No ayr here, just got them out qfter an hour or so of fighting. It was very tempting to walk away though I have to admit...
I would’ve still walked away. I remember not milking one night because the parlour went on stop and we couldn’t get hold of our fitter because the weather was horrendous so problems everywhere. We sent them back to the cubicles and they didn’t bat an eye lid.

In hindsight I wish I did, just walking them down the track now so may as well milk them.
If they don't make me cry the 3lectric bill I just found in the postbox certainly will, sse want £6,000 from me with interest and are threatening to turn my electric off if I don't pay within 48hrs! They haven't supplied me for 6 months!!! Moved to British gas because they were over charging me and I'm certainly not paying for electric twice!
Best part is they know they haven't been supplying me because they phoned me afterwards trying to get me back!

We have always got on well with SSE, have you got a copy of your termination contract bit, should be simple to sort.

I did it through go compare so should have something from them. They even sent someone out to do a metre reading last week luckily I spotted him and sorted it.

Hoping like you say its an easy fix but just another fix to have to fix if you know what I mean?
Can they turn it off even if they don't supply me? The letter was dated Saturday and its now Monday so worried about milking tomorrow morning and can't get through to them now 🙄

As long as you have paperwork showing your paying for electric you will be fine.
If the other company hasn't been billing you there could be another electric company fudge up when things might not be so simple.

No one will switch it off but this sounds tricky. Like you said you’ve got room in your overdraft cos it may well need paid then claimed back best case! Utilities are a nightmare it’ll possibly be 50/50 if your right or they are.

Daughter already keen on her calf shows, but I draw the line at showing cows. I'm NOT going down that rabbit hole.

Ask me again in 2 years it may be a different story by then 🤣🤣🤣

I keep telling her dad at least it's not ponies!!
Ponies are cheap enough, it’s when the transition to horses takes place costs escalate rapidly!
