I did not owe any money where i last lived , but left these meters in the new house , due to a lot of messing to get them changed at the time. I rang the relevant companies (trans co and the electric one) to find out the suppliers of…

It's a gas - I'm shocked!! Can the utility companies be trusted?
This is NOT a gripe... Those of you with British Gas will recall they introduced a 'price reduction' on March 11th 2007 - Great! Or so they would have you believe. Whilst it is true that British Gas did indeed drop it's prices by way of the 2008 package which no longer tied people into the longer term packages which…

The previous owner bought the house off plan and never registered the gas so for 3 years he's had gas for free. I unfortunately cannot bear that concience and I don't want to be looking…
