just spotted a funny thing on Clearscore
I am on long term disability due to an accident at work , this has been going on for over 3 yrs.
when I was first signed off , and put on the basic sickness system , I struggled with bills.
United Utilities (water) jumped in and got a automatic deduction (continuous) , been like this for over 2.5 yrs , every year I get paperwork from government saying they are taking "x" per week.
no changes whatsoever in the last few yrs
clearscore is showing united utilities , and a big red blob "late payment for june this year.
umm , I don't pay them , the government does automatically out of my benefit ,
!!!!!!!!
mistake/cockup somewhere , but not by me.
how do I get this sorted

By contacting the DWP if its them paying the bill via deductions.Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0 -
I have spoken to them , like talking to a brick wall
however , according to clearscore , it is a true reflection regarding payments made to UU , they cleverly missed out the words , by "DWP" or by "myself" .
and because its a true statement , it cannot be amended0 -
Sounds like you need to be a bit tougher on them.0
