[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] We had one better than that. One day, several years ago, we got a letter say our gas and electric was being switched to London Electicity at our request. Er, no. So we phoned up and disputed it. They then provided a copy of our sign-up form, supposedly signed by a Mr. Steve Wife'smaidenname. What we think happened is, a door-to-door called, I told him no, he then peeked in our letterbox to get a surname (he may even have found out my first name, but mis-heard it as "Steve", it happens quite a lot). We went to the Office of the Energy Regulator, lodged a complaint, LE backed down in a hurry and we got an apologetoic letter and a �100 cheque from the MD of LE. I don't know how many other people got that treatment, but not longer after LE were fined MILLIONS by the government for fraudulent sign-ups. I now have fun with these guys. Not long after we movedinto our current house, a guy called from SWEB energy, He blithely walked though our gate, along thr path, opened the outer door, stood in the porch and knocked on our inner door. I stormed out. He got as far as "Hello, I'm from-" when I roared "HOW DARE YOU WALK INTO MY HOUSE?! GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY!!!" My parents were visiting, my Dad saw this exchange and said I really scared the guy. Good. There's one amusing result of the LE fiasco. We were left in a limbo state of having gas and electricity, but our supplier was a bit nebulous. The one we thought we had said we'd asked to move to another one, and this other one also said we had asked to move to them (which we again denied). So, when we moved out of that property, it was after having paid no gas or electric for two years. Even better, when unpacking at our new place I found an agreement signed by my wife to move to that new, other supplier! From, strangely, even before I met her let alone moved in. [/QB][/QUOTE]
