I have power of attorney on my elderly mothers eon gas account but it has not included her electricity account with eon. How do I add this for future meter reads etc?

Hi.

I know a little bit about Power of Attorney so I think I can answer this one. Assuming your have a Lasting Power of Attorney which has been Registered with the Office of the Public Guardian and covers Property & Financial matters (which it sounds like you've done), then this should just be a case of setting it up with your mothers electric account and that should get the ball rolling. You'll probably have to contact E.On directly though to set this up as the paperwork will likely be needed to verify your status.

Thanks for the reply. I did phone Eon and their advisor linked the account to me but I think that they only linked the gas account so following your advice I will phone them again next week to link the electric as well.

You may have to write to them confirming this. Phoning in itself legally is not always adequate.
