Everybody, including banks and Govt departments, are quite happy to accept a utility bill as 'proof'. It's bonkers.

My dog (he has his own email address) is the account holder for my broadband, because that way he got an introductory gift as a new customer. Vodafone are quite happy to address the bills to 'Mr Schnauzer' but of course they've never been to check whether he does live here.

guessing your dog is called hotspot ?

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll have to get myself authorised on the accounts in some way in case I need to manage any issues.

Just call them when your father is there, to speak to them at the same time.

Some utility companies may require the legal homeowner to take responsibility for services, so you might need to check their policies.

then they would never supply to rented properties!
