We did have the same issue with our landscaper when we first moved here.

This went on for three years; They added us to the route to be serviced but not the billing. When we figured it out we brought it to their attention and it turns out it was a huge company.... The general manager was a complete and utter dick - I was pissed. They would have cut my grass until the end of time if I didn't tell them they weren't billing me. They stopped service the following week, and the more we emailed each other the more hostile he got. I dragged it out as long as possible just to fuck with him because I can be a dick too.
It was a funny story with that gas bill as well - I knew the guy who had the flat before us - He was an old fashioned gentleman - He called the gas company so many times and practically begged them to take his money - They point blank refused...

I wasn't so charitable - The couple who took it from us still live there 15 years later - They still have free gas - I see them regularly.....
