I had the opposite problem.
My house was a model house for the community, and was built before they had roads here. The builder turned the power on. When I moved in, I went to have the power turned on in my name and they said "no such address". They weren't too helpful and I wasn't in a hurry being I was getting free power. Six months later they finally sent someone out to look at the meter itself... Turns out it was hooked up through a "master account" for the builder who has hundreds of model homes on this account, and they would have never have noticed anything if I didn't tell them.
In the end the power company put it in my name, and I got six months of power for free.
