I received a letter yesterday about an unpaid bill for ground rent for my property. It's only 12 quid a year but for some reason or another I haven't paid it for 3 years
They also wrote to me in October (ish) last year to tell me there was a couple of years outstanding to which I emailed them to ask if rather than paying it on one payment could I spread it over 2 months to which they never replied.
Anyway this letter yesterday advised that there is a balance outstanding that needs to paid within 14 days if not they will add a further £20 cost on to the amount owed and then charge £50 for every letter they need to send me. Can they charge me this for a letter?
I will pay the amount outstanding but was just wondering what rights they have got to charge me?
