British Gas Business Debt Collection notices for non-existent account!

Since the middle of December I have had about 4 unpaid bill reminders, debt collection and disconnection threat letters from British Gas Business completely out the blue for both Gas and Electricity totalling owing amounts of £398.

I have lived in this property for 2 years and have never had an account with them as I have been paying through Scottish Power and N Power. None of the letters are addressed to me, one says 'Occupier unknown', the other is to 'Trust Housing'.

When i spoke to them about it they said it will take up to 6 weeks to investigate. But they're still sending me letters of threat including late payment fines, court fees for a warrant etc etc if I do not pay in 10 days etc.. it is unbelievable.

I just wondered if anyone else has had the same experience and why BT lets it happen?!!

Contact energywatch - http://www.energywatch.org.uk/contact_us/index.asp and explain to them that you feel really intimidated by the threats of being taken to court.

BTW The issue has nothing to do with BT.
