    Nooo am all payed up there is only 11 of us just got fedd up off the company runing it was ripping us off but cheers for all your advice 
    Be very careful - "we're going to be nice and friendly and write off arrears" might sound good when you're all fed up, but it isn't a good way to run long term.

    Setting a precedent of not collecting debts because some people think it's a bit expensive is dangerous.  What happens when something needs doing if some of the 11 get behind again - are you going to be willing to chase them for that?  After all, you're telling them they don't need to pay this time, so why should they pay next time?

    Sinking fund or splitting the cost of big repairs in future (roof perhaps)?

    Sounds like you've looked at the numbers though, so I'm sure you've thought of those things.

    I'd be astonished if your buildings insurance was as little as 11 x £30 a year.

    It could be anything, you'll need to ask the solicitor.
