    If your name was on the account, then yes, you are liable. If however it was in your husband's name then you personally are not liable and they should chase him for the outstanding balance - you then transfer the account into your name.

    Hi nina26

    kelloggs36 is right, if the account is in your husbands name then you should not be liable for the outstanding balance.

    If you email your details to forumresponse@npower.com, I'll take a look into it for you.

    Best Wishes
    Sally :)
