Since his death the power company has been a nightmare to deal with
My grandfather GD died suddenly of a stroke in March at the age of 91. Until that point he’d been fairly healthy and living alone in a house he had owned all his life, and renting a small workshop to store tools from his career as an engineer.
His electricity bills were extremely high because the house is draughty. However, he had not used the workshop for several years, so he should only have been paying standing charges. He asked several times to have the power to it disconnected but was fobbed off with a number of different reasons.
