Hi all, Has anyone been contacted about outstanding money owed on a british gas bill for the years 2017, I was already paying another energy supplier for that year. I havn't had a British Gas account for over 20 years. So I know this is a scam. How can we stop these parasites from praying on us.

Hi - I have just received, via another address I've never lived at, a letter for an address I rent out for monies owed in 2016. I've googled lots of places and it seems the best thing is to just ignore. I don't owe anything with anyone and they have an address I have never lived at, but they seem to have best guessed. Would be interested to know if anyone's received a 'final' demand. We are just throwing these away0
