You've seen the news about various US states (and even a US-wide bill!) for operating systems to implement age checking - but exemptions could cause headaches.

      I have never had any of them check. I created an account with details they sent in the post addressed to the homeowner

        yeah, they validate the homeowner matches the landlord’s addresses, otherwise they couldn’t serve the proper unit/terminal….
        that’s Identification.

          The only validation is someone is paying for the energy at this address. They don’t really care beyond that.

            Miss a single bill. See how your validation crumbles.

              That it to their point, yes. Cash is the only ‘validation’ at work here

              Ps - it’s better if they don’t have your real info so it won’t affect your real credit ;)
