In order to avoid having my DD put up by a ridiculous amount, I offered to pay the outstanding amount, online. The person at the end of the phone gave me the wrong sort code, and the payment went astray. My own bank traced it for me and wrote to the recipient (another banking institution in the City) - no reply. I wrote - no reply (there's no phone no. available).
In this case I think it's the utility co's fault, they should write off the amount. They've now changed my direct debit to the ridiculous amount I was trying to avoid.0 -
I also disagree with agrinnall, as an experienced forum user, or forum !!!!!! as I call myself, I often get ridiculed for starting a thread on something that's been covered before. Many forum admins urge you to check if your problem has been discussed elsewhere before starting a new thread. Ergo if you want to make a post it's assumed you should do so on the old thread.
Anyway, I'm digressing and am still £700 out of pocket.0
