1k is a lot, that's 2 months of my benefits
After I have paid rent, council tax, gas bill, electric bill, water bill, sewerage bill, and the phone bill, I have less than £100 of my wages left for the last 3 weeks of the month.0 -

I just got two bills when the postman turned up 10 mins ago.
Both addressed to the previous tenant, now I know it's naughty to open mail not addressed to yourself however these are bills.
Anyway one was a sorry letter from Npower for not sending a bill in over 18 months, so no wonder I never noticed beforehand. Back to January last year, 7 months before we moved in.
The other was a bill for the entire 18 months of £1k.
I need to go looking for my contract and if I got an inventory from my LL.

That is a reminder, not a bill. So you, or rather the previous account holder, should have been sent a bill previously to your address.
How do you know what period that reminder covers? :huh:
The letter says they have reduced the amount otherwise owed by £410.39 being the amount calculated as being used and not billed for the period 19/01/13 - 17/05/130 -

Phone and Laptop was a gift from my parents when I went to university years ago. My first generation smartphone is hardly anything to brag about let alone my giffgaff £5 goodbag.:/ I love how people think that a £20 printer/scanner I got to print off uni work is a luxury. We're talking about my bill not my income and outgoings.That is a reminder, not a bill. So you, or rather the previous account holder, should have been sent a bill previously to your address.

And there is no date on the reminder letter saying for which period it is for.0 -

But they can't afford a lead - probably available for a quid from poundland.0 -

There hasn't been any bills, hence why I never know and sorted this out quicker, being issued one would have rung alarm bells for me....
