Yes they can do it.

I assume the debt was from when you were in England and your old electric company have their head office in English? If so, having two out of three (the third being you) in England means they can issue court proceedings in England and under English law.

Do you dispute the debt? 

Regfaeforth

No, I have never stayed in England always scotland

Regfaeforth

And yes I dispute it but I'm scared to go to court incase I lose and have to end up paying more

Is the bill outstanding or have you previously paid it? What is your actual dispute?

Regfaeforth

I wanted to leave them to go to another company and they had calculated a final bill of over £800 but they said to pay 500 and I could leave them and pay they rest later, but after I paid 500 and left I told them that there was no way I owed that much cis I was hardly in the house to use that much electricity so I disputed it with them and they were supposed to get in Touch with me but they never did

Did you provide them with meter readings and when you left them?
Did you ever follow it up with them to see why they haven't got back to you?

Regfaeforth

Yes I provided them with meter readings, and before I paid the 500 pound I was speaking to them and they said everything was correct but I told them it couldn't be and I never followed it up 

Regfaeforth

What's the worst that could happen if I refuse to pay

They get a county court judgment against you if you ignore it.

OK, thanks for your help, I have just read a bit more about it and I'm goin to challenge the jurasdiction and if it goes to the court up in Scotland I will get free debt advice and will just have to pay in installments
