Hi,
I'm refering to your letter, from 21/8, which I received earlier this
week, (and which I attach a scanned copy of).
This case is now CC Water.
And I'm going to inform you more, about this, when I hear back from then.
Then I'm going to contact you again, regarding the payment-plan.
So you'll just have to wait, untill I hear more, from CC Water.
I hope this is alright!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I got a new letter, from United Utilities, a few days ago.
So I send you an update, about my complaint, against them.
(I've scanned and attached their letter).
I can try to summarise a bit, about the problems.
Back in 2011, I agreed a payment-plan, with United Utilties.
(After contacting CCCS, (now Stepchange), a couple of years before
that again, about advice, about my budget, etc).
The agreement was that I would pay United Utilities a tokey-payment,
of £1, untill I got a new job.
And I still haven't gotten a new job.
But United Utilities now wants to break this agreement, and they want
me to pay more than the monthly token-payment, even if I haven't
gotten a new job, yet.
I think that United Utilities then break our payment-agreement, (from
2011), so I'm trying to complain, to the Government, (CC Water), about
this.
I hope this is alright!
Pleas just ask me if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

I send a copy, of this e-mail, to CC Water, then.
