Uncle O Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello, I have recently purchased a house for the first time and want to sort out my gas and electric. I think the previous tenants used N power and British Gas. Now I have taken meter readings and tried ringing up the suppliers but the automated machines wont let me progress the phone call without my account / reference number. On the website they say things like "the reference number will be on your bill". I don't have a bill because I have just moved in. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I wait for a bill to come in the post? Kind Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You will need to set up an account with them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will tell you the supplier and give you your MPRN number. ELECTRICITY SUPPLY - Call your local electricity distribution company. You should ask for their Meter Point Administration Service (MPAS). If you are not sure who the company is, contact Energywatch Head Office telephone 0845 9 06 07 08 and offices throughout the UK.
