Both names on bills but flatmate won't pay

Hello,

I'm just after some advice please....

My flatmate moved out just after me and paid the estimated bills. We now have a revised bill for more money that is owed based on actual readings - we owe about £40 each. We have one week left to pay it.

I have tried contacting the flatmate but they won't answer me at all - Facebook, text or answer the phone. They are simply ignoring all forms of communication.

Both of our names are on the bill as well so if they don't pay it'll affect their credit rating as well as mine.

What should I do?

Who do you owe the bills to? I think you should phone them and let them know about the situation so they`ll contact him themselves, he cant ignore that
Hope it all works out

Pay up and chalk it down to experience. It's a relatively minor amount and not worth the hassle of pursuing imo.

While this is probably how it will all end up, it wouldn't hurt to contact the company and explain the situation to them to see if they want to pursue your flatmate.
