baliffs have called

[countrybake]

hi all just after a bit of advice we had a business and have now finished we were taken to court for council tax and then we paid it minus the £20 costs balifs came round my home address asking for me i said no one lives here of that name and then phoned up my brother (partner in business) and he paid it up over the phone with the council now the balifs put a called letter through for charges and have called again and i said look this person does not live here he said yes he does because the bill was paid after he had left and i then told him to get off my property or i will call the police he said give him proof of who i am i said gett off now, he then ran back up the drive put a levy of the van that is on the drive that is not registred to me any way and saying i owe £80. i do not want to pay this to them as these sort of arrogant people make my blood boil and i would sleep better knowing i have not given in to them any advice would be appreciated thanks CB

Quick couple of questions - was this for business rates or 'normal' council tax? Also, which bailiffs firm is it?

Sorry in all honesty I think it is you being arrogant. For the sake of £20 it could be all done and dusted. I beleive in making a stand but not just because they are bailiffs.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

What 'costs' was the £20 for? Bailiff costs or court costs? And if 'the bill was paid', what are they chasing you for now? You post isn't very clear.

the bill was paid but apparantely it had gone to court and incured £20 court costs of which the baliff was after but i said no one with that name lives here and by brother paid the council the money and they had accepted this after saying oh it has gone to the baliffs today where my brother said its a good job i am paying my account in full today then where she replied yes and that was that but the baliffs want to have there cut but i would like not to as these people have made my familys life hell in the past if they have the rights to get the money even though the council has accepted the money then i suppose we will pay but if they are just trying bully tactics to get the money and have no rights then i would prefer not to thanks CB
