Switched to an E7 Smart meter in mid-August (electric only, no gas), readings started being recorded almost immediately, no upto 6 week wait for me I thought however billing ignored them!
I assumed this was because final readings from the previous meter had not been posted for some reason.
Eventually after a few contacts with Customer Support and raising a complaint, I got this fixed in mid-October (8+ weeks after install) in under 2 hours when the right person got on the case, so I was happy.
Relaxed too soon as within a few days my meter went dark - all the correct lights were on, blinking at the correct rate and the home monitor was working fine but readings were not reaching the OVO billing systems.
Found the link on the Forum to the OVO web page to report this issue, filled in the details and got a response that I would be contacted in upto 45 days !
Meanwhile started giving manual readings so as not to get any crazy estimates on usage.
Did some more digging on the forum and found the following link - https://smartmetercheck.citizensadvice.org.uk/ which reported that my MPAN was not registered at the DCC !
Why would it suddenly disappear after working fine for some considerable time or was it a false negative?
Have now received an email telling me that as OVO cannot "see my meter" then this will require an engineer visit to fix - I assume to re-register my meter at the DCC ?
My question is has anyone any idea why my MPAN registration would go AWOL from the DCC ?
