharge units that there is debt of 100k plus on my meter's account. Brought this development to my landlord's attention who said he has no business with it and that I should go sort it out. Now for every recharge I make, I'm being deducted 60% of the amount I pay to offset bill while I get 40% worth of electricity unit.
I won't say pim.. What I'll do is be settling of the money, when I know I am ready to move out of the apartment I will use months worth of that 100k before I move out.
Sometimes one needs to deal with unscrupulous peeps in their own coin.
Hello I don't know if u can see this
Pls how do u check the debts on a prepaid meter. I am currently in the same issue, after recharge, units finish quicky ND I have been hearing of this meter debts of a thing. Pls help

Be innovative. Find ways to conserve power. Switch off power from the change over when you're not around. There are times when you really don't need power on. One of my friends uses one AC from the living room to cool the entire house (apartment though). Everyone just opens the bedroom door to collect share.

You are a dummy.

In Edo, Meters can be moved.

You just have to do transfer , like PVC.

I am seeing that in Ikeja, the policy is different.

Even if you can’t, there is always back door!
I have heard of the transfer of a thing....

My family house is facing such issue at the moment. Last year when everyone was instructed to upgrade their meter, the meter rejected the code and an official came to remove it for repair. When they took it to their office for documentation, they discovered that the meter was displaying "meter number does not exist" and as such they instructed us to go buy another new meter... There's an abandoned meter in one of the shops wic was situated right in front of the house, so we negotiated with an official who is willing to help and told us we would obtain a transfer form for 25k since it is in same compound, we don't know if he wanted to cash out from us but it is still better than buying a new meter of over 130k and installation billings...

netmillionaires:
So many things need clarification in this country. Another issue bothering me is concerning electricity connection. I built a house for my parent but electricity is yet to get to the area. My parents are staying there and have been managing the small solar installation.

Now while the electric pole is being gradually installed, The community CDA is asking the houses to make payment for the poles and the metal nepa cable that connects the poles before being allowed to connect their houses to the mains. The requested amount from each house is close to #300,000. So I have been wondering who owns the pole and its connecting lines. If it is NEPA, why then do we have to pay that much to connect our house?

Is it not the electricity companies' responsibility to bring their service to the area while the landlords pay for monthly services rendered?
The community leaders are thieves, NEPA will bring their services into a new community since they know they will charge each household that tap into their light each month on estimated Billings or by prepaid subscription. What the community does is to charge a token on each household should in case of maintenance of what NEPA installed...
When light was brought into the community I reside years ago, we were only charged 10,000 for the tapping of light into our house after the Nepa install their pole and metal cable then other monthly electricity bills followed. So where a new individual wants to tap a light into his/her house the community will go there to collect the amount set for it. The last I heard of it, it's now 20,000...

Trendy247:
If you can afford 40k bill on a month, then you can afford to get your own prepaid meter. But be aware that prepaid meters are not movable.
You're right but It can be transfered within a short distance thou risky provided u don't register with house number...
In the community I am, each houses was recently numbered, so when each of us register for meter years ago, we only use the street name...
