The debt is for non-domestic rates. I don't have the walking levy fees exactly with me, but they are for around £500 twice. There are no specific items listed on the Notice. Thanks for your help

I have been told that a bailiff should not take assets unless they are valuable enough to pay off a significant part of the bill. What they should do - I am told - in such a case is write to the creditor saying there are insufficient goods. Is that correct and if so what is the backing/law/legal case for it? A bailiff visited the premises and agreed that payment will be acceptable by the end of July. He insisted on taking a walking possession order. However, there are no assets of any value. About £200 was the estimate of the attending bailiff and assets are worth £400 at the most. The only assets are old/obsolete computers and second-hand desks, and those are necessary for the business. I am led to believe this may be wrong because: - A bailiff should not take assets unless they are valuable enough to pay off a significant part of the bill. - Moreover, the cost of removal and sale would be more than the sale value of the assets. The fees for walking possession are 100s of pounds. Is it true that the correct action for the bailiff was to have sent a report to the creditor saying there were insufficient assets to act upon? And as such shouldn't charge fees for walking possession? Grateful for any advice and legal cases as evidence.

Thanks for the comment. The case is solid enough - the ones claiming the debt didn't do the work. It is still not done. I hope they do go to court. I doubt whether they will as they will have to travel to my local court. As it happens I have reported the company who claim the debt, or just sold it off - Indesit/Hotpoint - to Trading Standards about their procedures. To digress, I bought a Hotpoint washing machine, dishwasher, and tumble dryer, plus a Cannon cooker which is made by the same firm in the same purchase. All except the tumble dryer have been problematic and within a year the paint work on the cooker was rusting from inside and the first two broke just after a year. I would never buy anything from their range again as they are consistently poorly produced. Plus when both the dishwasher and washing machine broke they wanted to charge £180 (2 x £90 for each appliance) for 1 visit despite the parts already being guaranteed.

I have had a similar experience to others here - about a debt I don't owe. The address of Trevor Munn is Easterly House, Towpath, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2PF. Fax 01932 247961. Tel 01932 269153. I have written asking why they haven't taken court action and made a formal complaint, which they as solicitors will have to respond. Then I'll complain to the Law Society. They will soon get tired of sending out standard letters if they have to do some work. I also faxed ARC telling them I would expect damages for harassment if I they called any more and that they must go to court.
