I lived in a property from September 06 Until June 07 in Leicestershire.

Do outstanding utility bills die with the deceased?
Hi, Back in November last year my grandfather unfortunely passed away. Whilst he was alive he ran up quite a few bills for electricity as his old boiler had packed in and it took a while to get him a new one, so we heated his house with electric heaters for a long time. Now he is dead, my family have contacted all of the…

Economy 7 meter
Hi all Was just wondering, and didn't want to hijack someone elses economy seven thread, can I ask npower to bill me on standard rate rather than e7 rates?

Estimate of cost to heat the water for a bowl of washing up.
I've just bought an energy meter from Amazon and plugged it into my kettle. A brimmed kettle of water (about 8 cups) uses 0.16 units (Kilowatt hours, aka Kwh). I estimate that it'd take two of these mixed with cold water to create a typical bowl of washing up liquid. Maybe slightly less. Call it 0.32 units. I also did a…

Npower hijacked my gas supply?
My gas supply has been with Southern Electric for a while, however I stopped getting bills back in August last year. I tried to submit a meter reading in January, expecting that they'd be wanting one, however they told me they were not longer my suppliers and I'd been transferred out. This seemed odd, as I knew that I had…
