Resolve a customer name
Resolves the customer name on an electricity meter or cable smartcard
before you take payment. Electricity purchases fail with
422 NAME_ENQUIRY_REQUIRED until this has succeeded for the same
meter number and service_type. Cable TV does not enforce it, but
you should still run it when the provider requires a validated customer.
Requires a Bills Payment subscription.
