@npowerhelp Wilkins chapman chasing 7mts old Npower bill for old address

[gunner-highway]

I owe money to npower from an account at an old address.

I informed them of my new address when moving but I was using a new supplier.

They claim to have never received it.

 

 

A lot of things happened and it was forgotten about.

They have passed the debt to Wilkins Chapman solicitors.

I have replied to them and made an offer of payment.

 

They responded today saying the only way and payment plan would be considered is to fill in an I e form.

I have looked at it and it is extremely in depth.

I have seen in other threads that only a judge can demand this but I do not want a ccj.

What should I say to them.

 

Thanks for reading and any advice

Tell them to go suck eggs. You can do your own I and e ... One in library I think...

 

Simple

 

Income xxxxx

 

Outgoings

 

Rent mortgage XXX

Utils xxxx

 

Anything else you want to add

 

 

 

Have they issued proceedings ?

 

Value of debt ?

 

Have you the account details? There is nothing to stop you paying directly to n power. Use online banking or their own site. The account reference will route the payment to correct account. Make this regularly.

 

How long ago did you move ?

 

From their site..

 

 

Costs

 

We make no charge for debts that are not recovered prior to Court proceedings being issued. We can discuss your requirements and agree charging rates with you beforehand, so simply get in touch to tell us what you need.

 

So its in their interest to go to court. I suggest you deal with np direct.

Debt is for a period upto 7 months ago and in the region of 2000. No proceedings issued yet. I have tried to deal with n power online but because the accounts are closed it won't let me do anything.

never pay a fleecing DCA or their fake/tame sols anything on an old utils bill.

they have no legal powers and are not bailiffs

no matter what they might like you to think.

 

firstly, have you had a bill directly from Npower regarding this in the past?

certainly within the last 12mts?

 

and is there any dispute regarding what is owed?

you indicate it was an old address so tell us about the history of what you did when you moved out?

 

was there a final bill and you settled this?

and then they came back for more stating there was a historic under payment dating back xx months on the tariff?

 

it is very well known the npower have/had serious issues wit their billing system if tyou read around

in the utils forum

where I've moved your thread too.

I moved out in december last year. There was an outstanding balance that was not paid. I emailed n power to inform them I was moving and gave them my temporary address. I moved in with family for a short time.

 

with one thing and onther happening in my personal life I forgot about them. Six months later I received a bill from them with added charges for tracing me because I allegedly didnt notify them when I moved and they had the account closing date in feb this year.

 

I didnt deal with this straigh away and two weeks later I receive my first letter from wilkins chapman giving me two weeks to pay or make a suitable payment plan or court action will follew with no further notice.

 

I contacted them stating my disputes. The wrote back with copies of all old bills and screen shots of all payments and a letter saying I had not notified n power I had moved and I have to prove this by way of my new tenancy agreement. Well family dont issue tenancy agreements so I have a little problem there.

 

I said to them I still dispute the end date but asbi owe around two grand it wont affect the balance greatly I would continue to raise tue dispute with n power but would start to pay. I offerd 40 a month as I feel that this is the most I can pay. They responded ignoring my dispute and saying the only way to arrange a payment plan is to fill out their i and e form. I am not happy to do this as it goes way too in depth with everything. They even want the value of my car and outstanding finance on it is this just so they could push harder for court and bailiffs eventually. My car at auction would easily cover tue balance.

Is any of this amount subject to the back billing rules? Do you think that the amount that they are claiming is correct?

[dx100uk]

ignore the sily DCA or their tame sols

they have now powers to demand anything

pay N power directly

if you know the details still do it by internet banking

 

 

there is no legal remit to allow anyone to add any thing to the 'debt'
