Just bought a sub-sale.

Previous owner has owe RM624 to indah water. He agree to pay too.

But the things is if i change ownership to myself means i have to pay in future,
which im dunwan to pay (or which i not suppose to pay).

If i dont apply change ownership, the bill still stick to previous owner name, which indah water only sue this people.

What do you all think? because heard damn many ppl said, even lawyer told me noneed to pay them.

have u contacted Indah Water to clarify?

u shit u pay la..

else dug a hole and do ur business

btw, how u know u not suppose to pay?

the charges like rm 8 per month onli right ?
duh ...keep using others name and let indah water to charge that pity guy meh ?
very not ethical....
:s

everyone should pay the indah water charges le...
not much also.. so pay lo

Because we have no sign any agreement with them. iwk is like suddenly setup a company and get money from us.

ok lah.. so dun pay. its entirely up to you...

the previous owner should have settled it before the property transaction complete; and in fact, mine have paid in advance....and we apportion the payment, and now it is my responsibility to change the name.....i will let you know how, after i am done with it - cos currently i am so busy, probably do it next month

Thanks Leongal

There should be a clause in the S&P that seller has to settle all utilities and IWK bills.
As to change name, IWK only need photocopy of the S&P. I did mine last month.

Your lawyer should make sure all the bills such as electricity, water, indah water have been fully paid before releasing the final balance. Name transfer is very simple, i just fax them my S&P and they changed it in 3 days time.

Don't think you're right, they might send warning letter to the old owner, but the S&P proves that you're the new owner, so in the end it will be your debt.

thanks for ur advice. i know wat to do already.

actually im not purposely want to do that but just everybody told me noneed to pay single cent, make me so confuse.

Must pay one....later if go court all is paperwork ma....back date abit only they can find out that you are owner from when onwards
so still you kena...better pay lah.

good luck.

That's Malaysian's Boleh mentality lah. Want the service but don't want to pay, how to become developed country?

hey there, to do the change of ownership:

1. Call 03-2080 3130 or 1800 88 3499
2. Tell them you want to change ownership
3. Give them the account no.
4. They will ask you to fax your s&p to 03 2095 6002
5. Attention your fax to the report no. given to you
6. Call them after one hour to check if they have received the fax
7. The change of ownership will take 3 working days

hope it helps

but ts sounds like.. he doesnt want to change the ownership name and let the indahwater to keep on charging to the previous owner +_+

i changed my mind already. I will do the change ownership now.

Totally agree with Kikco. The previous owner can also change name himself by bringing the S&P to IWK.

Anyway, you are still liable.

like that kaa???

i thought they provide service so we pay them for the services

is like that, our gov. at first so good.. provide electricity, water, sewerage, medical, etc to us....

and then gov. privatized it like tnb,syabas,iwk.. or might even privatized gov. hospital in future.

and after privatized, they provide good service to rakyat in past year back....

now, for example tnb, every year earn multi-billion ringgit but electricity rate will increase soon also.

Wat's the rationale of privatized? to earn more money or to provide good service to rakyat?

same thing might happen to iwk,alam flora,etc also... might keep increase as well.

BUT I WILL STILL PAY IWK NOW AS I CANT AFFORD TO AGAINST IT.
