    I am having the same issue now as well. @EMJ_85 did you ever get this resolved?

    Moved to a flat in July, tenancy documents said to contact sse - which I did through the online form.

    In August- not having heard anything, I contacted sse just to find out that this flats meter was on sse business. Contacted sse business, and notified them that it's a residential property. And that i had moved in.

    A few months pass, and in November I get a bill with business rates on them similar to the ones in the post. These are way above the ofgem caps.
    The EPG does not apply to business tariffs.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
