Sold and moved from a property in Aug 07. All utilities meters read and finalised. Received bank refund and closing statement for gas & electric totalling £225.00 after DD's overpaid. Now received letters (Jan09) demanding the money they paid in refunds but without explanation. This company not owed at time of BR in March 08 so not listed as creditors as they weren't! Have written to them but no reply. Can they instruct collectors and/or issue summons? If this lies on their files (as I am still a customer) can they transfer this alleged debt to present account? Would I have difficulty getting new account when I move?
How can a refund of overpayment be a debt? I don't owe them a penny. How can they think I owe them after they calculated a refund (correctly). Their refund letter says so in Sept 07. I filed voluntary bankruptcy 7 months later.
absolutely right but you're in the fortunate position that you have an official appointed by the court at your disposal (OR) so I would take Paul's advice and let the OR sort it out.
