Hello Michal
Thank you for contacting us. I can see that this account is for an electricity
prepay meter account for 2 st Judes square that has been in your name since
01/06/2017. I can see in your messages that you have moved out of this property
and set up a new account. Customers can have multiple accounts and properties
with us. So we do have customers to contact us directly and request to close
the account when they move out. we didn't get a request to close the account
and the new tenants didn't contact us take over the account so the account
remained in your name. The annual top up statement to you was due to be issued
on 04/05 so the system has for a meter read so that we could accurately
calculate how much electricity you have used in the past year, while on prepay
meters meter reads are not require we do ask at the annual statement to make
the statement as accurate as possible. I can also see on your thread that you
mentioned cutting off the gas. SSE Airtricity Gas NI cover gas in Norther
Ireland, their gas accounts are separate to our electricity accounts. If you
had an gas account with them I would advise that you call them on 03459005253
to discuss the gas account with team.
As you have advised us that you are no longer in the property the account for 2
st Judes is in the process of closing and a final statement will be issued to
you. Letters will be sent to the property asking the new occupiers to contact
us to set up their own account.

Ha! Perfect! That explains A lot.
The fact that I did not receive the same e-mail in 2019 did not really help.
[e-mail history screenshot attached]
Gas / Electricity is just my mistake as for me as a customer it's SSE == sorts
out the stuff.
Ok if the new occupiers won't get the letter for whatever reason what will
happen then?
-----
We will send multiple letters to the property so as to make sure that new
occupiers get them if the letters do come back from the post as undelivered we
will work with NIE networks to see how we can contact the occupiers. As its an
electricity prepay meter the account will run as normal until NIE network want
to disconnect the property for safety , it is the customer responsible to
contact us as we cant put an account in a persons name without speaking to them
and NIE Networks cant have a live electricity meter without someone taking
responsibility for it. NIE networks do give customers several months to contact
us before this is considered. Ourselves and SSE Airtricity Gas NI operate
separately, we have our own separate websites,
https://airtricitygasni.com/at-home/, and https://sseairtricity.com/uk/home/,
customers get billed separately by each one too. There is no crossover between
us.
