I include an exert from a friends email from NC



"The next dirty little trick they are playing at is this! They are now scouring old unpaid water bills from years ago left by previous owners of houses. We are ok in new builds but you remember X. X has been paying his 27ytl (this is a standard bill even though you don't use any water) each month from the bill he gets but this month it was 2500ytl! An unpaid bill from 4 years ago and a previous owner, the council neglected to tell the new owner! The unpaid bill was 500ytl the rest is fines accrued over time! Nice or what! It looks like X has to pay a bill he never knew he had AND pay the fine accrued for non payment of a bill the council or X knew existed."

Interesting times....

hector

when we moved in the previous owner had not paid her water bill for 10 years.

we paid it and it was only about 80ytl.

i think it is the new local goverments taking control.

our water bill has dropped since our area change due to this new local gov thing.

also our village has had new roads and been cleaned up of all rubbish.



my neighbour has a 8,000ytl electric bill outstanding and still has a connection,lol.

Can I assume that your neighbour with the outstanding 8000 ytl bill might not be an ex pat?

no hector he is a tc! (and a horrible racist neighbour!)

our plot is a strange shape so we have neighbours on many sides.

most are great but this one is a kopek.

The fact that not being an ex pat he doesn't get cut off doesn't surprise me.
