Hi All

 

I need some help/advice on my rights with British Gas Business.

 

I have a small business (Pub) and have ran up a gas bill of £1100 over the last 4 years.

 

I recently (about 4 weeks ago) paid £500 off this bill leaving a total of £640 now owing.

 

However in the meantime British Gas Business applied for a warrant of entry and successfully entered my business while I was not there and removed the gas meter.

 

They now say I have to pay the £640 owing for gas used, £300 to re-install the meter and £1000 bond which will all need paid up front before I can have the gas meter installed again.

 

The £1000 bond will be credited back in 12 months if I keep payments up.

 

Obviously I cannot afford this as my business is almost on its knees but I also desperatly need heating and hot water.

 

My question is

 

'if I pay my bill (£640) so I owe them nothing,

can I just go to another supplier as I am out of contract with British Gas as I've already broke their T&C's.

 

By saying to me I have to pay this bond and installation fee they are assuming I'm staying with them, but I want them out !

 

Please help. What are my rights ??

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
