Shared pay meter?

If I’m getting this correctly then the PRIMARY meter is operating in pre payment mode? 

You then have sub or check meters in individual flats? 

If so that needs rectifying....it’s classified as AT RISK and this is documented in section 2.6 of IGEM G11

 Do you know where I can find a copy of the IGEM G11?

Scroll down to the table on Page 20.

It would be interesting to find out to which property the 'shared' PPM is registered: it can't be both.

The landlord told me to tell EDF the property is 111A so I assume it's registered with that property. Oddly enough when searching the address (like when you're ordering  something to de delivered), 111B doesn't actually show up.

Almost certainly because the property has been unofficially divided and never registered as two units, either on the RM database, and possibly on the local authority listing. LL may not have wanted it as 2 units for CT purposes. Is your CT billed to 111A specifically?

Silly suggestion perhaps, but why not just let it run out and see what happens?  It's in the best interests of both properties residents to get it sorted out.

I don't find anything strange where electricity and gas meters are concerned. How much credit are on the meters? Which property does EDF have the meters supplying?

I'm sorry, what's CT? If you mean the gas bill then yes

I can barely get the neighbour to understand "where is flat B", so I can't imagine her understanding much to do with the bill

I assume they supply both as the landlord said I just had to call up and request a card, I don't think there is any credit on the meters.

Hi,

CT will be Council Tax.

If CT is helpfully 'included' with your rent, then your LL is most definitely on the fiddle, as he has the accom registered as one unit only. As the occupier, you and you alone are liable for CT, and will be liable for any CT arrears due during your tenancy if the LL has only registered it as one unit.
How about the water bills? Bodged up amateur conversions frequently do not divide the water supply.

OK, well let the meter run out and see if the neighbour's power goes off in addition to yours. It's the quickest way to find out what's going on.
For gas, shut off the meter in your flat and see if the neighbour complains.
