PLEASE HELP - who is my supplier?
Comments
-
Ok... Been living in a rented flat now for a year, and for the whole year we have not had one gas bill - lucky? Well, not quite.. as the constant fear of an annual gas bill is scary.
We've just renewed our contract for the flat again, however we have asked the landload (for the 100th time) to find out who our supplier is.
I've tried numerous steps - the landlord first told us we were with British Gas, however when I phoned them, they told us we were with another supplier and when I phoned the second company, they told us we weren't with them either.
So, I phoned the gas board, and gave them the code from the gas box - and we were told that they have no supplier details to give us.
As you can imagine, we are really confused and worried, as a years worth of gas will not be cheap. I also start to worry that if we haven't had a gas bill, the previous tenant may also have got away without paying for gas, therefore I don't want to be lumbered with their bills.
I realise that we will be able to break down the payment, but when you have bills, student loans, etc coming out each month, the last thing you want is big payments going towards gas.
It's not as if we have been laid back and not tried. Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this problem and/or suggestions on how we could perhaps negotiate the final bill when it's eventually presented to us?
Thanks!!
How to identify your gas supplier
You really need to sort this out soonest. I don''t know why you have already left things for a year.
You will get billed for the usage eventually, and without other arrangements being in place, that will be at the suppliers standard (expensive) rate, so the sooner you act, the sooner you can get onto a much more competitive tariff"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
