Vulnerable household yet still have a walking posession agreement

Re: Vulnerable household yet still have a walking posession agreement

If a debtor is vulnerable and the waterco is made aware of this and don't look at their assistance schemes to help the debtor before they go for the CCJ, they should have the application thrown out by the court and costs awarded against the utility imho.

aw never told me of any of these schemes. up until yesterday

Re: Vulnerable household yet still have a walking posession agreement

Are you just speaking to whoever answers the phone? For AW you may need their debt dept and regardless of anything they say they are responsible for the actions of their contractor - after all they are the ones that instructed them. For Marstons you need the Welfare Dept.

On a similar theme but with another High Court Enforcement Co they have released details of Senior Staff that may be contacted direct for urgent cases - it's a great shame others don't do the same.

i have spoken to thier debt department who , after putting me on hold for 6 minutes claim they never knew i was vunrable. this is why i have contacted my mp as i cant fight this on my own.

Re: Vulnerable household yet still have a walking posession agreement

Water companies are notorious for playing silly buggers with County Court summonses. From examples I have seen, they manipulate "solicitor's fees" to ensure the amount claimed is £600 or more so they can instruct HCEOs. It is IMHO an abuse of the legal process and, in a number of cases I have helped deal with in the past, it was blindingly obvious the water company was attempting to mislead the court. The courts need to get tougher with water companies and reject claims that are "questionable".

Re: what does part inventor' mean

I note what you say about your family circumstances and you must make both Marstons & AW aware of this. You will need to provide some form of proof. Marstons do have a Welfare Dept. Both organisations are not clairvoyants and need to be told of your circumstances.

As for AW it may pay to also talk to them to see if they have some form of Water Charity that could be used to pay this in full or in part. Have a read of this http://www.anglianwater.co.uk/househ...ng/assistance/

i have made contact with both marstons and aw who keep sending me round in circles. my mp is involved to help me now. aw were aware of my vunrabilty as i had told them i am a single parent with children to which one is diabled and that is why i am on benefits

Re: what does part inventor' mean

For some reason AW appear to have left enforcement until the last minute it is for this reason I would like to see a copy of the Form 55 you have.

I won't make any further comment on the rights and wrongs of the alleged levy as there has been plenty said already.

As Marstons have a valit Writ of FiFa it is most important this is addressed first. You need to apply for a Stay of Execution which if granted halts any further action by the HCEO or further costs. This applied for on Form N244 and costs £80, if you are on certain Benefits or a low wage you may be able to apply to have the fees waived see Form EX160a & 160c for details. All Forms available from your local County Court if unable to download them from HMCTS website.

Re: Vulnerable household yet still have a walking posession agreement

Some of what I am about to say may sound harsh but I am putting myself in the position of how a Judge may look at things.

You have a CCJ awarded against you for non payment of Water Rates that appears to date from 2008 - can you find out the exact date? If it does stem from 2008 and you have known about it you have since failed to do anything about it. To be able to claim Set Aside you may have had an opportunity on the basis of non-receipt but not this far down the line. However your other problem is your reasons for contesting it - even if you thought you were being overcharged you would still be expected to make payments rather than withhold it all.

Have you paid Water Rates since this CCJ was awarded?

I'm getting lost as to what is happening as you appear to have 3 threads on the same subject. To make life easier I have asked for them all to be merged and will come back later on. It seems to me as if the solution is quite easy.
