Yesterday I got to complain about the council, today it’s City West Water.
I was at the house cleaning up builders dust when there was a knock at the door. It was a Postie – with two envelopes from City West Water. Apparently he’d been trying to deliver them for two months and it was just lucky I was home.
The two were red letters – one telling us the account was overdue, the other telling us that legal action was about to taken to recover the debt.
When Rae called she was rather abruptly told that it wasn’t up to them to know if someone was actually at the address to receive the bills. The conveyor, quite rightly, sent in the form with our new address but City West Water apparently makes no allowance for the fact the owner of an empty block of land may not be living there.
While I’m complaining I’ll have a go at everyone else living in the suburb. They are all rather greedily using up every available ADSL2+ port at our local exchange so it’s likely we’ll have to downgrade to ADSL when we move in and wait until I bump off enough neighbours to gets me a port.
