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.

    Okay, start at the beginning.


    Why was the prepayment meter installed?


    Was it because the previous account holder was in debt.


    Has the previous account holders debt been added to the prepayment meter as a weekly repayment on top of the daily standing charge?


    If the meter has not been topped up for several weeks a top up could be virtually wiped out by the accrued standing  charges and if there is debt repayment accruals as well you can kiss the top up goodbye.
