Pregnant with no gas heating

[firsttimemummyd]

I moved into a new property on Monday 27th January I am 8 months pregnant and have been trying to get EDF to sort the gas prepayment meter that had been left in debt by the previous tennant. They are basically ignoring me!! It took 48 hours to get the electricity sorted.

I only want to be able to use the meter in the short term to get moved in and decorated and then move to a proper supplier and get rid if the prepayment meters.

Can they legally leave me with no heating when 8 months pregnant?

On another note, what us the point of prepayment if you allow people to run up £20 plus worth of debt ???!!! Appalling customer service from this shower

Mine goes to £15 emergency and I regularly have to took up £20+ to get it on so yes it is possible. Saying that yes they can leave you without gas heating as when my boiler broke (I’m council) all the offered was bringing around an electric heater and I have 4 kids including a 2 year old. So either buy an electric heater or ask for one on a Facebook site plenty of people give them away

Top* not took

My boiler died during the Beast from the East a couple of years ago. I was without central heating for a few days. Actually I was fine. One fan heater, I moved it around the house as required. No problem.

I forgot only people with money to spare could have children.

well, they SHOULD and not be so selfish as bringing a child in the world when they cannot afford to give them the best possible life.

The rest of us manage to have only the children they could afford, yes it would be great to be rich and have unlimited choices, but when it's not the case, you put the need of the children before yours.

Children ARE a luxury.

To everyone who said OP isn’t classed as vulnerable, they are. Anyway with a disability, mental or physical illness, people with children under 5 at the property or anyone of pensionable age qualify to go onto their suppliers priority services register.

Which one of those qualifies OP as vulnerable?
