Soldato
Short version of events as follows :
I owned a property. I leased it out from Oct 2010 and never lived there again. I sold the property in April 2013.
I have had a utility company demanding £800 for the supply of electricity and gas. I have never had an account with this company. The date of supply is from 16-12-2013 to 17-12-2013, yes you read that right... £800 for utility supply for 24 hours... 8 months after I've sold the property.
I explain all this to the debt company. They put "my" case on hold. About a month later, the process repeats itself. This has been going on for around 9 months.
Question is, where do I stand? How do I get them to stop harassing me?
TIA

** Edit **
Here's how the latest attempt to start all over again has panned out (I'll update as this pans out). Note how they have told me initially that the matter is urgent, I need to contact them by phone straight away. It's so urgent that I can provide a number and have them phone me.
Note also how they drip feed the "urgent" information over a period of almost 2 weeks...
They've still to get to the part where they tell me it's for 24 hours worth of supply on a date when I didn't even own the property...
