| Prepaid 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. 2 Likes 3 Shares

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. 6 Likes 1 Share |

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. 3 Likes |

You can as well reach out to their office close to you for clarity.. Bringing it online won't really solve this issue. So act fast. 2 Likes |

Bypass,no meter should read on negative.Either there is a bypass or the meters are sharing a common neutral capable for it to be reading negative,but in this case I sure it's a bypass 2 Likes |

Go to metering office and find out whatsup. That's the only way you can solve this issue. They will sit you down and look at your back office to know what's happening. Make sure you do it while those Tennant's are there so that you can bill them if there is another bill to pay. |

Account type is showing prepaid whereas, the transaction looks like postpaid account. Something is amidst here. Go to IBEDC office nearest to you and lodge complain before it's too late. 1 Like |
