I MOVED OUT OF A FLAT IN DECEMBER 2007 INFORMING THE SUPPLIERS OF MY METER READING AND DISCONNECTION. TWO HOMOSEXUAL MEN MOVED INTO THE PROPERTY IN MARCH 2009 -NOV 2008 AND CONTINUED TO OBTAIN A SUPPLY IN MY NAME. THEY THEN RAN OFF WITHOUT PAYING! THEY COULD NOT BE LOCATED!
IN DEC 2008 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A DEBT COLLECTION AGENCY TELLING ME THEY WERE GOING TO FORCE ENTRY ON MY PRESENT ADDRESS (IT HAS NO GAS SUPPLY) AND DISCONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY?
THEY SAID I OWED £324 FOR GAS UPTO NOV 2008! I HADNT OCCUPIED THE PROPERTY FOR THAT YEAR!
I TELEPHONED BRITISH GAS ONLY TO BE TOLD TO "TEAR UP THE BILLS". I THEN CONTINUED TO RECEIVE DEMANDS AND AWFUL PHONE CALLS. I RECEIVED A "FINAL DEMAND" IN DEC 08 FOR £39 AND PAID IT ONLY TO RECEIVE A FURTHER LETTER AFTER A WEEK WITH ANOTHER "FINAL DEMAND" FOR £145!!
I AM BOMBARDED WITH THREATENING LETTERS FROM THEM AND IT IS REALLY QUITE UPSETTING. BRITISH GAS IS BEHAVING LIKE GANGSTERS RUNNING A PROTECTION RACKET! WITH TERROR AND INTIMIDATION UNTIL YOU PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU DONT OWE!
