I have been trying to get in contact with stanford and greens in regards to a £560 C.T (council tax) debt which has accumilated.

I have been thretened recently by this company that they may file for a warrant for arrest under the council tax evasion law.

Needless to say this scared me

i am 26 with a cleen record

I wrote a letter to them with an attached income and expenditure form from step change

( a debt management charity stating i could only afford to pay them £17 a month.

Said letter was sent in september 2017 with no reply or conversation with them.

but last week with above threat to seize goods or a warrent for my arrest.

What can i do as this is now affecting my daily life due to me suffering with anxiety and depression.

Thank you

Chris

Hello and welcome to CAG.

I'll move your thread to the main bailiffs section rather than the discussion forum. People should be along later with advice for you.

Best, HB

In the nearly 4 months since writing to Stamford & Green have you tried calling the company? Have you emailed them? Lastly, have you tried calling the local authority?

Chris, please can I assure you that you will certainly not be arrested.

Whilst an enforcement agent should not be making threats such as this (threat of arrest or committal), it is sadly the case such a threat many times leads to payment being made or a debtor 'taking their head out of the sand' (as appears to have happened in your case today).
