No call as of 1pm.

I phoned again, and got Jenny in Customer Service.

Apparently they're blaming Scottish Power, for not forwarding on the final reading from Dec 2, and she's going to call a supervisor and the central clearing point for Electricity billing and sort it out. I remind her that I'm going on holiday on Friday and I'd be really unhappy to come home to a red bill and a snotty letter from their collections department.

[Update 1:20pm]

While typing this up, it occurs to me that if Scottish Power didn't forward the final reading, then where the **** did PowerGen get the meter reading for the final bill they sent me when we transferred, since it's clearly marked on the bill as being a customer reading (i.e. we supplied them with the reading).

Ho hum. I phone Jenny again, and point this out. We discuss this a little more, and she concedes that, indeed, something seems to be screwy here, and promises to call me back.

[Update 1:35pm]

She calls back. Trumpets sound, birds fall stunned and dead from trees and heavenly choirs sing Hallelujah. It appears to be a mistake on PowerGen's part (now there's a thing): the bill has been cancelled. And I will receive a letter confirming this: I point out that "by Friday" would be nice.

Lets see what happens now.

Possibly time for a recorded delivery letter detailing (with full references) the discussion and what was agreed, and politely mentioning that any further correspondence required in this matter will be from your solicitor.
