Issue Date: MARCH 4TH
Have you Acknowledged the Claim?: NOT YET RECEIVED ONLY YESTERDAY
Total Amount Claimed : ( approximately please do NOT use EXACT figure given on the claim form, round up to next £100 or £1000) £2000
Claimant’s Name: SOUTHERN WATER
Solicitors Firm: SHULLMANS
Original Creditor: SOUTHERN WATER
Original Debt (eg. Credit card/Loan/Overdraft) : WATER
Particulars of Claim: ( Please type out in full excluding names/account numbers/exact amounts ):
Statutory water... Claimant claims sum of £1700 for unpaid water and/or swerage charges. Claim is for property *... . * for the period of 15/06/2009 to 30/06/2016.
Also interest of £350 for period 30/06/2016 - 01/03/2019.
Is the debt Statute Barred (have you had any contact with the creditor or claimant over the last 6 years?):
I believe it is. I lived in said property from 08 until 2015 and never once paid water nor did I ever acknowledge any debt, or letters or accept liability. In this case I believe atleast the debt mentioned is statute barred from 2009 until 2013?
List any letters you have sent (eg: CCA/ CPR ): I've not sent any of the claim forms back nor contacted SW in response to this yet.
Any Other Information or Background Details:
They have claimed for water charges for more than a year after I lived at the property which can be proven as I was actually in prison for part of it. The greater remaining majority I believe is statute barred as I have made no contact with the creditor since initial bill stage when I first moved in that property.
I moved into my current property in 2017 and waited until I married and my name had changed before setting up a new water account in my marital name with Southern water and have been paying for water here since october last year.
Please advise on. How I should go about this. Do I put in a defence of statute barred and hope the entire amount is written off? Or claim part of it statute barred, part I was not the tenant and then request a breakdown of the bills they Could legally recover (so approx March 2013 to March 2015).
Also is there a way to get rid of the interest?
Many thanks. New here and not sure how this all works x
