    Do you owe that much?
    Have you spoken to them?
    Are they aware of your financial situation?
    How far back does this claim go?

        Not a problem have you seen this on their website https://www.stwater.co.uk/search/?ta...trouble-paying gives a range of services that may help you. If all else fails you need to get someone to speak to them on your behalf & preferably before any Court Hearing - CAB, StepChange, National DebtLine for example.

          Is your income really only £150 per month, or was this a typo for per week?
