Hi all here goes

I moved into a property 3 months ago and NTL transfered my services eventually, since i moved in i have received bills for the previous tenants on a weekly basis. I have rung up NTL constantly and been told just return it to us and they will stop they never stop. My wife accidentally opened one of the bills (Didn't look at the name) and it is for an obscene amount of money and the bills are still being charged, the previous occupants had 2 accounts in different names so i now get double the amount of bills. Ringing NTL doesnt have any effect they just quote the data protection act at me they refuse to take the previous occupants new address and they will simply not give up chasing this debt, the inference that i am lying and trying to dodge the bill is galling to say the least. So if anyone has any suggestions i am all ears which is more than NTL are, the last thing i want is collection agencys involved etc etc etc i really am tearing my hair out over this one.

Many thanks.......
