Letter tenants when gas check required, no response, turn up and force access, or disc meter. No warrant required around here, no bailiff involved. Smart meter or not, same process.
Turn your electric off, make £££!!!

Nope, totally above board and tested in court.
put the link then , you do realise that by doing that they are also depriving people of cooking facilities so the argument about boiler servicing goes out the window and you do realise its illegal to leave people without heat in the winter months which is why force fit warrants are pointless

yep have the right to make forceable entry . And that would be after getting the relevant permission even the police do not have the right to forceable entry and why ESP workers have a special identity card giving them powers for forced entry council workers do not have that right.
.
.
a final letter is delivered to the tenant by a SHERRIFS OFFICER warning of the consequences of non-co-operation. All letters remind the tenant among other things: of the tenant’s obligations; the landlord’s contractual rights; the regulations, and the dangers of gas installations not being inspected; and the final letters should advise the tenant of the proposed action that will be taken in the event of non-compliance and the tenant’s liability for costs in that event.
And in these cases they should be cutting off the boiler not the gas installation

No, letters to the tenants, no answer, then joiner, gas bod and housing officer turn up and force entry.
Would I like to tell you? I'm not particularly interested how utilities companies investigate and prosecute energy thieves, thanks. I know they exist and cost honest users a lot of money. Anything that makes it easier to fight energy thieves is a good thing boyo.
yep as i said previously wrong interpretation of what is required but as as i have also said that should be getting used to cut the boiler off not the meter and as i have also said it is illegal to leave people without heat in winter months unless the people agree
so basically you bumped your gums yet again
All of gassy's defective waffle doesn't detract from the fact that the processes that lead to being cut off are the same for any meter.
Lol.
Lol.

No, here's an example. And it isn't wrong interpretation, it has been going on for years and no one has successfully challenged it in court.
4.6 If the tenant is not present when forced entry is required due to the gas safety check being overdue, the gas appliances will either:-
• be serviced and a safety certificate issued or
• be made safe by disconnecting the gas supply to the Association’s gas appliances, usually by capping the supply. Where a supply has been capped Appendix 9 ‘Capping of Gas Supply’ letter will be issued.
guess your just ignoring the fact of turning them off then on to a prepayment meter remotely stopping any further debt
Nonsense. I acknowledged the subject and talked about it being a good thing for those that struggle with retrospective billing.
Next...
disconnecting the association appliances
But you said that it had been tested in court can you put a link up to that
And by the way because its in terms and conditions doesnt make it legal
