Me and the missus rented a flat in Hove for a year, we moved out to stay with the parents to save for mortgage 16 months ago, we've just received a bill from Southern Water saying we owe them £230 for time we lived in the flat , has this happened anyone else before ? I cant understand how they can send us a bill nearly a year and half after moving out :tantrum:

Did you set up with them when you moved in, and have you been paying?

Funnily enough I got a water bill for a commercial unit I have with just a toilet and sink in it so the amount of water used is pretty constant. £127 for 6 months

I found the bill from 2009 a little later £83 !!!! in 4 years its gone up £44 - Whats the inflation rate the government tell us ? 3%? 5% yeah right

Southern Water are a terrible company to get any sense from. And they don't pay their taxes. And they are one of the biggest polluters in the South of England.

Recently had them round to do a survey, to see if they could fit ,,a meter, as it turns out they can't cos I share a supply with next door, and the pipe in my house is boxed in, so they told me, I would have to be on a special tariff, an extra 150 quid a year, for a 3 bedroom house. When my daughter is away at uni, there is only the missus and me here, and that's only in the evenings,so I phoned them and told them it was a 2 bedroom house with a study,after a lot of argument , and them telling me I can't sell my house as a 3 bedroom, my bill will be the same as it is now. Don't want a meter, in five years time they will do what the other privatised utility's have done,and it will even more expensive than it is now.

Sorry, just read that again you said you didn't want a meter.

Most couples would be better off on a meter, do you not get the option with southern water to revert back to your water rates if you didn't save on a meter?

No, I don't think so, they have invested so much money in meter I can't see prices not rising massively over the next few years. I imagine that my bill, where they can't fit a meter, will rise in proportion.

SW have been after me for 120 quid from a property I rented about 6 years ago. I ignore them.
