Recently I just purchase property, and during processing the SNP, I was informed that the current property did't received any TNB bills for 5 years but the meter is active with power supply. doh.gif

TLDR : Current seller bought the house from previous owner with inherited the TNB issues. It happen because previous owner is having hefty outstanding TNB bills and TNB disconnect the account without remove the meter. confused.gif

Anyone here experienced similiar issues? And the lawyer told me, the money won't get release if this issues did't get resolved.

If seller didn't settle the outstanding, the sale won't go through.

Alternatively, buyer settle the arrears and get on with life.

Please discuss with your lawyer. Your lawyer will take a portion of the purchase price to pay off the outstandings with TNB. Please get the previous owner/seller to do this and to restore everything because you can be charged for stealing electricity if not done correctly.

Yup, that's what my current lawyer trying to do, no settlement on the TNB, no deal.
