Got through straight away and they gave me an application no and pin over the phone straight away. Registered online in minutes. As everyone is going to be issued with a bill anyway, regardless of wether they've registered, if IW are to be believed, then I would like that bill to be as low as possible. If the allowances are not claimed then billing will be higher - does this not increase IWs balance sheet and make them more economically viable on paper at least.

I wasn't able to register over the phone (apparently that's an option) as they asked me something and I didn't know the answer, so we agreed that they will send me a registration pack by mail. Obviously when we verified the address, it wasn't my name-I assume that it was my landlady (I asked her, but she didn't tell me, referencing the data protection policy, which is a good sign), but at least we changed it to my name. Has the one month extension for the registration been finalised?

The legislation states that if you use the services you are contracting with IW and unless this legislation is struck down by a constitutional challenge, it won't be overruled by the legal equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "la la la I can't hear you".

Rosa Hot Lumberman wrote: » The charges will happen alright either in their current form or else just by increases in income tax or other taxes. Cancelling the water charges and reversing the income tax changes in the recent budget would leave me a few 100 euro worse of for instance and something like that is all they have to do, they won't say it's to cover the charges but it will. Those who pay tax will also be hit harder than they are now as they will have to make up the difference for those not paying or paying little tax. At least with the charges everyone pays for what they use (once the meters are in).

I was under the impression that a contract had to be physically signed before it became binding? If so does this legislation not break laws? I still haven't got a clear answer on this from someone who seems to know what they are on about. If it is a case that they turn my water to a trickle, what is stopping me from going out and turning it back on?
