A question about : Water bill for un-metered empty property

Hi,

Looking for a little clarity as trying to reduce costs.

We were selling our flat last year, only it fell through.

In the process we moved to a new house and the buyer of the property messed us about so much the flat was empty for 4 months and then they pulled out.

We have managed to rent for now to try and recoup expenses and will re-sell in new-year.

I have received a water bill of Ј140 for the period it was empty.

A question about : severn trent heavy handed tactics

Hi,
We received a bill for approx Ј40 from Severn Trent dated 01/10/14, we've had a lot going on with a death and threatened redundancy so unfortunately this was forgotten.., so today, the 20/10/14 we receive a letter threatening court action if it's not paid in 14 days. This has made me really angry, I fully intend to pay it but, is there a way that I can make them pay for their heavy handed tactics without actually getting into trouble?

A question about : Sudden jump in water bill

We're at a loss,

For the past 5 years our water usage has been consistent, about 50 units (cubic meters) per half year, the suddenly the new October bill is 135 units?

The only unusual things in the last six months have been a slight overflow leak in the toilet, which I fixed in half a day, and we've had the drive block paved, but I can't see the contractors using 85 tonnes of water to do that.
