I had my electricity disconnected once because for whatever reason I swear I changed my address for every single bill but managed to miss the electricity (or they screwed it up, they had most of my details wrong in the system). First I knew of it was no power and a note under the door. At this stage I was only visiting the house every second or third weekend.i've had once electricity disconnected due to some accounting stuff ups at energex
the actual disconnection in my case was electrician coming out, unscrewing the fuse and leaving it in switchboard
that was in a block of units with common switchboard located outside
don't know what they would do if it was located inside the property, remove the fuse on power pole?
I have an indoor meter. They cut it off at the pole. When they finally got into the house to actually read the meter instead of sending me estimated bills, it turns out I was $500 in CREDIT, less disconnection and reconnection fees of course.
