    The gas and electricity are both in my name, we are with british gas. I get billed quarterly and I am not in debt with them. Next bill due in about 2 months. Does that mean that my br will make a difference to my accounts. Will they close my account or give me a prepayment meter.

    I am confused

    They seem to be doing this lately, even when no debt has been included in BR. Custard Cream is about the 3rd person in the last 2-3 weeks this has happened to.

  • My son is 18 and lives at home, my husband also going br, does that mean if british gas do want to cancel us we could open a new account in my sons name.

    We had our gas bill included in our bankruptcy and all British Gas did

    was they waited for conformation from the OR, then opened a new account.

    Not had any trouble at all. Also had electric with NPower they just wanted a different

    name on the bill, so put daughters, it only lasts for a year then you can transfer it back

    to you own.

    HTH

    That sounds promising then. I'm getting to the point now where I want a hassle-free life; the past year has been bad enough!
