    OK, we've sent a compaint letter off and asked British Gas for all statements and payments made so waitin for that!
    What complicates things is that we lived above a hairdressers and our electricity/gas meter was actualy in the hairdressers so we found it hard to check it and were also having problems getting meter readings from the letting agent- should she have them or would it have been our responsibility to get them?
    Normally the letting agent will record the readings when you move in and out, typlicallly when they do the inventory. You should also have kept a copy yourselves along with copies of all bills in case of issues like this.

  • Well, after a 45 minute conversation with British Gas giving all our evidence of payments today they admitted they made a mistake and we owe precisely £0.00! Only problem is we paid off the debt company LCS so I'm guessing they're not gonna be exactly helpful as we try and get the money back from them lol!
