i had a letter at the weekend from the environment agency concerning an outstanding invoice - demanding payment within 15 days or would be passed to debt collection agency.
this i found confusing as pay their bills by direct debit and looking at computer could see no invoices for amount quoted, maybe bill has been lost in post and direct debit has fouled up somehow i think?
anyway... i ring up, after 15mins on hold, woman informs me that the letter has been generated automatically and concerns a bill i have not received yet!!!!
after gently expressing concern at my time being wasted, she agreed and said phones were jammed with similar calls but at least was keeping her in a job.
wondered if anyone has experienced similar or if anyone chases their customers for payment before they send the bill???!!!
