Totally agree with starfish, I had nothing but total intransigence from them (management of course) when faced with a problem not of my own making causing me an almost total breakdown, I also know of a pensioner having been sent a letter demanding a 'Poll Tax' (it's it's original name) payment or a court summons, this had been paid in full by D/Debit weeks before, no appology of course...it's a standard letter..they have NO control over it!!
