Your Counterclaim should include harassment, you told them that you didn't owe the debt many times (you have evidence), they continued to chase the debt over e.g. 12 months (time) regardless, this has caused you serve distress.

Can you gather evidence of this? That would be good. Send Thames Water a Subject Access Request, if you haven't.Template on the Right Hand side. They have 30 days to respond. Make sure you get Proof of Postage.

They've misunderstood 'service agreement', you are asking for their agreement / T & C's for supplying the address they clam you were at the time of billing.
Have you got evidence of the following? Documents, dates of contact etc.

Have they responded to your Subject Access Request?

Have they responded to your Subject Access Request?
No they have not responded to my subject access request. The above is the only response I've got from them and in it they admit receiving both requests..

a) This can easily be resolve by contacting the landlord.
They aren't going to do that.
b) I have all the documents including council tax and bank statements but I always believed that as the claimant they have to provide the evidence they have rather than going fishing hoping to get paid by making false claims.
The thing is that if the matter can be resolved without a Hearing then that is what both parties should try to do. If you can provide the evidence then you should do so, it's in your interests to do so.
