Hi, I am looking for a bit of advice on electricity meters, or lack thereof! We bought a small one bed flat in 2004 and we discovered that it didn't have an electricity meter we could find. This wasn't flagged up at the time of sale so it took us a few weeks before we made this discovery. At the time we thought this might be because some years earlier the communal hallway had been done out by the council. So we phoned the local council who said this was under the jurisdiction of the electricity companies. However on calling around a few of them each of them said we weren't their customer and we should contact the council if this was due to their refurbishing. So ultimately no body came out and no body followed this up. As a side note, some years prior to our moving in our flat had been "built" as a once bigger flat was split into two. Therefore there was a bit of confusion over our address which took some time to be sorted out as well. When we talked to our neighbour she also said she had no meter and had made efforts previously but to no avail. Anyway as time marched in we never did anything more about this issue, which on reflection was a bad move on our part. We now rent this flat out to a tenant who recently informed us that a gentleman from Schneider Electric Energy, on behalf of Scottish Power, had been to look at the electricity supply in our building (there are 8 flats in total in our building) due to a power outage. I doing that he had asked to see our electricity meter and she of course informed him that there wasn't one. He then asked for the landlords, ourselves, to get in touch. Whilst we are relieved that this issue might finally be sorted out, it has always been a huge source of guilt for us, we are also terrified as to what might happen. Given that we purchased our flat in 2004 we have no actual evidence of our contacting the electricity companies in those initial few months. Any advice as to how we should best go about rectifying this, including any legal titbits or advice, would be very gratefully received. We would be especially interested in hearing from those who have perhaps had similar things happen to them in the past, how you managed this situation and the outcome. We intend to get in touch with the gentlemen in the next few days but wanted to do a bit of research beforehand so we knew best how to handle it - forewarned is forearmed and all that! Thanks in advance
