    Just for info - in case any of you are asked this again - or, sadly, face the same dilemmas - The Energy Company sorted out the electric and gas in a fairly straightforward way, BUT I HAD to put it in MY name. Likewise, with the Boiler Cover.


    This means, of course, that I am now liable for all payments, problems, etc.


    I really don't think this is right, especially since I'm the one with the least money....

    I've never come across this - all my MIL's utilities, insurances other bills are in her name.
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    If you don't have a POA then if you do have to sort something & they accept you sorting it then it becomes your responsibility & no longer the original persons as they are not in a position to accept that responsiblity.
