No they didnt get back to me. Waited all day for a call back

Waiting now for a call back from the council

Yes I was claiming single persons discount before I was a student

Yes he knows as I told him about the student exemption form not being taken into account and he waited a few weeks while the council reduced it. Im pretty sure I told him the first time I spoke to him that I'm a single parent. Trying to get through to the council but having trouble getting disconnected during their automated system which is very frustrating

They may have done. Unfortunately I was in quite a bad place emotionally over the past year and have buried my head in the sand when it comes to bills. Its not something I am very proud of but I'm trying to face up to it all now

Thank you for your replies. I did say I could pay half this week but he said he could not accept it and that was the end of the conversation. I don't have a car or anything of value. When I spoke to the council to check to see if there was an update on my exemption form, I said how much rossendales wanted me to pay and that I wouldnt be able to and she was dismissive and said there was nothing they could do and I had to deal with the bailiff.

I'm hoping someone can help me with advice. I am currently trying to deal with rossendales about council tax debt. Originally just over a month ago I received notice from a bailiff about 2 amounts of council tax that I owed. I admit that I have been burying my head in the sand lately. One was for 2015/2016 and the other 2016/2017. I managed to miraculously pay of the first one by scraping everything I had over a two week period. The second one i queried though as I have been a full time student since sept 2016, prior to that I was unemployed for a few months. The bailiff allowed me to contact the council to sort this out. They had claimed that I didn't give them the exemption form from my uni which I did and had a receipt to prove I had in Sept. this has been sorted I think and they have adjusted how much I owe to £253 and informed the bailiff who has said with fees it is £440 and needs to be paid immediately. I tried to ask if I could pay it in smaller chunks but he wouldn't even engage in conversation about it and said he wouldn't be allowed to do that. I have been told that he has a right to enter my house by the court. He is phoining me tomorrow expecting me to make full payment and I'm terrified as I won't be able to make the full amount. I'm a lone parent and surving on an NHS bursery and some housing benefit. I get a payment of my burset tomorrow but some of it is for rent etc. If I pay the full amount I will have absolutely nothing to buy food or put money on gas/elec meters for weeks. I'm scared that he's going to come to my house whilst my daughter is here as in think it will really frighten her. Is there anything I can do? Or is it too late now?
