Hi, I have today received a notice of distress from newlyn for unpaid council tax and I am worried sick especially as the letter which was put through my letter box listed my car as goods seized and distrained to the notice. They have given me 5days to pay the amount in full and have not taken my car as yet. I had a summons in December for outstanding balance of £404.84 due in council tax and was told to make £130.0 and £133.0 in four instalments this includes £125.o court summons cost by 15/03/2010. I have not been able to make this payments due to severe financial hardship but I have every intention of paying just not been able to. However today's notice of distress by newlyn is asking that I pay £760.34 in 5 days which include bailiff charge of £230.50. Honestly speaking I do not have such funds in my account and have no way of raising such money in short notice. I am a single mother and this has got me and my son so worried all day. Please help us.
