billed for energy use based on last tenants tariffs
I recently moved to a new flat and immediately switched energy suppliers from the old occupant's very expensive tariffs with EDF and British Gas.

Gas bill problems

I know there's often strict protocols :rolleyes: Right, in my old house, the gas meter was broken and didn't tick over.

Question of the week: Prepayment meters
Q.My flat has a pre-payment meter from the last tenants. Our energy bills are terribly expensive because of this. Is there anything I can do? A.
