Default Re: stolen electric

The problem is that the guy next I door moved in at the same time and I haven't received a bill as yet. I'm due one anytime now and what i thought would be normal for the bodyshop obviously isn't.

The police at the indoor allotment said that they would provide me something to say that the electric had been tapped.

I haven't got a clue now where to start!

Probably be an idea to make an official report of theft to the bobbies? Maybe if you can have a chat with one who's at the scene and get a name of someone in charge of the investigation, a crime number etc might be helpful, also report it to the leccy company and after that it may well be a case of waiting for a bill and arguing the toss then.

surely tho the electric company would have to take the gardener to court?

I can't see how anybody could work out what I've used, they can only estimate

I would start with your electrical supplier. Tell them the situation. Have you checked your meter to calculate your likely bill?

Call your supplier and tell them that your neighbour has abstracted electricity from your supply. I'd do this sooner rather than later. Give them the crime reference number you would have been given (depending on your area, you might have a victim care card which will have it written on. Alternatively, call 101 and talk it through with the operator to see if they can track it down for you or have someone call you back) and then follow what your supplier prompts you to do.

get a crime number, get a letter from the bobbies..

Write to your supplier and explain everything and what you want the outcome to be.

Always write, give them all the facts.

They cannot over charge you for your electric by law, so a fair assessment will need to be made which you will need to agree too.

Best of luck, and how the hell did you not smell it?

I guess over the legal paint fumes

Why should the electricity company have to pay for it? If any other goods were stolen from your premises, that you had bought on credit, you'd go to your insurance company, not the business that sold you the goods in the first place trying to get out of paying the invoice. If it's gone through your meter it follows in my mind that you should have to pay for it. I'd check your insurance.

Have you read your meter yet since this happened?
If not, do it NOW!
Then ( boring I know ) read it regularly to establish a pattern of your use for future negotiations.

Yeah probably.
Best of luck to them. Entirely not your problem.

By the way don't pay the electric bill until this is at least halfway sorted as electric companies really don't like giving money back.

Hah, they almost never give money, they just give discount off future bills.
