A man was told "the meter is never wrong" after being charged £40,000 a day for electric.
But the exorbitant amount was the result of a fault with his smart meter after all and now he's had to turn it off and shut it in a cupboard to avoid any further false readings.
Paul Davies, 46, of Scunthorpe, spotted the mistake and confronted supplier EDF after receiving a letter telling him they would be upping his direct debit to £400 a month because of the readings, GrimsbyLive reports.
