[losingwilltolive]

These people have bough a debt from EON( Powergen)- Debt relates to electric at a business that failed approx 2 years ago--

 

Has anyone any advice of how to deal with their request-- i made it clear when business failed to EON that i cannot pay anything at all---they have now sold debt to the above

Thanks

There's not really much you can do. Utilities are not covered by the Consumer Credit Act and have to be paid. If you can pay nothing at all, you will just have to tell them you can't.

Many thanks-- if they are reasonable i will try and pay something a little each month

Sorry to have to blunt but you still owe any debt to EON.

You have two points of contact; Either talk to EON direct to try and solve this problem or deal with the solicitors.

Having had to deal with the solicitor mentioned i have found that if you are honest and tell them what you can afford to pay then they will contact EON to see if they will accept the payment schedule that you are proposing. But you do need to make an offer which may include an initial payment to get the ball rolling.

If it does end up going to court then it will be in your favour because you have offered to make regular payments, not a lot of people know that particular fact.

As i am in the process of sorting out my own debts, and i am on an I.V.A scheme this is the best advice that i can give

You mention that this debt was from a business that folded a while back.

 

Was the business a limited company?
