The purchase of our home has been great. We love everything about it. The space, the backyard, the neighbors, the large incurred utilities bills from the previous owners....WAAAIITT....what was that you might ask?! Yes you heard me, the utility company that controls the water and waste is trying to get us to pay the debt of the previous owner. They keep telling us it was up to the "seller's agent" to make sure there was no debt on the home. HA, the only way a Real Estate agent knows of debts is through liens. We have tried to contact the previous owners and have been assured it would be paid, but here I am without water.
Although I promise you, I didn't want to have water turned off. I even dropped off a check last week to make sure it didn't happen. BUT even though I told the company it was a water check upon hand delivering it, I apparently made it out to the "waste" company and not the "water" company (even though they handle both accounts). And thus the "bleeping" $$ was applied to my "waste" account. Let's just say that put me over the edge.
Larry and I have now taken on the role of "collections agency". Who knew? So for the past few hours instead of taking a much needed shower, washing dishes or any of my other mom duties I have furiously pounded away at my keyboard and written a 2 page letter. Which just might end up on the desk of the water company, the mayor, the city council and anyone else I can think of! Now all we have to decide is "WHO IS GETTING SUED FIRST!"
**if you'd like to see a copy of my 2 page rant feel free to leave me your email address, I'd gladly share it**

Yuck. Doesn't sound like fun at all. I don't really wanna read your letter though. I hope you get a shower soon.:-)
I SOOOOOOO feel your pain. I've never seen a more ridiculous form of bureaucracy than I have moving to texas. It's had me in tears at certain times and spitting swear words and fire at other times. I'm so soooorrry. Come and shower at my house and bring your kids over for some water, please!!!!
Holy Cow, don't people know not to mess with a pregnant mom? Don't you know a good lawyer?!
That is crazy!!!
Having them put the responsibility on the selling agent is ridiculous too, because you don't have to have a realtor to buy a home, unless its totally different in Texas.
I'm sorry that you are being punished for Adams transgressions, haha! You can fill in the appropriate name.
Sorry to hear that you have to go through all of this, good thing you know of a good lawyer.
What the?!?!?! That is INSANE!!! I hope things get worked our FAST for you guys!
