Stop Paying For Electricity, Gas, and Water - Data Subject Access Request - DFIN DSAR Solutions

Utilities (water, gas, and electric) are supplied by the National Grid and cannot be cut-off. The National Grid have a contract with the government and they will not breach that contract. We FUND the national grid though every single thing we pay taxes on. Income tax, food, oil, shopping - we ALREADY pay for it.

A billing company cannot cut off your electric, gas, or water without court action because they don’t supply it. Energy companies try to overcome this by installing prepay meters and smart meters. If you have a smart energy meter in your home the supplier could potentially disconnect your supply remotely without needing to access the meter. The gas and electricity meters are not owned by the billing company, they only have the serial number on record, so you can pay an electrician to remove the smart meter and have your own analogue meter fitted. If you are not using THEIR meters, they can NOT apply to the court for a warrant as it is your property and no longer theirs. The second their meter is removed, they’ll see you’re not using them as a third party so that will stop any contract you have with them.

Energy and water companies provide metering and billing services and are committing fraud if they do not have a contract with the customer signed by an authorised signatory on behalf of the company. This is covered by section 44 of the Companies Act 2006.

Section 4(2) of the Fraud Act 2006 covers fraud by abuse of position when the billing company deliberately omits the authorised signature from the contract. They cannot legally sign it because they don’t supply the water/electricity/gas so they cannot make a contract with you.

I’ve been seriously thinking of doing this… would you just cancel direct debits, or write something? I have only a water meter, don’t want them cutting that off. No smart meters for gas and electricity. Thank you 🙏

I can’t find the templates does anyone have a link please
If the meters don’t belong to the energy companies, as you say and I believe too, why do we need to remove and replace them? Does anyone know, please, because I’ve yet to find a definitive answer. When I bought my house, there was nothing in the paperwork that indicated I was buying everything except the meter. Otherwise, I’m all in favour of this. Thanks
I'm fairly new to this myself but check out thepeopleslawyeruk.com and peacekeepers.org.uk for templates and advice

I'm sure if you stopped paying the bills they will cut you off and take you to court.
