Not sure if this is the right forum.
We moved into a second hand property 10 weeks ago, it was a derelict property that a developer had renovated.
When we moved in I contacted ESB with regards to transferring the ESB account into our names. I gave them the address of the property, previous owners current address and the meter number, 10 weeks later and numerous phone calls to ESB and they are refusing to acknowledge that they are supplying the property as they do not recognise the meter number. Today I rang the previous owner and he told me that he had the exact same difficulties , when he was renovating the property ESB came out and erected a new ESB pole and line and a new meter box, and then never billed him. He said he gave up contacting them after 3 months. The ESB supply was connected to the property 18 months ago and he was never billed for it.
I contacted them again today and told them that there is an ESB supply to the property, that the previous owner has not been billed for 18 months supply and that I wanted it resolved as I certainly was not paying an 18 month bill. ESB response " Sorry we have no record of an ESB supply to that property, try Airtricity."
So what would you do.. , say ye Happy days free Electricity??
