MoneySavers HELP ME!
Hi everyone
This is the situation I'm in now: I moved into a new house in October 2006. Immediately I applied to change electricity supplier to British Gas (don't ask me why!?). BG send me a couple of letters confirming that they have my direct debit details etc and the last communication that I had was another letter saying that they will contact me just before they do the switch and at that point they will ask me for the meter reading.
They actually never did that! A few months now from that time, I still haven't paid anything for my electricity bills and of course I'm worried that I will receive a huge bill that I won't be able to cope with.
Please, tell me what are your thoughts on this? What is the best thing that I should do now? Should I just submit my first and my current reading now and try to resolve this?
Thanks everyone!

Estimate your usage and put the money in an interest earning bank account; you don't have to spend it.
When they finally sort themselves out you will have the money available.
