No. If you're not using/paying for energy in that house any more then there's no need for financial help for it.IdunnoHELP said:We have received £66 in Oct, £66 in Nov & £67 in December.

You are responsible for the standing charges and electricity consumption up to the date the sale completes. That's the day to read the meters and close the account. The next owner will open an account with the supplier. Whoever has the account on 1 January will get the next payments.

If you don't have an electricity account on the 1st of January, you will not get the £67.
The money is paid to you by the supplier where you have an account on the first of the month, if you don't have an account there is no payment.0 -
