Ok, I am hoping I can get some advise really, as I have got my self into a little trouble.

 

The story so far.

 

My gas is with Scottish & Southern, I have burried my head in the sand for over 2 years now, being unable to pay my gas bill, the gas bill now stands at £1,600 give or take a few pence.

 

Yesterday, an engineer from British Gas, working on the authority of Scottish and Southern, removed my gas meter and regulator pipe from the gas meter box outside, capped the main gas inlet off, and posted me a letter stating I had been DISCONNECTED, and must call a certain number to be reconnected.

 

So, I called the number, spoke to a lady in the call centre, she said she refuses point blank to reconnect the gas supply until the entire debt is paid (£1,600), she would not entertain any sort of re-payment plan, as she said this had failed in the past, she refused pre-payment meter as the debt would take many many years to repay.

 

She refused to allow me to switch to a different company, and refused to reconnect me.

 

I am unable to raise £1,600, I am unable to get my gas supply reconnected.

 

I live in this house with my partner (who is 5 months pregnant) and our 2 children, aged 7 and 6.

 

Any ideas on whom I can contact or what my next step may be?

 

Thanks in advance
