Bills

[Alone97]

How do people change the name on house hold bills if the named person has left the property and refuses to call them to change details?

Sorry not an aibu just need some help ASAP.

You don’t! You need to have an account in your name, and they close the other account.

Set up new accounts!

Literally that you say your the new owner/tenant/bill payer this is your starting meter reading please take my money

And forward there bills on to them

You need to set up a new account in your name.

I had an issue getting my exh off the council tax. In the end I had to give them his new address and they sent letters to him and my house and his new address to confirm. Such a pain.

What about things like Sky that are still under contract?

Just call them and explain and they’ll tell you what to do - every company will be different.

Not your contract not your problem just ring up make your own

Just set up everything from scratch, explain they no longer live there.

Forward on any bills or if you don’t have their address send them back to the company as ‘not known at this address’.

The existing Sky contract is between Sky and the contract holder.

You signing up to Sky is a completely separate issue, even if the current holder is your ex partner. But whoever they are, it's up to them if they want to waste money paying for a service they no longer use.

Just choose what you want (look on MSE for deals) and sign up.
