Anyone come across this? Rang BG with a view to changing my electricity, and since I'm renting a house (been here +2 years) they want a deposit of €100 and will be keeping it for 8 months..
Anyone know the reason why? I mean, I have paid ESB every bill by DD, BG would have my bank details as I will be paying once again by DD.. but they are still adament that they get their deposit.

That's for their gas connection, OP is being asked for €100 for the electricity connection (My first thought was that the €100 was a good deal for the gas as well!)
Smash - I had a look at the terms and conditions on the website and this is what it says:
8. Security Required by the Supplier
If required by the Supplier at any time, the Customer will furnish the Supplier with such security whether by way of deposit or guarantee, as the Supplier may require, for the payment of any monies which may from time to time become due by the Customer under this Agreement.
