At one time (before they were public companies, and maybe still today)
utilities had various special privileges.

That resulted in all manner of absurdities; I still recall my mother's
fury when she discovered that the Gas Board had broken down the door of
an empty flat in order to read the meter.

The ethos seems not to have changed. ("Absolute power....")

Some customers undoubtedly play the fool, but with all the intrusions
on privacy I would have thought that utility companies could
successfully identify such persons.

Come to think of it, the OP said that people came and went all the time
because he lived in a shared flat.
That ought to confuse all the databases!
