They are legal scammers

They are legal scammers, I don't recommend them for anyone.
I recently moved into a new home and my previous Tenant was with british gas, I literally moved my (Gasand electricity) into a new supplier and still British gas came back to me with a bill which I must pay!!! I wasn't with them at all not even for a day!!Ridiculous!! Plus they are really hard to get in contact to when you call them. Find other suppliers if you don't want to be scammed !!
