Thanks Bazooka boo once again and grumpy . The letter says client name BCW . As yet I have not confirmed to BCW that I live here , if I reply with the letter you suggest and they try to take me to court I still will not know what for as I haven't seen a bill lol ! the letter says ' failure to respond could leave us with no alternative other than to take legal action against you ' I can't believe they would bother for £80 ,do they for that amount ? Bedebill

Thanks Bonnygirl , unfortunately there is just a bar code . I presume that they are bonafide as there is a 'law society accredited' Lexcel stamp on it ! ? Cheers Bedebill

SW were not interested in my acc as the debt had been passed on to BCW . I think I should just pay at £5 a month and be done with it but it feels like a rip off . The solicitors are geoffrey parker bourne of stratford apon avon . Thanks for your responses guys . Any thoughts appreciated . All the best Bedebill

Hi Bazooka boo the BCW letters and calls ended about 6 weeks ago , I never answered a unknown no or replied to any of the letters , they said they would call but didn't . Now i have a solicitors letter saying they have been instructed to recover the sum of £80 , and I should pay now to avoid legal action . What are my options now ? Pity I thought I was out of the woods. Cheers Bedebill

Hi Folks I know that Sthern Water gave BCW my no because after I emailed them asking if I owed them money I started getting calls from BCW which I haven't answered , they have sent texts too . Sthern water have not got in touch with me re any out standing bills as they have passed the debt on to BCW IMO . How long do you expect the threatening letters to continue I wonder ? Cheers Bedebill

Hi Folks 1st off thanks for the replies , I would have crumbled and rung them without your support. BCW have sent another letter threatening court action if I don't pay , I can't believe they would bother for £70 quid odd . The water co have not replied but instead passed on to BCW my phone no which I will not answer if it is a unknown no . BTW I have not seen a bill for water used , it certainly could not have been £70 , so I am suspicious . I will continue my silent stance . Any advice most welcome , Cheers All . Bedebill

Hi Guys another BCW letter has arrived they say I owe the water co £72 which can not be right , they must have added on their fee ?!!, I have contacted the water co they said they would get back to me but nothing yet , perhaps they are just leaving it to BCW ? I am not replying to the letter . Any thoughts on my next move ? Cheers Bedebill

Thanks v much baz I have contacted the water co and am awaiting their reply I will let you know the out come , I will not contact BWC, Tar bedebill

I havent done a credit report check I will look into that I dont know how to go about it , i am with the same water co' but at a different address , i could have the land lady pay the bills for me i think . i am on a meter here . thanks for replying , cheers bedebill

HI thanks for your reply , I may owe a small amount of money to a water co' as I had a water meter fitted and then moved out after the 1st bill , so it will not be much , should I go direct to the water co' ? I know that no one else has moved in so the bill has not mounted up . Your reply made me laugh thanks Bedebill

Hi all I am new here , I got a letter today from BCW saying they had tracked me via a 'credit link', they say they are acting on behalf of a utility co I apparently had dealings with , the letter asks me to contact them and let them know if I am who they think I am . What is your advice please ? Having read some of the posts on here I feel like running to the hills screaming lol . GLA
