Landlord changed water bill to my name and debt collectors after me
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help me? I moved out of a property one year ago (June 2018) in which all the bills were included in our rent. I have just got a letter from Adventis addressed to me and one of the other people who I lived with in this property. It states they've been requested to find me by Severn Trent…

No Outside Stop Tap - Should My Water Co Provide One? (Thread no 2)
My flat doesn't have an external stop tap. The supply pipe for the flat comes from the road, then under the pavement, then under a tarmaced forecourt that I own and then under the threshold of the front door to the inside where there is an internal stop tap under a trap door under door mat. I think it's lead all the way.…

On the wrong meter for 4 years - what now?
Hi. I live in a block of flats where our water meters are stored outside and all together. There are only two of us in our flat and we both work full time so not there during the day. My bill had been slowly increasing from £31.20 per month to £72.50. Our usage hadn't changed from what I observed so I called my water…

Rocketing water bill - any chance to challenge?
My monthly water bill two years ago was £33 per month. Last year it was £56 per month. This year it's over £70 a month. I don't believe our household water usage has doubled in that time, so I'm a little dismayed that our bill has increased to this degree. Is there any mechanism in place whereby I could dispute this,…

ST Water Meter replacement

I have been in my house 4 years and so far the process for paying my water bill has been that Severn Trent come and read my meter every 6 months (at least, that's what they tell me), which generates a bill that I then pay. The amounts have always seemed correct, although I will admit…
