Pre-Payment Meter Standing Charges.

Zoomup
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.

    Surely a pre-payment key-operated gas meter has no standing charge? The only thing you pay for is to top up the key - the cost per unit being higher to cover what would otherwise be a standing charge?




     

    I know from personal experience that an electricity key meter has a standing charge. See what happens if you leave a property unoccupied for some time!
