Dear Phumla,
 
We sincerely apologise for the poor service you have recently experienced with Citiq. We take great pride in providing exceptional support to all our customers and receiving such feedback from a valued customer is not what we want to be known for. 
 
 We have been in direct contact with you about the meter you are having issues with and as per our conversations it would appear that the meter is in a minus balance state. This means that the meter is unable to vend electricity as there are no positive balance credits available. This happens on this specific type of meter as a value-added function to allow the user sufficient time to purchase more tokens, while keeping the electricity on. 

In order to remedy this situation, the tenant needs to purchase electricity tokens from our Citiq Tenant app, or any of our trusted retail partners. When making the purchase the tenant needs to purchase enough tokens to replenish the negative balance but also to start vending electricity under normal operations. 

We trust that we have been able to resolve this matter in a successful manner and that the detailed assistance and education on the management of the meter has been sufficient. 

If you need any further support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Warm Regards

Citiq Management Team
