Surprise

Just got a surprise, british gas emailed me to tell me my bills which is normal, I signed in this morning and saw them.I have just been back on this afternoon and a new account has appeared. Phoned them and a nice man said it was because they have been informed I am br. Therefore the bill up to my br date is cleared and I only have to pay from my br date. I do not have to have a pre payment meter and if there is any problems to email him and he will help me if they push for the bills until they are sorted . I have given him up to date meter readings and they will bring the bill down.

I had not put them on my creditors list so I do not know how the OR knew I was with them.

Nice shock I must admit.

    That's good to know as I'm with British Gas too. I guess with so many people going BR they would lose a lot of customers.

    That's great - I am pleased for you. British Gas have up until now been the most likely of the suppliers to be "difficult" with their service to bankruptees.
    Congrats..... ;)
