E-on Warrant of Entry help???
Hi guys, brief story gas bill of £200 outstanding from e-on had a letter saying that a representive had been and threatening warrant of entry action, i texted the chap and told him i would pay last week when i was paid however my other half has been in hospital and the money has had to be used urgently on this without going into details of what for. Anyway the e-on representive has been in touch today and said he can only hold my account with him until tommorow night 11th dec. My question is i get paid on the 21st and i will pay off the full balance then 100% however having told them i would pay it last month they are unlikely to believe me so how long does it take from him passing my account back to e-on to the warrant of entry being granted and people actually coming round?

I would say you have time, but be quick as max 2 weeks then they will applyDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Hi,
tap a couple of mates for £100 each, if it goes to warrant you could incur further charges.0 -

The creditors have had a broken promise from you already, just last week.
What's to say there won't be another urgent issue arising come the 21st?0 -

If you delay, then the court costs of obtaining the warrant may still be added to the debt, even if the warrant is not used.No free lunch, and no free laptop0
