Hi
i am in the process of selling my apartment. I have had a tenant in there for 3 years. However I understood the service charge was being paid through an agency handling the rent. It wasn’t and i was naive for not checking.
In a nutshell. I owed £4,200 in unpaid service charge. I need the sales pack to sell the property. I contacted the management company as my solicitor told me there was debt outstanding. This has been passed on to a debit collection agency, they have taken it to court and the outstanding bill is now a staggering £8,888. I have never received a letter, notification or otherwise of these proceedings or been made aware of the debt.
Are these fees legal, can I do anything now, they’ve more than doubled the outstanding amount?
I need help and advice asap as I’m in the process of a sale. I do not have the funds to clear them atm.
thanks
Jason
