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.

    I was given an EICR to carry out: firstly the key was at an estate agent that involved more cost unquoted for, that the owner refused to pay. When I arrived at the flat, there was a prepayment meter there with no credit, this meant no lighting and more importantly ......... no Zs: this could have been estimated but the owner now wanted me to top up the meter at a post office! I just walked away and returned the key. I have now doctored my quotes.
