It does seem very odd/unlikely - unless, perhaps, it was a last straw after a protracted period of non-payment. However, if that were the case, I would have thought they would have removed at least some of the installation within the house as well as cutting the supply outside.
This is what I can't work out. Surely if the electricity co were owed enough money to warrant digging up the road to disconnect the power they would have that on record and want me to pay it when I phoned them up asking to be reconnected.
I'm sure this is a very silly question, particularly occurring so late in the discussion, but can we take it that you are absolutely certain than the supply has been disconnected?!
I'm fairly sure. I've phoned up various electricity suppliers all of whom have told me that it's off. Also everything is turned on at the fuseboard but no sign of life at sockets or lighting circuits.
That sounds fairly conclusive - but just thought I'd check!
It does. If they somehow managed to get access, the could have simply pulled their fuse - I think my money would be on that. Do you have any idea when the disconnection happened? Do you have any idea what route the supply would take to the propertyand (unlikely though it would seem that they would have done this) any sign of recent digging?!
Does that mean there is a possibility that the fuse has been removed and the carrier replaced?
