Time limit for invoicing work?

A question about : Time limit for invoicing work?

Hi,

I had a new boiler installed by a large utility company a few months back. I experienced a catologue of problems prior to installation, including a weekend with no heating and many hours on the phone to call centres.

I have subsequently put in a complaint to the company in question and been offered a 10% discount on the boiler and installation costs.

Part of the problem is that there system does not appear to recognise my contact details and possibly as a consequence I still have not been billed for the work. I have notified the company of this but still no bill has arrived.

Is there a time limit after which a company can no longer invoice for work? What responsibilities do I have for for informing them that I still haven't been invoiced.

Given my experience with this company I'm not especially keen to pay them if I don't have to, but don't want to spend the money and then I receive a bill in 6 months time.

Has anyone got any advice?

Many thanks.

• Time limit is 6 years!
