Just got new house - moving in soon.
Gas meter & electric meter are working fine. All utilities working.
But I can't figure out who supplies us?
I called for Meter Point Ref Number, which I was given, told I was supplied by "Customers" and to telephone 0500005008 to organise a new account. What?! :confused:
Ditto problems with figuring out the electricity supplier.
Can I simply call my current supplier (EDF) and ask them to transfer my account onto the new house on moving day without going via the house's supplier? And if not do I need to sit back and wait for a letter to "the occupier" or something?!
Confused!! :eek:

    Just to update,

    Just spoke to British Gas and registered a new account with them.
    They told me that current house supplier is EDF - they will contact EDF with our moving in meter reading for the first 28 days as we'd already taken possession of the house and then will switch over to BG -- I'm sure there was an easier way, but what can I say, I'm a novice at life!
