We have longstanding issues with the council over our septic tank - essentially system isn't fit for purpose and we were charged thousands of pounds for maintenance. System has now been taken over by a water company and charges are reasonable, we have an agreement with the council to pay them an nominal amount each month until the balance is paid off. Thought this was all sorted (water company took over in May 2012 and all has been fine since)
Just got an invoice from the council for £500 for work carried out in the 1 month prior to water company taking over. 16 months ago.
Do we have the right not to pay as it's so late?
I will contest paying it anyway as we went through a very long winded process to agree a reasonable monthly repayment - £50 a month - so this amount is clearly unreasonable.
Any advice please? Thanks!
