Hi,
I am living in a house with four other people and my name is the only one on the electricity bill and up till now my housemates have been paing their share of the bill.
However, now I have got my last bill of around 400 pounds and they are refusing to pay. The other issue is that they are the ones who use most of the electricity...I have asked them to switch lights off, TVs off, game consoles off etc and they refuse to.
1) Do I have any legal rights here and can I legally get the money off them for their share?
2) Is there a way I can claim for more as I have attempted to reduce the cost of the bills?
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
