Ground rent

acs_2

Ive had a round rent demand for where I live, however Im sure Ive paid the demand at a previous request. Ive checked my bank stats to confirm such yet the company disagree and wont provide me with a statement of my account until Ive paid.

Where do I stand with regards to refusing to pay on the aforementioned grounds and telling them that i'll pay once they've proved the debt on my account.

Thanks

Offer them proof and have your bank confirm where and when the payment fo £x left your account AND to what account it went to.

Just because your statement shows a payment, doesnt mean it got there

Ive offered proof...which was greeted with words to the effect of 'we're not interested, just pay up'.....

Im already suspicious of them for a couple of other reasons and this just adds to their skullduggery

As propertyman says, get confirmation from your bank as to what account the payment was sent. If it is definitely the correct account as specified in the previous request then write to the company with the evidence and advise them that you will not enter into further correspondence until they can prove that they have not received your payment and that they haven't misallocated it.

Have you or have you just showed your statement?

Go into or call your bank and say

My statement shows £x going out on the Y. Can you confirm to whom please?

Dont forget the bank may have just as easily sent it to the wrong person, who is less than honest ablout receiving it.

These problems dont go away the next will be a letter from a DCA or lawyer with £XXX fees and asking you mortgagor to pay up.:eek:

Then you'll be back here- fix it now
