Hi, hoping someone can help.

I received a letter from Southwark council saying I would receive a cheque for ?88 and some pence due to the water charges refund, and this is the confusing part.

The end of June I saw a credit of ?92 on my rent statement , but as I was ?5 in arrears, it took it down to ?88 and some pence, but around two weeks I saw a debit of ?88 on my rent statement, which means I now have ?70 on my rent account this week, but I paid enough rent to make sure I wouldn't have to pay until next week.

I called someone from the rent team and he did try and explain but I really didn't understand.

I was just wondering if anyone could help, as I feel that the council haven't actually refunded me any money, as it seems that they credited my rent account then debited it weeks later.

Thank you

hi there the way it works with Southwark council os it puts the money on to your rent account minus the arrears then debits the lesser amount back out of the rent account, basically the balance minus the amount will be sent out to you in a cheque. Its a really odd way to do it but southwark never do anything in a normal fashion................hope it helps

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
