  • british gas and the unexpected default

    hello all

    so my story is i left a previous address back in 2009 (well was thrown out by my ex wife)

    i sent a letter to all the utilities saying i had left and my forwarding address

    now a few months back a default popped up on the cra's for british gas for over £1000 from 2010

    so i rang british gas and settled the debt as i didnt want it on my file

    i asked british gas to remove the default as they had not sent any bills or default notice to my new address they said someone would contact me

    later they contacted me through there indian call centre and said no

    obviously i wasnt happy so i sent a sar and i have now got it back and surprise surprise no letter from me with new address and no default notice and some other spurious accusations

    my questions are

    do they have to issue a default notice

    also can they discuss my account with my ex if her name isnt on it

    and why did it take over 2 years for a default from 2010 to appear on my credit file

    i am looking for some way to have this removed as i genuinely had no clue it was in default as i recieved no information about outsanding money it would also appear most of the £1000 is in charges too

    any help or advice is appreciated
