Homeowners hit with £7,000 electricity bill … for developer's corner-cutting | Money | The Guardian

Homeowners hit with £7,000 electricity bill … for developer's corner-cutting | Money | The Guardian

When Lynn Burke found a grubby envelope addressed to "The Tenant", she tossed it aside. She is the owner, not a tenant, and this was just more junk mail.
But then her neighbour, who had the same letter, alerted her to the contents. It warned that electricity to their flats would be cut off within a fortnight if the occupiers did not come up with over £7,000.
Understandably, Burke wanted to dismiss it as a vicious scam. None of the homeowners in the North London property, which had been converted into three flats in 2006, could understand the threat. All of them had paid their electricity bills in full, and on time.
