utilities saga

[ajva]

Won't bore you with the details, but basically, despite much phoning up of utility companies, Transco and so on, no-one was claiming responsibility for my gas supply. I was concerned at this, as I was worried that I could get cut off and then have no idea who to call up about it.

Today and yesterday, I appear to have spoken to someone With Clue at EDF. They'll be getting in touch with Transco and annexing my meter as a "found meter".

And the good news?

No retrospective bills. I don't owe anyone a penny, because - let's emphasise this - no-one was claiming responsibility for my gas supply. That's 18 months of free gas, suckers. I so win.

18 months free Gas? better than a clip round the ear fer sure.

I'm slightly concerned by the fact that the West Wing has so far not been charged for gas, electric, council tax, ground rent or service charge. The first two because I think we're still using a builders supply, the latter two because our freeholder hasn't been in touch.

I should write a letter...

Win! Some mates of mine lived for at least a year in the 90s in a flat which the electricity board refused to admit existed. There was some laxness about switching lights off ...

I suppose one should actually thank privatisation, in this case, as it couldn't (I think?) have happened when there was just BG ...

18 months? That's even better than my 9 months of free gas that happened after London Electricity claimed to NPower to now be supplying me, NPower refused to accept money as they hadn't paid for my gas, and I refused to pay LE on the grounds I had no contract with them. Last I heard from them...
