Hi,

I moved in to my apartments late last year. Since then I have set up my electricity with a provider and I have no problem with that. However, when I came to this new apartment I knew there was no gas there as was told electric only as it's had extensive refurbishment. However, I keep getting billed by Utilitia for over £100 per month, estimated reading, on gas.

I have contacted landlord of apartments and been given the certificate or document that tells the gas has been removed/cut off months before I moved in. There is only an electricity meter in my apartment.

At the moment, I'm being billed over £100 per month and I have debit of over £1000 with utiliaia but not used any gas what-so-ever. To my date this 'debt' has not been sold on to debt collectors and only get the bills from them about this.

Interestingly, I had discussion with a neighbour who is in similar problem and has been told by their energy company that they can't remove her from their system as their computers show that gas is in place at this block.

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks

What sort of certificate/document is this exactly? e.g. who issued it?

OP - I am a little confused.

For Utilita to be invoicing you - rather than the occupier - you would have had to apply for a gas account.
