Posted - 02 June 2008 : 23:45:02 I was decalred bankrupt on 10/4/08. I have been paying my gas and electricity every quarter which worked out at approx £120per quarter EACH.I have just been sent 'revised due to estimated' bills.I only moved into the property july 07 (less than a yr) its only a 1 bed flat yet they now claim i owe £1,200 arrears electric and £900gas!!!britishgas for you i guess.How do i go about this? i have already had pre payment meters fitted AFTER my bankruptcy as part of my own personal budget plans now they are taking £10 elec arrears off of it and £8 gas.do i just tell them im bankrupt and give them the name of the OR office dealing? or do i have to inform the OR? Trust me I'd rather not have to speak to my OR ever again ,I just want to get on with my life!
thanks nikki

Posted - 03 June 2008 : 11:26:16 Hi Whatever,
Effectively, this debt was incurred prior to your BR and so should be able to be written off. I know it can sometimes be unpleasant, but I would suggest making the OR aware. Given your description of the property etc, I would claim it was an "inadvertance" that you forgot to disclose this on your SOA and take things from there.
