Some stand up for others less fortunate than themselves.......its called having a caring nature...society at it best is never a selfish society

28 days ain't gonna do **** all. For something like this to work mass non payment would need to start now and go on for months. They could hardly disconnect millions of households.

I still haven't received anything from British Gas since my supplier went bust last year. Suspect they're waiting for 12 months to be up before hitting me with the maximum for the year.

Check out the ofgem rules on back billing. If your energy supplier hasn’t correctly billed you within 12 months of you using the energy. Then they can’t ask you for it.

does that still apply in a case like Libbys where from what he said he was moved almost by Govt edict to BG

I know that feeling lol

Spare a thought for all the small cannabis farmers out there trying to do the best they can to get by with street price levels staying the same whilst increased electricity bills have skyrocketed.

If BG haven’t correctly billed him after 12 months, then as far as I understand it the ofgem back billing rules come into play and he wouldn’t have to pay it

 

[BobbyD]

It will if it affects some meaningful change.

In the meantime you’ll just have to go round to schlems for some cold beans on bread

Yeah i think this is where your problem is mate

if i was Libby i would want that confirming by ofgem first but since they are meant to have contacted he may be on a winner .

Nothing’s gonna change with that kind of attitude ya cynical b’tard

You can go onto the Ofgem website and see the conditions around back billing.

I think there’s even a template letter to send to energy suppliers

yeah and that doesn't mention these cases when ofgem just dump you on a supplier .

I would imagine the 12 months start from the moment you enter into a contract with a supplier. So in Libby's case, 12 months since he was bumped over to BG

So the plan is to just delay paying your bill for a month?

they still get your money in the end though?

Initially for a month. Then extended until somebody blinks
