I guessed that. I wouldn't be here if I had the money to pay it lol!

See my previous thread in relation to this article (http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bailiffs-sheriff-officers/195212-rossendales.html). I emailed the council and Rossendales after my last thread, stating willingness to pay by installments, and refusal of bailiffs coming in. I received a reply from the council saying that its out of their hands (as I thought would be the case) but have had no reply to Rossendales emails. This morning a bailiff posted another hand delivered note saying: FINAL NOTICE I must now give you 24 hours statutory notice of my intentions to recall and remove your effects, sufficient to satisfy the debts and costs. To keep costs to a minimum, I ask that you contact me to arrange a time suitable for us to be allowed access to your premises. Should you wish to avoid this distressing course of action, and the resulting costs incurred, please contact me immediately on (phone number included) to arrange full payment of your outstanding debt. At the bottom of the note he handwrote: *I may remove goods in your absence. *Removal date 24/04/09 Is this the case? Will he be able to get access to my premises without me letting him in? I am getting very worried now, and their lack of reply is making me think he wont believe that ive tried to rectify the situation via email. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all I have received, like many others in this forum, a letter from a bailiff stating a magistrates liability order/distress warrant for council tax. The bailiff visited me in December and requested I pay £120 of my debt within a few days. Unfortunately I let him in to talk about this. I did not sign anything, and gave him just my phone number to collect payment. The day came when he said he'd call and I didn't hear from him. The next day I left him a voicemail saying I had the money should he want to come and collect. I didn't hear anything back until last week when I got the hand-delivered note. It says: I will re-attend your address at my convenience and may remove goods even in your absence. Is this the case? I realise I have made a big mistake letting him in in the first place, but like I said, nothing was signed and only a phone number was exchanged. I am worried he will come back and try to force entry. Can he do this?
