I moved out of my old property, ref: 420 xxx xxxx, on the 1/7/03.
I gave a final meter reading for the property, and moved on to
my new address. I recieved a final bill letter to my new address
and presumed the account closed.
This was not the case. I recieved a letter in November stating
I owed 97.55 for useage at my property, I rang and was told it
was a mistake, and it would be rectified by a letter to my new
address stating all was complete. But, all I got was the same
later, asking for the money, I followed the same procedure as
before, with the same answer, a letter would arrive with closure
on the account. But, This time I got a demanding letter, with
the same amount outstanding, and a threat of further action.
I have rang up the OSEDEBT team, explained I am not happy, this
was met with a five minute wait on the phone, only to be told,
An internal mail has been sent within British Gas, that will take
between 7 - 21 days for a letter to be with me,that will state
the closure of the account. And as for the demaning letters, I
am "to ignore them!".
The complaint procedure on the web page is incomplete and will
not send mails. No seems to want to take ownership of this issue.
