Please can someone help us?

We are sick of BG and their letters/emails saying we have cancelled our payment plan with them when we have not.

We are in arrears on both Gas and Electric since Pete ( Bobcat ) lost his job and have never caught up so we pay them £15 every 2 weeks for gas and £15 for electric, never miss a payment, have got receipts but they keep saying we have cancelled the plan!

 

The latest sage is they are now demanding we pay £36 on both every two weeks.

 

 

The told us that as long as we did not miss any payments that we would not get any more letters or email demanding payment but they keep sending them. had one today from a Annette Hardcastle. We just can not afford any more even though Pete is now working he is on low wage and we get no benefits at all.

 

 

We are sick of this and do not know where to turn as we have not missed a payment, we only ever write or email them not phone, please if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

Sorry for being so long

Sandy ( Bob cat's o/h )

Hi there,

 

I think the worse that will happen is that they pass it to a DCA and then you can give the DCA the run around.

 

The problem is that any letters you send to BG never go back to the person who sent the first one. You can bet your life your reply won't go to "Annette Hardcastle" and I was once told by BG that the letters are sent to one address but the replies are handled somewhere else.

 

You could try and speak to them on the phone. I'd much rather speak to them than a debt collector.

 

I personally would send a letter to Sam Laidlaw the Chief Executive at their Head Office and say everything you have said here.

 

You have stuck to a payment plan, you cannot afford any more, so why is his office continuing to harass you after they have said they wouldn't.

 

I did that once over another issue with BG and it did get sorted out by someone who was instructed directly from his office to sort it out, so it's worth a try.

we have just had another email from BG saying that £15 is not enough and we need to increase it to £36 every two weeks I can copy and past it if need be? They actually phoned my mobile ( this is Sandy, lol ) and asked for Pete, told them he is not here and they could discuss it with me to which she said no, I am not named blah blah erm excuse me you phoned me and we did not give you my number!

Do they think we are made of money, yes we are in debt to them but we are at least paying

Apologies.

 

There's just been a response to another letter we sent to a CEO on another thread, albeit that went by email. It took a couple of weeks to get a reply.

 

Reply to their emails saying you are awaiting a response to your letter to Mr Laidlaw about this matter and would they kindly not harass you until such time as you have received his reply.
