We recently purchased an old house which is connected to gas. The people before us had been connected , so we just changed the name on the account (i.e no break in service to the house)
I set up the account in Jan and set up a direct debit straight away (first payment came out yesterday). Even though I set up a direct debit, Bord Gais are looking for a €200 deposit as security.
They said that I get the deposit back when I close the account. I said that that I could be at least 5-10 years and maybe even more, that I was unhappy to give them €200 now to get it back in 10 years.
Has anyone experienced this? No other company (Eircom, ESB, NTL) looked for this sort of deposit
