Previous LL wants utility bills

[Shanti18]

I moved out of previous house 4 months ago after 3 years. No problems, deposit all returned. LL was constantly coming to the house for various reasons. Now the previous Estate Agent has called twice saying the LL cant get the energy company to talk to him. I advised that he will be getting monthly bills sent to the householder and to open them. I sent pics of meters with reads I sent, energy co name, letter showing CT all paid and moved to new address (down the road), letter confirming water bill transferred to new address and advised Sky provided TV etc. EA called again today to say the the LL is "tearing his hair out" over the energy company and could I send the final bills for water and energy to him to give to the LL. I moved 4 months ago and I feel that this is intrusive now and my bills are personal and confidential. Does anyone have legal knowledge of this. Someone suggested that I just block the EA so he cant keep asking me for stuff. I think he should know better than to ask me for my private accounts. Im not sure!

Why do t you ring the companies and check it was a closing bill and you are no longer involved with the property

just photocopy the final accounts paid and send the copies to EA, no big deal.

Sounds like a form of wifework to me. I doubt he'd be hassling you if you were male.

I'm not surprised he's pulling his hair out if it's Pure Planet! Had no end of problems with them overcharging and refusing to accept meter readings. Have changed to some one else now, never again.

Gulanjamoon, I agree, I don't think he would have taken this many liberties if there was a man in the house.

There are no final bills as the water moved with me to my new address, it wasn't paid in full and Pure Planet have ended my contract, because he even brought the March bill from them which was addressed to the householder in my mail. Nothing is in my name at the old house.

When did you move out?

I moved my Sky account and all the mobiles on Sky to the new house. Wtih the advice Ive had tonight Im going to say Im not sending it. What use is my account number to him anyway as has helpfully been pointed out.

I moved out in February Freddiefox.

Did yo7 phone the companies with final meter readings?

Yes I did.

He sounds like he's a nosy idiot.

I would give my final bill to him if he'd been a decent landlord but not under the circumstances you've described.

They legally cannot do that. Send them a final notice implying no more communications will be received as they are now harrassive, intrusive and unprofessional. You have sufficiently payed your own PERSONAL bills which has nothing to do with them and that his issues are solely between him and the providers. The energy company won't speak to him about someone else's bill and it all seems abit suss if you have paid up with proof then it seems more so like LL is trying to nosey on old letters ect. Just ignore. Citizens advice and legal will advise the same. Even if you hadn't paid it would be between you and debt management. Not him, you and them. LL and him are breaking the law and be harsh and firm.

LA and him*

I would contact the energy company yourself and give your acct no. from the address and ask them what's going on and ask if your acct has been closed. You'll know then if he's telling porkies. Don't send him anything cheeky fecker.
