Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Is there anyway of checking whether you are being charged a higher rate for electricity?
I have just posted this query on another part of the forum. My ex-tenant used to pay by prepayment tokens. When he calculated he had paid £3000.oo for 18 months usage, he requested a meter to be installed. However, his bills seem excessively high for a 2 up 2 down terrace house. The property had night storage radiators in 3 of the rooms, it had an immersion heater ( that wasn't left on all the time) and he was a sole occupant. He now tells me he regularly received high bills eg £1400.00. When he left in March and gave his last reading he was billed £800.00 and he has just received another bill for £500.00. Apparently Npower were less than helpful and suggested it was the immersion heater that was expensive. They asked if he had a fish tank as they were expensive to run!! I think the meter has been set to the same rate as he was paying on the prepayment tokens. Which will still be a problem, even with a new energy supplier.
I have been sent an estimated bill, which will need some adjustment but not much and it is £249.00+ for 2 months during which time the property was empty, had one heater in use for about a month and the lighting.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks - the quote is a useful starting point but do you have any idea how I can begin to sort this out ? Is there any energy suppliers code that they may be breaching ? Anything would help -many thanks
