Maybe it hasn't appeared yet because we've only just got our habitation license. Did you pay IMI last year? If you bought your proper...

How did they arrange their visit to adjust the trip switch? Our meter is outside the property but the trip switch is inside. Mine is outside, I wasn't there when they visit. To tell you the truth, I don't even know if they went there, because they didn't schedule any visit. From what I see on EDP' ...
