Greetings Chris, why don't you and your wife issue "A Notice of Disassociation" with the Credit Reference Agencies, when I first looked at my credit record I was linked to over sixty people and 16 addresses. After I disassociated all addresses I never lived in and people that I had no financial link with, all that remained was myself and my current address, although it took almost a year to filter through all the CRA's as I only registered with two CRA's.

Greetings I too am in a similar situation with being transfered from Peoples Energy to Centrica (British Gas, Scottish Gas) however the only emails that seams to work is via CEO-email, for Chris O'Shea and Matthew Bateman. Do not pay by Direct Debit or Debit / Credit card, I pay via standing order that way I am in control how much they can get, because Centrica have abused the Direct Debit for many customers with fantasy numbers in the thousands per month already. As for complaints there are plenty on Trustpilot: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.britishgas.co.uk?search="bust" As for me I have had a final bill from Peoples Energy 16 Dec 21 which is wrong in several areas, also a bill from Centrica which was in my late mothers name who has been dead more than 5 years and is also wrong in similar areas, still no credit has transfered even as today. Centrica treat all customers with the same distrust and their estimate bills are given more trust than actual photos of your meters, dealing with the executive office is a little better as they phone and email is returnable that will be answered, but overall they closed down my complaint without actually doing anything that was in their power to do. Competition is currently dead so switching to another supplier will cost even more for fixed or variable contracts if you can switch at all!

Greetings ladies and Gents, in the last week I have made a very substantial donation to Consumer Action Group Forums, firstly I did not donate because CAG had helped me recover money recently. Also since Carona Virus 19 hit millions of people have either had a cut in their pay or lost their job completely and are less likely to donate money even if it's just a penny or a pound! I myself lost all working age benefits in 2019, I have HB and DHP and I have managed to survive on just £480 and still save around £170 a month, even with an alcohol problem, as of tomorrow I can now claim Universal Credit without the SDP Gateway rejecting my claim, but will I? Probally not! I had donated £100 to CAG around 14 years ago and now feel it's time to donate again So I donated £600, plus when I donate money I get a high feeling that lasts for up to a week afterwards like I am drunk without drinking, if you can please donate even if it's just a penny!

Greetings I been a user since 2006 and still not introduced myself, basically it is not required, you can start with a question or reply to someone else's question, however all user advice offered should be taken with a pinch of salt as sometimes the reply does not help resolve the issue, other times it's spot on!

Greetings the only thing I can advise it to either disconnect your Gas and Electric by teminating your contract or get them out to cap-off your meters, but there is a fee for an engineer come out and cap-off your meters, the same again when you move back. Also the only thing I see in there T's and C's is if you owe them money for unpaid bills is they can charge you 2.5% above Bank of England's base rate each day as it accrues. If you terminate there may be early exit fees in addition to energy used and standing charges on all fuels, and of course 5% Vat on top if you are a retail consumer or 20% Vat on top if you are a business consumer.

Greetings Jase, the easiest way to get rid of DCA'S is tell them the account is in dispute. You should always take readings of your meters at least once a month, I tend to a reading on the 2nd of every calendar month, then I work out exactly how much that energy cost. You could take a meter reading today and another around the same time tomorrow, then subtract yesterdays reading from today gives you your usage then multiply that by 31 this gives an estimate of a 31 day month, and do the same for all fuels. You could switch energy provider, however it will cost you £30 per fuel and Flow Energy may block your request if you are £500+ in arrears.

Greetings Jase, do you know if the plan was fixed or variable? If it is fixed they cannot change it mid-term! Debt Collection Agencies usually send's you a threat-o-grams, full of words like "If you don't pay us we may visit your property, we could get you Arrested, you might loose your possetions", DCA's have less powers than your next door neighbor.

Greetings RMW I too recently had ESA WCA and went from Support group with SDP to 0 points in all categories and Fit To Work. I have been Mentally handicapped since birth, had physical disabilties since 1995 and I am now an alcoholic too. Apparently the Decision Maker stated that they tried to phone me on Saturday 02 Mar 19, but failed to get an answer. Wednesday 06 Mar 19 I received benefit failure letter with ESA65 report, I checked 1471 and the last person that phoned was number withheld Thursday 28 Feb 19 at 08:45AM, also there was a line that "Mr ASI, she walked 5 miles to see her GP". 07 Mar 19 Letter for ESA85 medical report sent. 08 Mar 19 Sickline sent up to 31 May 19. 22 Mar 19 MR Reqested! 25 Mar 19 Support letter sent. 26 Mar 19 More support letters sent. I also request the following reports: LT54 2019, ESA85 2019 (Already asked for it 07 Mar 19 in a Letter), ESA113 2019, ESA65B 2019 LT54 2015, ESA85 2015, ESA113 2015, ESA65B 2015, Plus any additional 3rd party information provided in 2015! As far as I am aware the Decision Maker only used my ESA50 2018 and ESA85 2019 the work of fiction to come to a decision that I am fit to work!

Greetings I too am an ex-Iresa customer, fortunately for me the transfer to Octopus Energy went without issue, however my Direct Debit is to Iresa is still active and was paid on 10th of the month, the extra Direct Debit to Octopus Energy on 20 August never happened, and finally after the switch was completed to Octopus Energy they said that my Iresa account was shut-down, when in fact my Iresa on-line account is still active, even today. Why don't you log-in to your Iresa Energy online account and grab the data!

Ofgem Investigation into Iresa Limited has now concluded on the 27th of Jully 2018 with Ofgem shutting down Iresa Limited. Iresa Limited will be ceasing to trade. Ofgem, the energy regulator, is appointing a new supplier for its customers. Customers need not worry, their supplies are secure and credit balances are protected. Ofgem's advice is not to switch, but to sit tight and wait until the new supplier has been appointed. This will help make sure that the process of handing customers over to a new supplier, and honouring credit balances, is as hassle free for customers as possible. Customers can find support and advice from Ofgem: https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/consumers/household-gas-and-electricity-guide/extra-help-energy-services/ofgem-safety-net-if-your-energy-supplier-goes-out-business Or alternatively if they need additional support they can call Citizens Advice on 03454 04 05 06 or email them via the webform, or get in touch through Ofgem�s facebook or twitter feed @ofgem https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/consumers/household-gas-and-electricity-guide/extra-help-energy-services/ofgem-safety-net-if-your-energy-supplier-goes-out-business What happens next?

Do you not mean " have an audit to correct the mistake."!

Greetings how did the account get to defaulted in just three days after the account was created?

Firstly your winfall does not take effect on your current Income Related benefits until you have had it for six months.

Carl2017 It should be relatively simple to do a debit card Chargeback, however some banks are totally clueless of what a debit card Chargeback is! http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/how-do-i-use-chargeback According to their fillings they have only been trading under Gas Superstore limited for 20 years (10 Mar 1997), but could have been a sole trader prior to that date. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03330542
