  • Edf standing charges

    I've lived in a council flat for 4 years and have never used gas during this time although I have a gas meter. I received a letter from a bailiff acting on behalf of EDF yesterday stating I owed £152.23 for gas. When I rang them to query I was told this was for a years worth of a daily standing charge for having a gas meter even though they can see I have never used any gas in this time. I'm on a pre paid meter for my electric with them and have never registered my name or details with them. They some how have all my details and have advised me that even though I have never signed any contract or had any arrangements with them that I was liable for these charges.

    After complaining to them they have offered me a £50 credit towards the arrears.

    I have never received a bill from them regarding any arrears and they are only asking for a years worth of standing charges even though I have lived her for 4 years are they allowed to do this? Am I liable for these payments? What can I do to get them removed? Please help

      I suspect if you look at your tenancy agreement there will be something in there, and it will be your Landlord who has notified them. I would fight this, possibly using your councillor and/or MP initially and would certainly ask Edf to come and remove the meter immediately, or put it in writing that you will have zero charges for the gas supply to your property during your tenure.
