Default Gas disconnected

Hi
I have discovered that my gas supply has been disconnected since I last visited. My 'guest' didn't pay the bill before disappearing. The company is Gas Natural Fenosa. Has anyone had any experience getting re-connected. I will be there soon and would like to try and sort it as soon as.

I don't know how things work in your little patch of Spanish utopia, but in my patch, (depending on how long it's been disconnected) that's not something you'd ever want to allow to happen, because getting it back can be a nightmare. Just paying the bill doesn't necessarily constitute "resolution".

Good luck with that.

I know someone who recently had this problem on Esuri They paid the bill but didn't bother with reconnection as they do not live here.

They went into Cepsa in town and got the boiler converted to bottled gas. I believe it cost about 220euros inc 2 bottles of Gas.

There thinking is that they will not be paying Standing Charges in the future

There is a previous thread where this is discussed at great length. There are cost comparators and conversion costs and IIRC a recommendation for a gas engineer to carry ou the work.

Thanks all. I think I was lucky here. My contact at the bank in Ayamonte made a few calls, paid the outsatnding on my behalf and arranged for reconnection the next day.

You could just imagine that kind of service happening with any of the UK banks couldn't you!!!
