It goes on as 'emergency' credit, so he hasn't lost it as you can use the emergency if the normal credit runs out.
Hope that helpsTank fly boss walk jam nitty gritty...0 -

Has he phoned and told the suppliers that he has moved in?
Another option to EC would be that the previous tenant was paying a balance back throught the meters.
You cna check by looking at screen 27 on the gas meter and S on the electricity meter.0
