I received correspondence from a debt collection agency Azzurro 19/01/21 stating that I owed Eon a bill for electricity £56,133.31. This bill was for the supply period 17/01/16 – 13/04/18 for a licensed premises This property was leased by my mother deceased (March 2015). She did not operate a business from the address. The business was run by P xxx under various trading names all of which were limited companies. Pxxx amassed numerous bills before fleeing to another country (2017) I then decided because the pub was closed to renovate it and trade my own company from the premises. The company was ltd and went into liquidation (2019). The lease was surrendered to the Landlord Jan 2019. The lease was in the name of my Mother and my sister was her personal representative. My mother had no debts outstanding and after 6 years I was shocked to discover this debt is owed.
I was informed by Azzurro that the landlords provided them with a lease agreement deeming me liable for the agreement and that they had attached a copy. The attachment was a copy of the lease in my father’s name (We have the same first name but different middle names ) until 2014 and a copy of the lease that was subsequently transferred into my mother’s name in 2014. I have HC1 confirming my mother as the lease holder. The Agency assume I was the leaseholder and that I was also my mothers personal representative. Both which are incorrect,
The response from E. on to myself was they were unable to send any information due to the data protection act. This was because they never had my name, or the business name on the account. The information that they supplied confirmed I was not liable. Unfortunately, Eon then decided I was responsible for the outstanding amount. This was due to the company trading at this address,had been dissolved. Again, they said it was because I was responsible for the lease. I eventually got copy bills for the premises , not in my name but the name of Pxxx . When I asked for evidence of a contract, I was informed it was a deemed contract. Most of the statements are estimated and the supply period is also in dispute (Scottish power 2017)
The electricity company that was my supplier while trading as Harrington’s was Scottish Power, I have emails and a signed contract as evidence. I also have evidence for non-domestic rates in Pxxx name and a County Court money claim proving he was operating the premises during the supply period
