I have just moved into my flat and I am trying to switch from British Gas to Octopus for my energy supply.

I contacted Octopus and they have said my meter is registered as a standard meter and not a prepayment meter (my electricity is PAYG) and I need to get a British Gas to rectify the issue. I contacted British Gas said they have raised a ticket to get this changed. I spoke to support today and I got two different answers.

One of the answers I got was that I would have to wait 7 days for an update and then after I might have to wait longer to get this fixed and it may or may not be fixed.

The other answer I got was that it can be done and it would be done in 7 days as it’s marked as a priority but it could be longer.

My question is can my request to have meter information updated be done and does it take long? This is my first flat so I am very new to this.

I have my father’s face
You can see him before you see me
I’m his carbon copy
My mom’s constant remainder
of a man who whose parting gift was the chaos he brought her

Being no contact was supposed to rid myself of him
And yet his seat is still warm,
the fridge is still fully stocked with his beer
I’m a daddy’s girl at heart, his built in ride or die
Yet my diagnosis reads;
Daddy issues with a lifetime of therapy

My inheritance from my dad
is a hole in my heart
A hole that can’t be filled
no matter how many men come and fill this space

Daddy issues and therapy bills have become my self-image
The motivation to throw out all of my mirrors
I can’t keep torturing myself
with reminders of the person who narrated my nightmares
Even if it means that I’ll never know who I could become
