Electricity token

I’ve been struggling with my meter from 2014 but they refuse to replace my meter I have to ask my neighbours to switch off their power in order for me to load electricity and still it doesn’t work I’ve had several technicians come here they see the problem but they don’t inform anyone to my issue

My box displays an error ……….30……… so In this case I have to power of all appliances in my unit so I can be able to load a token it has worked before but now it doesn’t work so I have to ask my next door neighbour to power off everything in their unit and when they have to load a token I must also power off for them to load so it’s a never ending issue

I feel like I’m dealing with *********** individuals they log calls a technicians comes powers off other people then they leave but I still face the same issue when I have to load a token again

I’m really struggling and would like to put this issue to rest.

Good day Bright

The code 30 error is a common technical problem with prepaid meters where the communication between the keypad and the meter fails.  The communication failure may typically be as a result of interference with the signal from other appliances and it is completely beyond our control.

Although you can google the code 30 error for some pointers, we will also email you more information on how to address the problem.

Kind regards

Beyond your control I fail to accept that response

Two units in my complex had the same issue only to find out that someone had linked two units on one box so one was *****ing electricity from the other

I fail to understand how I can use up R500 electricity and I stay alone leave home early hours and come back late around 11pm whenever I have load your guys have to come and switch off electricity in other units so that I can load mine which is *******

I know you will tell me to switch off all plugs and such as decoder microwave etc……… but it doesn’t work you can ask your technicians they’ve tried that several times

Dear Bright

If you suspect that a neighbor is *****ing electricity from you, kindly report it to the Body Corporate.  Could you be so kind to provide your address?
