Look lawyers earn £80/hour. Meter readers earn £10 an hour. If a solicitor needs to read your meter then either he is a terrible lawyer or it's a scam. Nearly choked on my blueberries. And the rest, which is considerable

Meter readers get paid the same as teaching assistants it seems. very comparable trades. The main difficulty is getting the elderly relative to respect me enough to believe that there is a problem.

Bluntly, if that's an issue - I'd leave them to it. You've said your piece, offered help/advice and they are adults. Sometimes people have to make the mistake in order to learn from it. Difficult though. I have to regularly walk my elderly relatives back from posting all kinds of on Facebook that would likely get them into legal hot water if they went through with it.
