PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Got an email from the agent today to setup CT/elec/gas/bb/water etc for me, should I?
I thought Spark Energy went bust quite a while ago?
They did, they got taken over by OVO.
We had one of these - I assumed Spark were the pre-existing provider we had to take over.
Went with them for a few months to get a smart meter installed. Customer service is incompetently awful, and months later we're still arguing over final bills.
Once upon a time I was with OVO, who were absolutely fine. It's night and day different from Spark.
The Landlord is liable for the council tax when the property is empty and you would be completely surprised at how many tenants forget to inform the council tax people that they have moved in and are now liable to pay.
All the letters demanding payment arrive at the rental property addressed to" the occupier " so are ignored by the tenants !
