The frustrated British Gas customer claims she got three letters in one day from EDF demanding outstanding payment even though she isn’t their customer anymore.<\/p>\n
A widow claims she has been \u201cgoing crazy\u201d with frustration after receiving constant payment letters from an energy firm who she is not a customer with.<\/p>\n
Valerie Clemson, 76, from Conwy, North Wales had previously been with EDF but switched to British Gas when she moved home.<\/p>\n
After paying all her EDF bills in full she was shocked to receive a letter of outstanding payments with them.<\/p>\n
She insisted: “I’ve never owed a penny to anyone in my life.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mrs Clemson\u00a0told North Wales Live\u00a0that EDF told her “Sorry you’ve left us” but then “the letters and bills started coming” to her new home.<\/p>\n
One bill dated April 10 demanded \u00a31,263.83 for “your gas”.<\/p>\n
Whilst investigating the issue, an EDF spokesperson said they were sorry to hear about her problems and that her claim was \u201ca priority\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ms Clemson continued: \u201cThey (EDF) are hounding me, saying I owe them money but I’m paying by direct debit to British Gas.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> <\/p>\n \u201cI contacted EDF and they said they were sorry yet the demands for payment did not stop.<\/p>\n “I thought ‘Thank the Lord’ but two days later I got a bill! It’s like nobody speaks to people in other departments. I’m going crazy with it all.”\u00a0<\/p>\n An EDF spokesperson said:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re sorry to hear about the problems Mrs Valerie Clemson has been facing and we\u2019re investigating this as a priority.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
