Question re gas/electricity/water etc

Didn't want to hijack an earlier thread, but after BR do you have to inform gas/electric/water/Sky/contents insurance etc of your BR status?

Even though I have not once been in arrears with a payment will these providers insist I switch to a pre payment system?

Thanks :)

    Hi, i can only answer for myself and what i was told by my OR.
    I had no debts to gas, elec or water so he said there wasnt a need to tell them, may be diff if i change suppliers im sure someone will come along and answer that one

    i had a big debt with the electric company,they couldnt have been nicer/easier. still kept my direct debit and wasnt forced on a key meter. if you dont have any debt cant see why youd need to tell them. although ins maybe different depending on insurance amount etc

  • I was told if you have no debt with your utility companies you do not have to disclose your bankruptcy.
