Its only when i asked her some questions that it was clear that she had a bypassed or rigged Gas meter. Now she is worried sick because it was her ex's responsibility to pay any bills and she told me the Gas was the same when they moved in.
Surely this is not her resposibility or fault and she should not be charged with an offence? The house is a Council House and she had no knowledge that she was doing anything Illegal.
What should she do about this. What if she is charged, whats her legal footing? |

That does not nearly give enough information .
What does matter is what the Gas Co. says about it .
Was the issue pre-existing before move in , or after move in ?
Was the Boyfriend paying for Gas , then all the sudden the bills were .00 ?
