Wonder if anyone can help me.

 

We moved house back in December and to cut a long story short, we owe money to British Gas for 7 weeks of power - £176 (I know its ridiculous but am fed up arguing with them)

 

After going on for so long they passed this bill over to Westcot. We have told Westcot that we will pay them £10 per month but they are not accepting this and are demanding we pay £20 per month.

 

We have said all we can afford is £10 and they said they won't accept it and if we dont pay £20 then they will take ust to court etc.

 

Can they refuse our money?

 

They say that the only way they can take £10 is if we provide them with a list of our incomings and outgoings, which quite frankly, they can whistle for.

 

Any help please?

 

Thank you!!

They are unlikely to take you to court if you continue paying them each month. Send an income/expenditure breakdown.... and enclose a cheque for £10 at the same time. Stop talking to them on the 'phone as well... as I assume this is how they're bullying you !

Thanks again, PO!

 

I didn't think they could take someone to court as long as they were paying them, but what if they choose not to receive payments?

 

I don't want to send them an expenditure breakdown either - surely this is none of their business.

 

If I send a cheque, can they just refuse to cash it?

It's very doubtful that they would refuse to cash your cheques. In any case, you would have your own records of all attempts to pay and could show these in court, should they be stupid enough to go that far with it.

 

As for the expenditure breakdown.... it does no harm to send it. You don't have to disclose personal info. on there, just put "housing costs" for rent/mortgage, insurances and so on :cool: , "transport costs" for petrol/bus/train, car insurance, etc. :cool: ....

 

They have no business knowing your life details, I agree... so don't provide any, as such.

..and when youve done that, just keep paying £10 a month, if only to annoy the sh!te out of them!

 

When they ring, give them incorrect contact details- date of birth, post code etc. Because of the Data Protection, they can only talk to you if they are 100% certain that your the one they want to talk to.

By the way, if they send you an Income and expenditure form, put NA and the dater on every blank line you DONT fill in otherwise they will forge items on this (I've had it done by another company - added £400 pm car expenses and I don't drive and haven't got a licence)
