Who will get charged for this?

I tried to switch my electricity to N Power from EDF Energy.

Due to a problem with the main database N Power took over the meter of a different house on my estate so I basically had an electricity account with EDF (for my meter) and another with N Power (for someone elses meter).

N Power refused to accept anything was wrong for a month (even though the meter serial number they had on the account was different to my actual meter) and then said they would cancel the account and send the meter back to EDF.

Who will get charged for the electricity used on the meter in the month it was incorrectly transferred to me?

    Whoever was paying for the electricity before the meter was transferred to you.

    The supply should be going back as an erroneous transfer, which means nPower will not bill for the supply. Edf will reopen the old accounts.
