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
