Electricity, water, gas & internet

Prepare a holder change, connection, provider switch, closure or billing enquiry.

Prepare one service and one request at a time. This dossier is not a contract, cancellation or complaint submission. The supplier or local water service confirms conditions and evidence; no provider is selected and no bank details are collected here.

Procedure in detail

Documents to prepare

  • Latest bill/contract, tariff and service address; keep the service identifier in your own file for the supplier.
  • Proof of occupancy/ownership and holder authority where requested; provide identity/payment details only through the supplier's verified channel.
  • Dated meter readings or equipment record, photos, desired effective date and prior case references.
  • A written comparison of standing charges, usage prices, extra services, term, exit costs and connection costs.

Steps in order

  1. 1Identify the actual holder, service point and requested change.
  2. 2Confirm whether this is a holder change, new connection, transfer, switch, closure or complaint; these are different requests.
  3. 3Request the exact documents, costs, effect on existing terms and service dates in writing.
  4. 4Check the offer and any added maintenance or insurance services; approve only the intended request.
  5. 5Submit through the provider's confirmed channel and save the complete request and reference.
  6. 6Coordinate access, installation or meter readings; ask how service continuity and old-account closure will be handled.
  7. 7Verify the effective date and first/final bill, and follow up discrepancies using the reference.

After submitting

  • Keep the confirmation, readings and final settlement together.
  • Track any complaint response and the correct consumer escalation route.
  • Check that unwanted additional services and recurring charges were addressed explicitly.
