The catch is, that when the move was complete they didn't actually ask me to pay anything.. And after the hassles and stress they put me through, I wasn't about to go about hassling them for an invoice.
Cut to now, and the company's UK operations have folded. They are being run out of Germany now and ZEE GERMANS have come asking for the money. I requested a discount because of the trouble and they are only offering a discount of 10%.
I'm not sure about the laws here but with the company changing hands and everything - what can this German company do? Do I actually have to pay them? I would more willing to comply if they lowered the amount as 10% for my trouble just doesn't seem fair. I tried calling them but they no longer have a number in the UK.
Anyone with any legal expertise care to comment here?

Unless the original owners sent you a letter discharging your debt then you still owe the full amount, the company changing hands makes no difference, they bought your debt along with the company.
