We aren’t able pay the outstanding balance with your current supplier. This means you’ll have to pay any monies owed to the previous suppler even after you transfer to Clear Business Water Limited. If your account is overdue by 90 days or more, you may not be able to transfer to us unless your account is settled.
All services you take from kinex will be invoiced on our unique one bill solution on a monthly basis. We issue bills around the 10th of the month and collect our Direct Debits shortly after.
For more information, see kinex.co.uk/direct-debit-guarantee.
If you have a meter, your meter is read when you transfer your services over to Clear Business Water Limited, and every six months thereafter by us. We use these readings to calculate your estimated monthly bills. To ensure you receive the most up-to-date monthly bills, we encourage you to take your own meter readings each month (if it’s safe for you to do so) and send them to us by the last day of the month.
