Paying by monthly direct debits
Hi all, just a quick question re. Severn Trent water bills… We have a meter in our cupboard under our stairs which shows us how much water we use.

Bought new house with water meter installed 9 months ago
We have been told by Severn trent Water that we cannot changed back to bill based on rateable value. I hardly think it is fair that we have taken on the responsiblity of the bill without being given the rights the previous owners were privilaged too. Surely, the right to change the billing should go with the property and…
