his bill covers a property I lived in 5 years ago! The bill has just been sent to me. I want to pay, but also to make sure it costs them more money than my 13pence.

If the bill is for 5 years ago and if you have had no correspondance inbetween, you do not have to pay. However, if you want to miss them about. Send a letter to them stating this. If you want to be awkward, ask for a breakdown of the bill. If they reply, ask if they have a hardship policy and you would like to come to some arrangment to pay over a number of months. Suggest setting up a direct debit. Basically send as many letters to then as you can get away with as the cost in man hours is about £50 per letter. Best of luck. Come back on and tell us what you did.

I would send a cheque for 7pence and then about 8 days later send another cheque for 7pence. By the time the realise the first cheque isn't enough they will send you a bill for the rest but the cheque of 8days will have been sent but it is for too much, they would then have to owe you a penny. I am sure this will cost them money and be annoying for the company in general

Cheque. A credit card will cost them money but then you have to pay the bill. A cheque actually requires physical processing so will cost them the most in person power and it will be by far the most inconvenient.

Send 14 cheques for one pence - when i was working for a guy about three years ago he was bitichin it cost him 50p a cheque, so that seven quid in costs. An then there raising the credit note to pay you back.

Cheque. I think it still costs them to cash it as they're a company. Either that or a one pence piece in a big envelope, which may cost more to post, but it'll annoy the crap out of them.

Cheque, definetly cheque, because it would cost them £1.50 to cash it, unless they have switched Bank lately.
Someone should point out that you are mean, but as long as you know that, then go for it full power.

I heard it costs a company about 50p to cash a cheque so that could be a good option.

If you can pay by credit card, do that. It costs them everytime someone pays by credit card and if you pay off the balance at the end of the month it wont cost you anything.

Definitely the Post Office costs more to the payee than anything because they have to have a person there to take the payment (and they charge for it!!).

Send them 14p as a cheque and then they will have to cash it and send you the extra penny over-payment. If they refuse to send it you, you can then keep phoning their customer services line and angrily demand your penny back and threaten to take them to court for it!
