So whose gas bill have I been paying?

[eledonecirrhosa]

I'm trying to switch gas suppliers. But the number on my gas meter is registered to a gas meter on a house on the other side of the city, and according to the National Gas Database, my street doesn't exist!

WT actual F?

Potentially interesting legal issues there...

The physical meter has the right number, but with an S tagged on the end. I've sent a photo of it to the new suppliers.

I've contacted the old suppliers, and they assure me they've been billing the right address - it is just the wrong postcode tagged to my address on the National Gas Database. They have put in a request to have that altered to the correct postcode. That apparently takes 5 working days!

That's reassuring overall.
