We have a pylon on our land for which we have not received owner/occupier payments for 11 years. On investigation, National Grid confirmed that they stopped payments in 2005 for no apparent reason. They have sent us a cheque to cover the last 6 years (it works out at an average of £114/annum) but smugly say that they won't go back further than that and it is our fault for not telling them that they had ceased payment.
Granted, we have slipped up but surely a debt is a debt? They don't dispute that they owe us for the remaining years but they have no intentions of paying.
