I bought my property on Aug 6th 3 months later they wanted £98! I'm alone and I hadn't lived there for the first month. There excuse was that I was on the rateable value and no water meter was installed. I showed them a photo of the meter when I moved in, which had been installed a few weeks before. We went round in circles for several weeks before I gave in and paid. For the next 11 weeks, my bill came to £45. Where I would expect it to be. They are pushing me to move to the monthly payment plan. For this, they STILL want £32 per month!! What a shower! no pun intended.
