I have moved from a rented house last April and I took a reading from the electric. All was fine, bill paid in full moved into new house.
7 months down the line I received an electric bill for £218.35p from the last address.
I was told by the electric company that the landlord had given a start reading from April 30 and it was not the same as mine. On further enquiry I found that this call was first made in October and I know that the house has/is going through renovation and builders have been in with dehumidifiers etc
Anyway I know he has used electric up until October and took that reading.
I'm told by the electric company that I have to pay the bill and take it up with the landlord! Is this right after our account was closed for so long?
Is this legal even?
