24 hour letter what a crock he never turns up when he says he is going to. Last week it was 48 hours and we are taking your stuff now its 24 hours and we are taking your stuff but he didnt show he does tend to come a day or 2 later then what he says. Question can he break into my house while im out if no one is in, he has never been in my house before

I only got a receipt from the council showing balance nil no LO as they are useless. They are still saying it's out of there hands I have paid them. I just don't want him taking the car with the baby seats in it

Anyone as he is coming tomorrow and I am trying to work out the best course of action as I feel his fees are way over the top and he doesnt and says tough how do I get them to take me to court over this which they wont do, oh and i dont have 218 anyhow as im on job seekers

It's started again after a few months not hearing from them. My lawyer could not help each letter she sent they sent one back saying are fees are with the law and that the 110 pound fee was for attendance now and not a van. He has been around twice now in a week first letter 48 hour notice to remove goods even if we are not in. And today 24 hour notice to remove even if we are not in. It's upset my wife so much she packed a bag and took our kids to her mums as he keeps trying to get in and she is scared as he comes when I'm not in. Not sure what to do council say I'm paid nothing to do with them. Lawyer can't seem to help. Any ideas

If that's true that's good news as I keep worrying he is gonna take my car as it's vital to my family wellbeing they don't take it

Any thoughts on these charges anyone

Got a letter today of fees says Council tax due to cornwall council Balance outstanding at today's date £228 (it's gone up by £10) On back it says Fees 29/11/10 debt £492.10 10/12/10 visit 1 £24.50 26/01/11 visit 2 £18.00 2/3/11 sch 5 head h £24.50 2/3/11 attendance/van £110 2/3/11 levy fee £41 Then below shows payments to council If you want a breakdown of those just ask

He would have the authority of the council untill I paid them now they are acting alone(councils words not mine) They wont do anything as they keep saying my balance is zero and my account is closed I dont mind paying the 57 pounds but it wont end it there they want 218 and I am guessing wont stop untill they get it or take my family car. Its my making my wife ill who is not sleeping as well due to our newborn They are acting without the council now but say they are doing there bidding I have got Morgan legal on the case as we speak. If it was as easy as paying the 57 and it ending I would believe me. I sent that letter the other day asking for break down of fees Council said they will send me a letter showing LO is done but its gonna take some days as they are sending out new council tax statements as its end of year for them

4 days so far no sign of bailiff he was ment to come Tuesday as per his removal letter. It's stressing me out keep moving my car away each day I want it to end now really. I still unaware if he can charge the fees that he did and if he can take my car for fees only

Also since when could bailiffs put you on ANPR to be tracked wherever you go?

I'll wait to see if the council do send me a letter saying saying LO is satisfied or not. Jacobs and the council seem to have no clue and Jacobs even lie. The council said the costs incurred for the LO are payable to them and I have also paid the councils fees as well as the arrears. I know how a legal aid helping me and the have assigned morgans to my account who will fight my case for free from now on The most I will pay is for the 2 visits no more

Just spoke to the council they are sending me a letter comfirming the LO is closed as far as they are concered and CAB showed me this from the goverment website If you pay off the debt to the creditor but not the bailiffs’ charges that you owe, the bailiffs can’t take goods from you just to recover their own costs. They'll have to take action against you themselves to get the money back. So he cant come for my car after all its a lie, what should I do if he turns up for it? Spoke to Jacobs direct they put a manager on the phone who said that the money i paid to the council pays there fees first so i owe the council which is another lie he then said they are going to take my car and I cant stop them and they will get all the money from me no matter what I do. He was quite snooty with me and in the end felt like we were going around in circles as he kept trying to talk over me saying they have all the power and I have none Its the last time I am going to call them I wash my hands of speaking to them other then letters if need be

I was paying the council before even the first visit I just finished paying a day after his second visit maybe thats why he came?? I have got a letter in hand as per post 15 ill mail it today any idea for a template for the council too please? Thanks

I know this might be asking to much but can someone show me a template for what I need to send to the council I see the bailiff one on post 15 so I will send that I am not the best at letter writing. Thank you so much in advance

Also just spoke to him on the phone and he said he is working within the law and I know nothing and also he noticed my car is gone and that he is going to put me on the ANPR and if my car comes up anywhere he will have it clamped and removed and when I told him I have a newborn as my wife had a C Section at the weekend he said thats a load of crap which it isnt. He is upsetting my wife so much now and the council dont want to know. He also hung up on me again

Bailiff turned up this morning while I was out in the Car. My wife rang me when he was at the door I just told her not to answer, after a few minutes he dropped a letter through the door saying I still owe £218 to the council for unpaid council tax and he would be back in 24 hours to remove goods. I spoke to the council today they said I am cleared but bailiffs would want there fees and there is nothing they can do as I have paid them its out of there hands now. I asked what the fees were they charged and on there website it says this 10/12/2010 £24.50 I never got a letter for this date may have gone to a previous address?? 26/1/11 £18.00 2/3/11 Levy £41 Attendence fee £110 and visit fee of £24.50 on the 2nd of March I spoke with him and all he did was hand me a letter at the door and walk away as I told him I am paying the council and have been before he even started his visits. Thats when he looked mad and got in is car and thought how can I change him more fees I am guessing. I need my car as I have 2 babies and a sick wife and for when I start work as I am looking and no buses leave my vilage that is in the middle of nowhere What now?

I'll ring the council on Monday and check. What are the rules on speaking to someone in charge as when I spoke to Jacobs some young annoying girl kept saying speak to the bailiff over and over and no I can't speak to anyone in charge.

It's Cornwall council but I live in Cambridgeshire now. The council said as far as they are concerned my balance with them is nil so they wash there hands of me. It seems Jacobs no longer have the backing of the council anymore

I rang the council today as the bailiff company won't talk to me. Council said I owe them nothing as far as they are concerned it's over

The car is really old on it's last legs brought it 2 years ago for 1200. I have moved it away from my home anyhow What will happen if I don't pay the bailiff fees?

Oh right no problem. What should I be doing now as my mInd set is they are getting nothing as the council and I are square but I can't keep my car parked away forever

Do I still need to do that letter even though I have paid back the council in full now

The council told me yesterday when I settled what fees the bailiffs have added no sign of them so far today. Although he did say when I spoke to the bailiff last he is sending it back for committal? On the 2nd march he gave me one letter saying bill was now 640 up from 520. Then walked to his car came back and posted the notice of distress with my car on inventory It says outstanding 422 levy and walking possession fees 41 other fees 67+110 balance 640 I have no more money and a new baby and injured wife to care for I don't need this hassle from them

Yes to all of those

I had an old council tax bill that I was unaware about come back to bite me I arranged with the council to pay 10 pound a week it was about a 1000 pound in total I got it down to 520 before I lost my job It took me a while to get a new job but in the meantime I could not afford the the weekly repayments for a while. I started paying again but it was too late it went to Jacobs bailiffs I still continued to pay the council but this time at 20 per week to catch up I even tried speaking to the council but they keep saying it's in the hands of the bailiffs deal with them you can't decide what you pay it's up to them Still paying the bailiff left a letter hand delivered saying I owe 524 even though I had been paying and it was down to 450 this was end of jan Nothing happened until 2nd march where he knocked at my door I answered and he handed me a letter I said I was paying the council he said he didn't care and left sitting in his car outside. He came back after 10 minutes and placed a notice of distress for my car and then left Since then my balance with the council is 390 which I got the money together from family and paid to the council. The council informed me there is 218 bailiff fees I need to pay them, I asked what for they said 3 visits a levy and for a van on his last visit First off he came in no van just a small VW so that's a lie for a start I want this all over but I'm not paying for made up fees I'm jobless at the moment and my wife is just out of hospital after a c section and we have 2 babies to care for we don't need this. The council have been so hard on us as I only get 80 a week hardship He is coming back tomorrow for my car and to try to get in my house. I won't let him and I have moved my car far away as I need it for follow up hospital visits for my wife and for work when I find some My wife is scared I can't sleep about this I have no more money to give now Please help!
