Utility supplier gone bust.

Of course, it also gives the energy company more control - they could potentially cut you off via the smart meter - or so I have seen people say so make your own mind up

Or maybe read the relevant legislation on it. Energy companies need to give at least 7 days notice before cutting you off, and that's after they have offered you a range of ways to settle your outstanding bill - to get to this point will have taken several months. Or are you suggesting energy companies might just cut you off for a laugh?

Moved from Bulb (to EDF) only last month. Luckily they paid me back what was sitting in the account.

I'm certain the Bulb collapse was announced last week. I remember hearing it on the radio?

Balance is protected in anycase, sounds like bulb customers are now going to be government customers on the same tariff, so I hope your move was onto a cheaper rate.

Collapse unless bailed out. That didn't happen and it went into administration today.

Saw this on the BBC this morning - I'm with them at the moment so immediately noted the gas & electric meter readings and submitted them through the Bulb website and took back-up photos as well. I've got about £50 credit with them as it stands.
