Exactly that! I responded to them as "the legal occupier" the previous bill was in a name I have no knowledge of...

Interesting, its a converted industrial unit... I pay council tax.... but it used to be a works unit, like most of the units on the site.. I did take one yes. Thanks Andy!

Hello, Just joined this wonderful place hope I can be of some assistance to others too, here is a problem I am facing. I recently moved into a properly just before Christmas I've been sent a bill from Haven power for £4000+ the bill is not in my name, obviously a previous tenant has ran up a bill and left.. . I tried speaking to them on the phone but they are telling me they will access my apartment THIS WEEK (well their agents face2face) to collect the debt and put a smart meter in... . I have no account with Haven Power and also, just renting the space from the lease holder. ..I have a young baby and I'm rather worried about what my rights are here.. I sent a letter to tell them this, via recorded delivery, they have responded with some legal documents saying it doesnt matter if I'm not the person who owes them money, they will still access the property... Any ideas? Thanks Alan
