Bungling British Gas sent bailiffs to a dad’s flat four times after he moved in – for an £8,000 bill belonging to a home half a mile away.
The firm, whose owners Centrica reported £3.3 billion profits, bombarded Rowan Purdy, 45, with threats.
But despite the builder having proof the bill was not his, British Gas kept sending debt agents with engineers to force-fit a pre-payment metre he already had.
