    Re: brit gas threatening to cut me off

    Hi I am with British gas they were asking ridiculous amounts of money from me a month for electricity that i could not afford and ran up a small debt with them they threatened to cut me off but i had a prepay meter fitted with the debt added onto it. i now use £15 a week electric which includes the £6 agreed repayment and the £1.23 charge for having a prepay meter. It has made my whole family more aware of turning things off! Also if you have any children under 5 they cannot disconnect u but can break in and fit a prepay meter if you are not there.

      I do not want a gas meter as they are not such a good selling point or so i have been told and as I will have to move May - July time as I have neighbours from hell thanks for reply.

          BG can apply for warrant at magistrates court and rock up with a locksmith,,owing as much as you do your best bet really is a PAYG meter,,unless you can pay a lump sum off.
