Entry Warrant addressed to The Occupier from British Gas

Hi, I've been receiving bills and threats from British Gas addressed to 'The Occupier' that are slowly getting out of hand.

The silly thing is I already have an account with BG, fully paid and up to date, and more importantly these new bills don't have the same gas meter number as the one that supplies my apartment!

Obviously British Gas have messed up their billing system, but I can't get any sense of out them. I made three phone calls explaining the situation, but was repeatedly told to ignore the bills. I decided letters were probably the way forward, so I sent them a letter of complaint but haven't received a reply. I've also sent a letter to my letting agent informing them of the situation - no reply there either.

Anyway, yesterday I received a letter informing me in big capital letters that BRITISH GAS WILL BE OBTAINING A WARRANT TO ENTER THE PREMISES. Really, can they do that? Can they do that when it's addressed to The Occupier?

I'm confident I am legally in the right, with proof to back everything up, British Gas haven't a leg to stand on. But I wouldn't be surprised if they continued with their silly charade and blindly carried out one of their 'threats' without properly investigating.

The question is, what is the worst British Gas can do in this situation? And how do I stop this stupid game when no-one will listen to me? Your advice is much appreciated

I would and call BG ask them to check the Xoserve database(for gas) and ECOES ( for Elec) to see if you have 2 MPRN's supplied to your property. If this is correct they will need to transfer you to the Customer Escalation Team to resolve. Once this is received by the CET they will get the Warrant cancelled.
