my housemate recently changed our gas and elec supplier and, as such, we've been sent a final bill for £400 odd. my housemate has the approach of "**** 'em I'll pay it when they take me to court". i'd rather get this sorted asap so does anyone know if i were to send a cheque for half with a leter requesting that my name be taken from the account or any future correspondence...

a) they'd do this
b) what my legal rights are?
c) has anyone else had this problem and what did they do?

any help would be great!
