Can anyone help me with water debt?

I would be very grateful if anyone can help.

I still owed United Utilities for some water rates from 06/07 so I was paying this to Moorcroft Debt Recovery, however UU passed on this years bill 07/08 straight to the recovery company and I'm now paying 50.00pm. I've just spoken to Moorcroft on the phone and they said unless I pay off all the arrears by March 2008 then UU will pass next years bill onto them automatcially also. I asked if I could just carry on paying the outstanding debt to them and then pay my new bill to UU but they guy on the phone said that UU won't let me do that as long as I have arrears on the account. :confused: Surely this can't be right? I'm not refusing to pay anything and it would be so much easier for me to pay off the old bill and pay the new one as normal. Basically I'm stuck and if this carries on I'll be behind with my bills for years to come! (unless I get a substantial payrise or win the lottery)

I hope I've explained that okay and if anyone knows if that's true or if there is a way around it, it's much appreciated.
