I will try They are still writing to me and even though I informed them they were wrong and am considering court action, they replied by sending me the statements again. Which means nothing to me, just that they have statements, which are incorrect. Where will it all end

I too am having a problem with NPower for a debt I did not make. Buchanan Clark & Wells and Geoffreyparkerbourne have both been chasing me and even though I inform them the debt isn't mine, they keep writing. Why do they not listen? And when exactly does 'request' become 'harassment'?

Hi. When I moved into my new rented house I contacted NPower and attempted to create an account with them. The former tenant was with them so I decided to stay. At first they informed me there was an outstanding bill at the address and wanted to fit a metre for me to pay. I disagreed and informed them I would not pay someone else's bill. At that time I informed them of the correct metre reading I would be paying from. During the 6 month lease I had, I contacted them 4 or 5 times informing them I was living there, yet they kept sending bills to me in the old tenants name and would not accept my calls as I was not the account holder. When I moved out I did not hear from NPower for another 4 months before I received a call out of the blue on my mobile. They instructed me that the final bill needed to be paid. I asked them to send it to my new address which they did, as I wanted to pay for the time I lived there and I would not steal from them. When it arrived it was for £1085.60. I contacted them and informed them that they were wrong. It seemed to me that £180.93 per month was a little high. It also included dates before and after I lived at the property, which I also contested. NPower informed me that they would put the account on hold whilst it was investigated. The woman on the phone even laughed because it was so high. Then 7 days later (5/12/07) I received a letter from Westcot demanding the payment of £687.60. I contacted them and informed them that NPower had put the account on hold. They also said they would put it on hold. Again I thought £114.50 per month was still a bit high as I was mainly at work and the property was empty during the day. On the 28th December i received another letter, this time from Buchanan Clark & Wells. They were requesting £772.18 (£128.69 per month). Again I contacted them and informed them of the account on hold - they ignored me and sent more letters. I requested NPower send over all the bills they had for me to assess. When they arrived at my new address all the bills had my name on, unlike when I lived at the original address. The period includes an extra 5 months yet NPower will not listen to my complaints. I have also sent letters which have been ignored. I do not have the original tenants agreement nor the original bills with the wrong name on. I also no longer have the original metre reading or the end reading. What can I do to avoid paying what I don't owe? Please help me ...
