YOU HAVE YOUR SAY

EVERY week, Money Mail receives hundreds of your letters and emails. Here are some from our report on how smart meters are expected to cost £9 billion more than forecast: IT IS easy to read your meter and fill in the details online. Not everybody has internet access, but for the majority who do, how hard is it to send a monthly reading to eliminate estimated bills? I’d rather that than have a smart meter. D. E., Edinburgh. DIFFERENT companies fit different meters, so when you change energy suppliers the meters are not compatible. They then have to be changed, which is just crazy. Who is picking up the cost for this? Consumers in the end. D. N., Chelmsford, Essex.

I’M GLAD I had mine fitted, I have saved money and have not had to change my lifestyle. S. T., Carlisle. SMART meters are of no use to us. It’s a way for energy suppliers to get their money quicker. T. C., Doncaster.

FROM the tone of the letter EDF Energy sent me, I thought I had to install a smart meter because the Government said so. Now I find that was misinformation. In the meantime, I’ve had a letter telling me my bills are rising £50 a quarter, and will continue to rise. L. V., London.

NO MATTER the issue, the consumers will never, ever come out on top. The system is loaded so the suppliers always win. P. T., Portsmouth.
