Thanks Hallowitch (and thanks for pointing me in the right direction earlier...I found the new thread in the end!!) I will defo try to complain to the council tomorrow and ask for a breakdown of van costs. I'm so annoyed that they would charge £180 for a van! I am just really worried about them attending as I have 2 young dogs and don't know how they will react...I know I will be liable for their behaviour though! will have to get this sorted asap...! P.s they have already threatened to "sort my dogs out" what ever that means

Thanks Unerverdid, I will give the council a try tomorrow and let you know if we have any joy x

Hi, I have had problems with Bristow and Sutor RE: Council Tax. I was made redundant in April and informed them that I could not keep up with the agreed payment and would make lesser payments when I could afford to do so, which I maintained. They are now saying that as I did not maintain the origional agreement the full amount is now payable and because I cannot pay it they will come and seize my goods next week even if I am not present. I have explained to them that I now have a new job and get paid at the end of the month and will pay them then, but they will not except this. I requested a break down of costs from them and have discovered that the £200 check that I sent them a few months back was used to pay a £180 bill for baliff attendance and a van the last time they visited and did not contribute to my payment plan. My partner signed a walk in possession order so that they would except payment installments and now I am worried that the baliffs will attend while I am out at work and gain entry to my property. They have already threatened my with the police and a locksmith... can anyone suggest what the best course of action is as I don't seem to be able to get through to them despite emailing and calling them constantly!???

Thanks Interestrateripoff...I'm new to this and didn't know where to go!! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction x
