I've just received a bill from EDF when I already paid my final bill about 5 months ago. It seems to be for the early exit fee for both Gas and Electric (£50).

Octopus 'Smart' Meter?
Octopus installed a new Smart Meter to replace the old one (which worked just fine) on 30 October last year.

I had a message from Resolvecall who are apparently trying to recover an outstanding balance on behalf of JC Acquisition LLC who have purchased it from Scottish Power.
