I can't believe no-one, NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THIS THREAD, made EVEN A SINGLE JOKE about Tagaziel being a Polak living in Germany, getting a dose of 'unwanted gas'.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Two days!
Seconded
This could have been milked, like, I dunno... uh... a dairy cow?
@Tagaziel - Obviously, German gas companies are EVIL (quite unlike the gallant and handsome British gas companies
)
But their "obligation" notwithstanding, in any civilised country you need to have an actual contractual agreement for the "provision of gas to a terminal point", or however it may be called in Deutsch. Without such an agreement you simply can't be supplied nor charged.
Having lived in my in-law's studio, where gas had been cut off and the agreement to supply it terminated, and having personally signed an agreement to connect my apartment to an energy grid as a homeowner, I am pretty certain this is the way it works in Europa.
In your shoes, I'd go through all and any paperwork you signed when buying the apartment, seeing if there are any from the gas company, the homeowner association or the borough council that may be relevant to this. If not, I would not worry too much about the letters from E.ON, since you obviously do not have an agreement with them and furthermore you can demonstrate that you're not being provided with a service. Oh, and I'd send them a letter in writing saying I do not receive gas from them and as such I do not regard any invoices sent to me as valid.
Also, I thought you are the one to go to for legal advice - I only do gas companies' IS
Good luck against the German Gas Giant Bürokratie!
