£2172.00 water bill! Help?

[42man]

Send a letter entitled full and final offer and enclose a cheque of £1,000 and if you do not hear anything from them within 10 working days then you will consider the matter settled....

Johnson cox doesn't work with AW any more.

 

Ok have you gone to OFWAT? if not ring them now , if they are no good then report this to the consumer council for water, if they are no good go to the DWI.

 

These regulators are usually pretty hardcore and dont tend to arse about,if you dont have any luck with the above or the advice 42 has given you let me know.

42man should I be acting on the letter before action or striking straight with the full and final settlement?

 

I am ready and willing to submit either.

 

The value will however not be to the sum of 1k with all events and the duration taken into account; I shall be honest and say my full and final offer will be nowhere near that figure, would it seriously be yours based on this ongoing saga?

 

Maybe back in 2009 when they first targeted me I may have been desperate to shake them, but with all circumstances considered I also have to take into account their ongoing charge of 1k per year.

 

This is where the problem lays, I can agree to negotiate the balance but without official instruction from a legal entity what is to stop them then putting me back in this position?

 

On a side note, I sent the email this morning instructing withdrawal of implied access to my property and although I have not received a reply, this is the first evening without Mr Door Banger, banging on the door. Today is also the first day in a long time that I've updated the forum. Who knows.

 

If anything I shall be enforcing a far better deal on the account and then ensuring a correctly charged rate for the duration of my involvement with Anglian Water, at this point, I can not trust that to be entrusted with Anglian, I would feel far more secure with this entire case being presented before a judge. After all, this has all started with a fault somewhere, to simply pay them off would not rectify that and ensure correct bills in the future?

This is where I will follow through with the regulator again Rob
