Letting Agent trying to set up an interim with OVO Energy

Miniclare01

I have read a previous forum regarding letting agents setting up tenant account and interim account but I have a situation where we have start reading and end reading for the landlord but OVO wont talk to me unless i set up the account in my name which I am not doing. 

The landlord has been overseas for 10 years and has no plans to return. I told them the bill just wont be paid and they said they would deal with it when he comes back. The previous post had a comment from OVO regarding setting up a move in but does anyone know how to just get a bill for that interim period. 

Thanks in advance

You're a professional noletting agent?

What's your objection to setting up an account in the name of your business? Isn't this part of the service you provide?

@QrizB They are not asking for the company name they wont do that, they are asking for my personal name and not allowing c/o company so that holds me personally liable. Thanks

To be clear are you just the letting agent here, not on a commercial lease to then let to actual occupants (as a rent guarantee)?
