water related CCJ - need help please

We had through a bill for the sewerage section of our water (we pay two companies) for our previous address. we paid this earlier in the year - 1st april. then first week in june it seems like they took us to court. we have just had through court paper work with the figure we owed £126 plus £90 court costs then minus £126 so they know we had already paid!

We dont have a clue what is going on or what to do. We were going to pay the £90 immediately and then get some advice on what we need to do to remove the CCJ as it was not a debt as we had paid it two months before. but we checked and to do this will cost £75 on top and it may still stay on our records - i have been working hard for 3 years to get my credit history back to green for go and now this (i have never had a CCJ before and i am exceptionally upset and angry as in my head they cant take us to court when we have paid a bill in full :mad::mad::mad:)

Can someone please help as we dont know what to do at all...

    Have you called your water company ?

    You need to speak to their debit advise/ credit management department and find out exactly what they took you to court for. When and why

    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.
