LCS letters

I have received letters (although not my address but the address where my dad and grandparents live) from LCS debt recovery saying I owe money to London Gas for dates that I WAS living in the property they claim owes the money.

However, I have never heard of London Gas (neither has google by the looks of things) and am sure the gas was supplied by EDF. Does anybody know if they are linked or are parent/sister companies or something?

What should I do now? I have already made the mistake of calling them because my dad forwarded the letters to me and was concerned. If I continue to ignore them my nan will keep getting letters and it is bothering her already

    Have you paid the supplier for the energy you used whilst at the property?

    If not I suggest you pay up and the debt collection letters will magically stop, allowing your nan to live in peace :)
