I refer to recent correspondence. XXX Council has appointed you to recover my Council Tax Liability arrears for 200x of £xxxx. Firstly I would like to make you aware that I am fully aware of my rights and you will not gain entry to my home under any circumstances to levy goods and I know the fees allowed under statue and when these fees can be applied. have been making payments of £10 per week for the last 8 weeks and I calculate the balance to be £xxx.xx. Due to my circumstances I am unable to pay this the balance in one payment. I advocate a payment schedule of 19 months with 18 months payments at £43.33 and the balance of £70.06 to be paid on the 19th month to cover the principle. I understand this may seem a long time but this is a realistic offer that is affordable to me and will allow me to pay future bills issued for Council Tax without them falling into arrears. A greater amount would cause me real and factually hardship. I am able to pay the above amount on the xx of each month, as an act of good faith I have enclosed the first payment chq number xxxxxx. Please advise how you would like future payments made. My personal preference is payment by Standing Order. It should be noted that I am not at any point refusing to pay this debt but only asking for a fair payment period considering my circumstances. And if you are unable to accept my offer I will place the money aside each month until such a time the council take the account back into their management, when I will make payment of the set aside money to the council. I have enclosed a statement of my means as requested by Miss Smith in our telephone conversion today, explain here about the money and that it has been sent before. Also Miss Smith said I have to send proof that I am paying my other creditors the lowest amount they will allow and gave me 14 days to do this. I find this unwarranted and frankly an intrusion into my privacy I have written under separate cover making an official complaint to my Council over it policy to request this information as I do not believe the council should demand that they must have this information. Please also send an itemised statement of account that clearly shows what charges have been added and what for, you are required in statue to supply this information and I look forward to this within 14 days. I am sending the council a copy of this letter and requesting that it be filled with my account for further reference. I hope the above meets your approval and I look forward to your timely reply by letter. Yours faithfully, add your details to temlate letter send one to council and one to bailiff they can only charge for 2 visits £24.50 for the first and £18 for the second.
