Pre-Payment Meter Standing Charges.

If somebody moves into a new house and there are pre-paid meters as used by the previous owner, is the new owner responsible for any standing charges if no electricity or gas is consumed for a period of months? The new owner has not contracted with the energy suppliers in his own name or credited the meters with a key thingy.

  • Yes Simon I believe that the new owner will have to pay off any outstanding amount if energy is consumed, but is the new owner responsible if he never uses say any gas and does not contract to use the gas meter, and has no key?
