unregistered gas meter
Hi,
I moved into a property in summer 09, that had had both the elec and gas meters removed. I contacted BG to reinstall them and set up a DD payment for the pair, but i have just realised i have not been recieving any gas bills just electricity.
I checked with a firend that has access to the xoserve database, and they've confirmed that my MPR is unregistered to a supplier.
I presume i must be liable for the gas used, but do i have any way to reduce the amount i am liable for, as obviously BG didnt set up my account properly?
or if if i take my MPR to another supplier and register with them, might i avoid a bill for gas used altogether?
help would be appreciated, as I really would struggle to pay any large bill over anything but a very long period.

It would be most unusual for a supplier to go to the expense of coming out and fitting you a meter if you are not their customer.
Anyway, you can check for yourself. See the important info on IGTs too.

If you can prove you contacted them and they have not billed you then the Back Billing Rule (12 months) may apply.IT Consultant in the utilities industry specialising in the retail electricity market.
