I also walked into to a £1500 court demand from Eon and bailiffs letters.

Poor old lady that owned the place before me had moved into a home, so they pursued me for the estimated debt, still argueing with them over the billing to this day as they have still not read the meter (Officially) in what now seems like the last 4 years.

I've had a bailiff threat since moving in here too, more worryingly its costs from a criminal matter that they're persuing, meaning they can gain forced entry without me or swmbo being in!!

had the cops at our house too the other night after someone with a grudge against the previous occupiers (who incidentally were evicted over 3 years ago) dialled 999 and gave their names and our address!!

I meant, how do you keep so sane when you move every couple of years?? I would be a gibbering wreck if it was the same as I am going through every 2 years!!

Well the first time was bad but I guess you learn the potential pitfalls and try not to get caught up in them again.  I also get removals people to help move all but the delicate/valuable/inflamable yet the house has to be spotless when I leave.

The biggest problem I see is that you can sometimes plan all you like yet so-called 'service providers' dont deliver when they say they will and sometimes this can have a knock-on effect.

Germany was the worst move, took 5 weeks to get a phone line and ADSL, I was not allowed to pay my last phone bill until 3 weeks after I had moved (I am now in the UK  ::)) and the car insurance NCB certificate drama is still on-going.

Yet sorting all that out is nothing compared to my job  :D

Looney bin for me in a few years I reckon  ;D ;D

Another thought (After reading a reply from K.W about being able to contact in a 24 hour period)

Updated all contact details to Doctors, car ins, bills, tv, ISP etc etc.

2 Banks never took note of the update even though it was done online and then verbally over the phone.  Doctors still pay me visits with my old Surgury and address details.

Everyone thinks it's thier right to have my home number, sadly none of them will ever get it again as they cant be trusted with it.

Allthough eveyone has my new mobile number, most companys still resort to using my old one which has bad receprion where I live now.

I have since given up trying to help them. :-/
