I’m managing someone’s account who has died, what information do I need to give you?
We know this is a difficult time, so we’ll do everything we can to make this as easy as possible for you.
We've partnered with NotifyNOW, a service of Phillips & Cohen Associates (UK) Ltd (our probate and bereavement account specialists) so you can easily report the passing of an account holder online, without having to speak to someone. Visit NotifyNOW to get started. This will take you to a website owned and operated by our service provider where you'll be asked to create an account with them.
You'll need the following information to hand:
The deceased's full name and address.
The date they passed away.
Meter readings from as close to this date as possible - we understand this would have been the last of your concerns, it’s just to help make sure their final bill is accurate. So don’t stress if you can’t get them, we can use estimated readings if needs be.
The name and details of the person who’s looking after their affairs. If there’s a will, it will likely be the Executor of their estate. If there isn’t one it will be an administrator. If they didn’t leave a will and you’re unsure who the administrator is, don’t worry just give us any information you can - we’ll help you get this sorted.
If you'd rather get in touch with us directly, please call us on 0808 501 5200 or email us at hi@eonnext.com with these details and we'll be here to help.
