  • Moriarty Law - Letter of claim

    I received a letter from Moriarty Law stating that they have been instructed to recover £1448.55. This debt is attributed to an energy company who supplied electricity to a property I lived in for a year. Yes it's Spark Energy!

    I responded asking for all relevant documents. In return all I have received, is a copy of a final bill which only shows estimated readings and is also clearly inaccurate. The bill states in one section that I used 8000Kw of energy in the last 3 months (estimated) and yet the energy used over the same period the year before was less than a quarter of this. This reading; I assume is actual but was based on someone else's meter readings. Prior to the final bill it states that I was £410 in credit; following the final bill, it shows me being exactly the amount of the alleged debt in arrears!

    Can they possibly hope to continue further with this claim with only a highly questionable estimated bill? How should I respond? Ask again for ALL documents or simply request that they cease all correspondence other than to confirm that the matter is closed?

        Thanks for your response. Does the fact that I moved out of the property over 12 months ago, negate their case?

          t. The rules fall under what's known as "back-billing". If your supplier is at fault it should not demand payment for unbilled energy used more than 12 months before the error was detected.
