when my boyfriend was living with his ex-wife, had a power supply in his name, as far as he is aware is signed a direct debit mandate at the time for the money to go out monthly, but as usually in their house hold his wife controlled all that was going on, it seems that eventually she gained access to his bank account and frauduently cancelled the payments and took the money herself. So therefore the enegy bills added up with-out his knowledge, this started in 2002 and continued until 2004. Nobody contacted him or went to see him face to face to his knowledge if they did then they were diverted by his wife. Since she kicked hi m out of the property in 2004 and he had his mail re-directed he has since found out about the non-payments and debts run up.
Powergen have been demanding money and have passed it on to different debt collection agencys. we have requested copy bills for a very long time but have always been sent summaries with no meter readings, on our last request we have received a summary of the last 3 months bill that he was supposidly there. This only gives estimated readings. He does not have any final meter readings as she expelled him from the house whilst he was out and has not allowed him back in since. It seems that all the bills may be estimates and the final bill. He has not admitted the debt to be his, as we do not believe it is.
Could somebody please advise me how we come off over this, as we have to act as they are threatening court action
