Help with GB Energy Debt

[mitsumaui]

Hi all,

Hoping for some advice on this before I take any action on this.

I was in the process of moving away from GB Energy, which completed on the 20th November (just before they ceased trading). I have not had any communication regarding this, as I guess I got 'lost' around the time of them ceasing trading and my supply being moved to a new provider.

Roll on to today, and I have just had an invoice from GB Energy (now supported by Co-operative Energy Ltd), for a debit amount I had on my account of £114.10 - with a payment due date of Jan 29.

What I would like to clarify, is because it's a debt - do I need to pay this, or would this be handled by GB Energy's administrators? There's conflicting information out in the Internet, as 2 sites say that would be handled by their administrator, but ofgem say that Co-Op have taken on the debt?

So is it right that Co-Operative have taken on the debts as well, and that no administrators are involved? I wanted to clarify this before I took any further action with them. I don't have any problem paying the debt, but wanted to make sure that I am liable to pay it, or if I need to find out if there are any administrators who would deal with this.


Thanks in advance for your support!

Re: Help with GB Energy Debt

You pay your outstanding amount to Co-op.
The Ofgem link you posted gives this advice:
Co-operative Energy has made arrangements with GB Energy Supply to take on the management of customer debts, so they will collect any outstanding money you owed to GB Energy Supply. You should contact Co-operative Energy if you have any questions.
