Hope someone can help with this. We live in a long lease apartment. Pay service charges. For the whole of this year our managing agent has been undercharging us (due to a system error in their accounting software).
We have just received an invoice for £540. During the year we paid our normal service charge of £280 per quarter, which was the same as the year before.
The management company 'appreciate' it is the festive season and are proposing we pay the surcharge in 3 monthly instalments. I just want to tell them where to go!!!(Am being very restrained here).
Do we have to pay it (I know the answer is probably yes) and if so, can we pay it over 12 months. Have just had the normal service charge of £380 now (has gone up again) so it will be £920 to find. May as well just ask my employers to foward my pay cheques to the managing company.
Thanks in advance.
