British Gas
Hi, can anyone offer me advice?
I changed from EDF last year to British Gas as they were offering me a better deal on duel fuel. A few weeks after signing for BG EDF came back and offered me an even better deal, so I dedcided to go back to them, i cancelled BG and they sent me 2 final bills. The elec one was about right but the Gas one was way too much and i disputed it. this went on for a couple months until they agreed and said it would be sorted and new bill would be sent. In Nov 08 I got a bill saying this is your revised bill issued in June 08 and they where now saying it was £87 this was more like it and i paid it. last Saturday 4/7/09 (8 months later) I got a letter from Moorcroft Debt Recovery saying the debt had been passed to them as I hadnt paid anything under the County Court Judgement I had. to say I was shocked was an understatement!! i have never had a CCJ and have never had any notification of one. I contacted BG and tried to get to bottom of it but with it being weekend I had to wait till Monday for Mgr to phone me, Monday came and went no phone call so I called them again. To be told I had been taken to court on 22 Nov 08 for £87 which was now totaling £200. The thing is the revised final bill I received from BG was dated 20/11/08 and when I was apparently taken to court I more than likely wouldnt of received it being sent in post. So now I have a CCJ for something that isn't my fault. They have said that they will ensure the account is nil and the CCJ reversed, but earlier in the year I was turned down for a loan and a mobile phone I never really went into it but this is obviously why and them just reversing it just dosn't feel enough. Any idea's what I can do, they shouldn't be able to get away with this. Thanks Lyns

Do you have a CCJ or not?
Find out for sure. Ask which court it was issued in and then get a copy of the judgement from the court.
If you have actually got one that you know nothing about then you may want to seek legal advice. Don't rely on a creditor to get it anulled - they will be more interested in enforcing the judgement they have obtained."Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
