  • Hi!
    I’ve lived here in Derbyshire 8 years now, so alway’s the same area, alway’s had to rent, so have moved a few times, i alway’s let ST know when i’ve left a property & into another, i have written a letter of complaint regarding the default & requested proof that this debt is in fact mine, also i’ve not been living at 2 properties over the past 4 years, not sure why they have 2 accounts for me, 1 here and another i’ve just not been paying apparently  xx
  • I’ve now noticed that Severn trent have listed me living at an address in Hampton, London & put this on my credit file, plus...yesterday a CCJ popped out of nowhere! Dated August 2018, by Severn trent of course, i am gutted! Not only a default, but now a CCJ, i had zero knowledge of either, and they have alway’s known my whereabouts, i’ve emailed the county court for advise on this, i’m going to do what i can as it’s them in the wrong!
  • Oh...& i’ve never even been to Hampton 🙄 shocking!
  • Any updates on this? I hope you get it sorted!

    I’m certainly disuting the £553.00! It’s water, not bloody cocaine!

    Well, £553 wouldn't get you very much Cocaine, it can get you a reasonable amount water + the cost of getting rid of all that water too.

    If you're disputing the bill why did you set up an instalment plan with them?
    Hi, the representative listed my previous addresses on the web chat, so in that moment, i simply accepted they were right, and i just don’t want any debt in my name, i have put in a formal complaint to severn trent water disputing the arrears/amount etc, if i do in fact owe it, fine, i’ll certainly pay, but i’ve asked them to remove the default from my credit file, i don’t understand why they waited four years to do this, plus, they have alway’s known where i live to send me letters etc to give me the opportunity to deal with it before it got escalated to a derogatory mark on my credit file xx  
    Do you know what period of time that bill covers, and if it's for a period when you lived at that address?
