How your file gets from Endeavour Energy to your report
You. Have these ready. Your meter number (NMI), on the bill. Your account name exactly as on the bill. A photo or PDF of a bill showing the NMI, your name and address. An email address.
What this means for you
The file is your data, and Endeavour Energy has to give it to you if you ask. You don't have to say why.
In short
