I am wondering if Bord Gais can expect me to pay an extra €550 to get my Gas turned back on? We had a gas bill of approx €1160 to pay and admitedly have been putting it off until other bills had been cleared. We got a letter about three weeks ago advising that the gas was going to be turned off so I contacted their credit control dept to make some sort of agreement. I told them I had made a pymnt of €170 that day and that I would be making pymnts of €100 per week until it was cleared. They would not discuss the account with me because I am not the account holder (my husband is) so told me to get him to contact them to get my name on the account to they can discuss with me. Unfortunately he forgot to do this and my meter has been turned off since last week. My husband contacted them and they said they wanted the balance of €960 upfront plus Approx €150 re-connection fee PLUS another €400 security. That's about €1500 in total!!! Can they demand this before my meter is turned back on?
