  3. http://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/ They are a DNO for the east of England. http://www.energynetworks.org/info/faqs/electricity-distribution-map.html - nothing dodgy about them in my experience. I am an electrician and do contracting work for UKPN. The British Gas man reporting an issue before the meter is plausible. There is a scheme running at the moment where old/potentially dangerous supplies/equipment is reported by those involved in metering etc. We often get called to jobs by UKPN because British Gas Metering has been along, condemned it and won't work on it until the defect is repaired (meter changes are a common cause).

  4. Hi and welcome to CAG. I have moved your thread to the PPI forum. If these accounts were paid off more than six years ago then you may have trouble getting any data on them. Usually the forst thing to do would be to send a Subject Access Request (SAR) to each lender. There is a template in the CAG library, the link to which is at the top of every CAG page on green. The statutory fee is £10 and they will have 40 days to comply.

  6. Hi there, letter affixed. You need to put your name where there are XXX's in the second paragraph. When you print out the letter make sure your printer is set for A4 paper (not the default Letter size) so it all stays on one page. Send the letter by recorded delivery - keep a copy for yourself and staple the recorded del receipt to the letter. Check on the royalmail website a few days after posting and print off the signed for receipt - keep safe with your copy of the letter.
