That is some feat - I thought the whole point of pre-pay was it cut you off when the money ran out - a sort of 'shilling for the gas meter' type of meter for the 21st century without sending the man in to collect the coins. Equally it is probably only 6 months to a year of consumption, and dwarfed by the cost of holding up the letting out process, so the decision makes commercial sense .
I had a pre-pay meter at a flat that was provided for work. One got £5 grace and then it cut off. After one period of sick leave, it had run out and the fridge had de-frosted. Thawed fish fingers don't half stink after a while! ?
The property had been vacant for a few months before it was handed back to the landlady. The meter had accumulated £40-odd of debt due to the standing charge. Perhaps in the case which Sparkingchip mentions, the property had been vacant for a considerable amount of time?
