As well as following the good advice on this board to see the CAB , dont contact the electric co.
I am no lawyer ,but in England, I think there is a statute of limitations on civil debt recovery of 7 years. So as a backstop to Al Mac above : they cannot legally chase or sue for a debt over 7 years old.(I think)
(so just lie low for some more years !)

As per the energy ombudsmen suppliers can only back bill for 2 years at present and 1 year from next july - All major suppliers have agreed to this.0 -
Many thanks for all the advice.
I may advise to wait until July.0
