court of protection then.

Please explain...

you apply to the court of protection to take over the affairs of someone who is no longer capable of conducting them themselves.

There is a fee for getting this permission.

The order is better than power of attorney as it has more clout that makes it easier for companies to understand your rights in the matters.

Ok did not realise that the time had moved so quickly.

the situation has become a whole lot clearer around EON and I am now able to speak with them quite freely after sending them a signed consent form.

It transpires that there are 3 seperate accounts.

1 was a gas account-Pre Payment

1 was a Electric Account-Pre Payment

1 was Gas And Electric Standard Payment.

These now Total £9634.26p and date back to 2003.

As there is only a pension going into his account each month I really dont know what else to do.

I even applied to the EON trust fund but that was rejected.

Any further appreciated

2003!! 14yrs ago!!

I hope they can prove all these are genuinely owed with bills that he did receive at the time and none of this is a clever trick to get around the back billing rules!

Something smells here.

I agree it just seems incredible that EON have allowed this to get this far.

I am also getting calls from LCS in Leeds trying to collect the debt.

Thread moved to General Legal Issues in view of the default judgment.

LCS are a powerless dca

they are not bailiffs.

seems strange they are chasing mind

if theres a court judgement then a dca is about as useful as a used teabag in an ern in getting anything done regarding its enforcement.

something smells here too me

Hello daley1 and glad you're able to talk to us more freely on your Father's behalf.

This all sounds very odd. We don't let accounts stay in this sort of debt for 14 years. What explanation have we given?

Prepayment accounts have already been paid through topping up the meters. I suspect these accounts will be statements detailing the cost of the energy used and payments made rather than outstanding amounts. Have we given you a detailed bill for the outstanding balance we're chasing showing meter readings, payments made and prices charged? Is the £9.6k+ what we're looking for or is it a total of the prepayment and credit accounts?

Have you spoken to our Legal Team? As I posted earlier, now the account has reached this level, these are the best people at E.ON to speak to. Make sure a complaint is raised. This will stop further debt follow up whilst the case is investigated. There are more details on our website about how we look after complaints.

Sorry for all the questions daley1 but what you've said is unusual.
