in Water Bills
I recently had a CCJ put against my name by northumbrian water, i moved out of a property in june 2019 back to my parents house and cancelled my accout with NW.
I had went through a name change so when i cancelled the account it was in my old name, since i left NW created a new account in my new name with out my consent and have billed me for nearly 3 years of water rates.
When i questioned how this can be done they said they dont need my consent to charge me as the had an assumpion i still lived there, surely this is illegal.
Can any help and shed any light on this
Thank you in advance

I moved my electoral voting address and have since voted at my new address confirming this is correct.
I have received no paperwork from NW i can only assume any correspondence have gone to my previous address, the 1st thing i knew about this was when i received the CCJ
