Oh I know we are jointly liable. I've contacted the council to query and arrange payment if still owed. I know the liability order is still live. What I meant is I was told that the new notice of enforcement to remove goods if payment arrangement is not made names an address I've never lived at and while I have been told that they can take action against me they would have to issue a notice of enforcement to my address too. I assume that is incorrect?

I've already emailed the bailiff and told them I don't live there. Should I now be recontacting them with my address or am I okay to continue with contacting the council directly. The enforcement sent to my ex at his address is at compliance stage. Asking him to pay the amount outstanding or further action will be taken and detailing the liability order dates. I have had no notice of this BTW since 2008 when I left the house and have lived with the same council for 8 of the last years under the same name for much of it so I am baffled as to how they have contacted my ex 150 miles away when they know exactly where I am.

I was told by an advisor elsewhere that as the enforcement has been delivered to an address I have not ever lived at that they would have to issue one to me also so I was okay to inform the bailiff that I don't live there and contact the council directly to resolve rather than through them as if my ex had not been in contact with me in regards to our two children I would know nothing of this. I have contacted the council with my address to ask to clarify if the two LO from 2005 are still valid, if we do owe it and to arrange payments.

At the end of last year my ex received a council tax notice of enforcement for a period in 2005 in which we lived together but this was sent to his new address. The enforcement names both of us but was delivered to his address only. I have not heard anything about this since we left the property in 2008 and thought it had been paid. Obviously a decade has passed and now I can't prove if it was paid or not. As a result I didn't find out about this until a fortnight ago. On advice I have contacted the bailiff by email and told them I do not live at the property they have sent the notice of enforcement to and as a result I will be contacting the council directly. I have contacted the council to ask if we do actually owe the amount and if so can I make arrangements. I am a single mother of two children with long term medical problems. I am on an income of around £780 a month on a very low self employed income and tax credits. What else should I be doing and what should I be offering them monthly. Also is correct that if the bailiff takes further action against me at a property I have never resided at that that would be wrong? I'm worried that they will issue a summons for committal at either a court 150 miles from where I live and either won't know or won't be able to get there. I don't want to give the bailiff my new address as the notice of enforcement has not been delivered to me. although of course I will inform the council.
