Hi just wondered if anyone could advise where we stand on this. At start of year had two bailiff visits re CT arrears anyway to cut long story short were able to pay in full a couple of months ago, full payment of amount outstanding plus £42.50 for fees was paid direct to council. Have now started to receive letters from bailiffs again including one hand delivered advising removal notice re unpaid council tax of £42.50! Presuming council haven't passed on fees although made clear at time payment was made that fees were included. Can I now insist they pay this over and tell bailiffs to get it from council??

That's great will get it off this afternoon -- thanks again!

Thanks for that I have done letter and e mailed to council setting out payment schedule already made 1st instalment online to them should i write to bailiffs advising that as they refused payment now paying direct to council and repeat they not getting entry etc??

Hi all - we had a first visit bailiff letter hand delivered 2 weeks ago re CT arrears. Having read through some of posts on here I sent letter to bailiff office offering monthly payments won't let them in etc and advising awaiting a review of housing/council tax benefits. Copied to council. Received a reply last week with cheque for first instalment returned saying needed to make appointment with bailiff to do paperwork within 3 days or more fees will be incurred. Obviously a ploy to gain access so ignored and paid council first instalment online have done letter to council to tell them that as payment proposal refused by bailiff have paid them and will continue to do so. Wondered if there is anything else I should do. Do I write again to bailiff office to tell them paying council now or not? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
