in Water bills
I'm with thames water and have received a bill for water usage from the 3rd October to the 21st of March.

How long can I wait before I have to pay the bill?

Cheers

James

    Welcome to the forum.


    The bill is due immediately(the date of the bill); in theory there is no 'time to pay'.


    In practice, all companies have different policies on when they start to take action, reminders/passed to debt collectors.
