Yep
I know the story. When I moved, I phoned and told them of my new address and the date that I would be moving.

Made no difference.

I got a bill, nearly a year later, for the place I'd moved out of. I wrote to them and told them again when I had moved. They said that they sent a final bill (long after the date that I moved, and wrong - they were about 2 months out), and as I didn't pay it within 6 days they instigated a court hearing - which I didn't turn up at (because they sent it to my old address - trust me, I'd have gone to that hearing if I'd known about it).

I sent nine letters, and copied my MP in (fat lot of good that did) on each one. In the meantime, I was constantly on at them for not sending me a bill for my current place (phoning them about once a month).

In the end, they sent me a bill for £0.00 - which I paid, by ignoring it, and writing to them AGAIN to tell them the date that I moved, and asking when I would be getting a bill?

Bastards issued a court summons - which I was prepared to go to, but the misses was getting ill over it, so I phoned again to be told that the only way to stop it was to pay 2000 quid in one hit.

Luckily, I'd paid what I thought my monthly payments would be to myself, so I had the dosh to pay it (I was slightly out as it was much more expensive than where I lived before).

...but it shows you that even if you are willing to pay it, the cupid stunts simply cannot get it right.
