Thanks guys. I shall upload the information later.

No, it's freehold. I just have to pay them an annual fee to maintain a cesspit and Severn trent water won't be taking it on until 2016. The properties are on a cup de sac Cul-de-sac rather

Hi All, I co-own a property with my ex. I moved out due to separation in 2013 and at the moment until finances are straight, the mortgage is in both of our names. As the property is a new build, the water pipes and network is owned and managed by a private firm known as Blue Property Management. This is a private company to whom we have to pay yearly charges to to look after it and maintain etc etc. There are arrears on the bill when I contacted them last year after much deliberation from them they reluctantly decided to accept £10 per month from me in order to bring the balance down. Ever since this agreement was reached, I have been paying this amount on a monthly basis. It has only been a few months however. Today I have received an email from them advising that should I not pay the balance before the end of March they will take legal action and issue proceedings against me without further notice. Unfortunately, my ex is not in a position to help financially. They have also added charges on for arrears, an £87 pound charge for a reminder which wasn't received and not necessary and have now passed this through to their legal department. I obviously don't want any legal action to be taken against me and I don't know what to do or what to say to them. Can anybody provide me with any advice as to the unreasonableness of the company? Many thanks
