Which does happen, my daughter got her electricity for nothing for
several years for this reason. She repeatedly tried to find who her
supplier was to no avail. As a result she *didn't* get a huge
backdated bill when it was finally sorted out because only one year's
worth was chargeable.

I am toying with the idea of getting rid of my gas central heating, converting to 100% electric and so I will pay NO energy charges at all!
