  1. Then if this is their first visit they can only charge you £22.50 on top of your original fine...DO NOT LET THEM IN...dont be bullied by them and keep calm,theres lots more on here who can give you more help than me...i know its easy to say but dont worry.
  2. Fantastic news...im so pleased...today i recieved this letter Dear Sir/Madam Re Council Tax Thank you for your £39 payment. We can confirm your account is paid in full and the Local Authorities balance has been paid to them direct. Therefore no recovery action will take place If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact this office Yours faithfully.... I am so pleased i cant stop smiling...this time last week i was a complete wreck..i honestly believe the reason that baliff didnt show was because when i spoke to him on the phone on the monday i sounded like i knew what i was talking about and not some frightened woman...he was asking for £216.50 and i was ready to believe him...i paid £53 direct to the council...even thought the baliffs letter said DO NOT do this and i sent Jacobs their £22.50 and £16.50 for 1st and 2nd visits...he was asking for £80 for a van and £90 for a levy when in fact he hadnt stepped inside my house..it felt great to send that cheque and know i was in the right...i was willing to hand that over last week just to get rid of him as it scared the living daylights out of me...THANK YOU so much to everyone who helped,i cant thank you enough...Louise x
  3. Sue im new to this site also so dont know much but if you do send a cheque make sure you send it recorded delivery...photocopy everything...always correspond by letter then they cant deny telling you anything Louise
  4. DO NOT let them into your house lil,you let them in and they can get in without your permission next time,hes lying to you and you dont even have to open the door to him...there are lots of posts on here to help you but dont believe everything they tell you...good luck Louise
  5. Scott first of all DO NOT allow them into your house,tell your girlfriend this also,i think they just love it when a woman is the only one at home,they CANNOT charge you for a van without making a Levy..List...of your possessions first...and if you dont let them in they cant do this...i had the same problem as you on tuesday and after reading through this site and looking through old posts im 100% i can deal with these blokes...dont throw a wobblie and dont phone them,when you make contact always write them a letter and send it recorded delivery so they have to sign for it...it then proves you sent it...make records of times and places and photocopy all letters,cheques you send anywhere... yes you can demand a break down of charges...funny though..when i started talking like i knew what i was on about the bloke hasnt been back...good luck Louise
  6. Whats a paper trail???..sorry to sound stupid...i have written to Jacobs and enclosed this cheque telling them what its for...and its gone registered post,ive also spoken to the lady at the council...is that not enough???...ive also photocopied everything and am keeping notes of times and visits.
  7. Im going to the post office this morning to pay the original bill,im then going to send a cheque to Jacobs with the amount for the 1st and 2nd visit...i will make sure i send it where they have to sign for it at their end...i will then ring the lady at the council and explain to her what ive done and why i did it...hopefully this will work...hes tried to charge me for a levy and a van...he hasnt been in my house to make a levy therefore he cant charge me for a van..will let you know how this goes...thanks everyone Louise
  8. He hasnt turned up...ive been sat here with the room door open since 4pm so i know he hasnt been,theres no letter through the letterbox as i can see it from where im sat,i only have an incoming phoneline and i have no credit on my moble,the nearest phone box is a mile away so i cant ring him and why should i,im so blooming annoyed...do you think me ringing the council and seeing the CAB has made him think twice about coming to be bossy with me again...he did state on the phone yesterday he was coming between 4-6pm,i have small children here i cant get things done as im scared i will miss the door...what do i do Louise
  9. Ok he should be here soon,i have it in my head what i am going to say to him and over the last 24 hours have learnt more from people on here than anyone else could have told me,i contacted the council again who agreed he did sound as he was taking me for a ride,they have assigned me a lady who i have spoken to before who promises me she will sort all this out and if i do over pay she will get me my money owede back...i cant wait to see his face when i start reeling stuff off to him,yesterday i was ready to just give up...today im fighting for my rights...thank you everyone for your advice but there is one i have to THANK as he gave it to me straight...blfuk1...you may get some gip in here but im glad you told me straigh...thanks everyone x
  10. Is a balliff allowed to take my husbands car that is in his name...the bill is in my name?
  11. No hes had NO entry nor would i allow this...hes charged me for a levy but hasnt been in to make a list and has charged me for a van...i saw no van...hes coming tmrw,i have been given a couple of ideas but how do i go about this wothout getting more of a bill...
  12. Last october (2005) i forgot to pay the last £53 of my council tax...i did agree to make a payment last october then completly forgot about it,i heard no more about this but did start paying 2006s council tax...about 5 weeks ago i recieved a letter from my council saying as i hadnt payed the £53 they had handed it over to the baliffs...i asked if they could withdraw this as i had just forgotten...no excuses just forgotten im sorry i will pay it now...they told me no. About 4 weeks ago a firm called JACOBS who are certified came to my door,i said i would get it sorted but then my gran died and i went to Scotland for the funeral and to sort everything out (belongings)...last weeks he came back and left a removal of goods notice and it had gone up to £169.50...this was on the wednesday,on the friday he came back and it was £219.50...ow can this be? This morning i went to the CAB and a woman there rang him and asked what the charges were...he said £22.50 for the 1st visit...£16.50 for the 2nd...and £90 for the 3rd...he then changed his mind and said it was £80 for a van and a further £90 for a levy??? I told the woman he was always changing his mind,she agreed and argued with him but he wouldnt budge,she told him when he comes to my house tmrw at 4pm to have a breakdown of the charges...even when you add it all up where the hell does £219.50 come from,it should be more,he wont speak to me about it and his head office said i have to talk to him...this money is more than my husbands complete weekly wage...the lady also asked him if he would take a reduced payment and he said no...i dont know what to do...i havent let him in and wont let him in but im petrified...i hate the fact he can smugly turn up and take anything he wants...im not disputing i owe money...just his charges...any advice would be welcome...louise
