Thankyou for your response. I did think i was going to be able to pay the bailiff in full but do not have enough as i have had other payments taken from my account. I have spoken to them again and said i have enough to pay half. they said to call them again later. Since this i have been in contact with the council that have said they will put the account on hold for one week. Will this stop the bailiffs calling. If a levy is put on my car what does this mean?

Hi Can someone please confirm for me that if a bailiff calls and i do not answer the door then they cannot do anything?

Hi Thank you for this. I am willing to pay £600 of the money owed. if i pay this directly to the council what will the bailiffs then do? i do have a car and have no choice but to park it near my flat. we live on the top floor and keep all windows closed anyway. I have spoken to the bailiff over the phone regarding payment. i hope you can help again

Hi I hope some one can help me very quickly. I have had a letter from Equita today stating that i have not contacted them despite numerous letters from them. I have contacted them and they have not responded. I have spoken to the bailiff and i am able to pay 50% of the monies owed i did think earlier in the week i would be able to pay the full amount but this is now not the case. the offices will not speak to me regarding this as it has been passed to a bailiff, i am worried about them turning up at my flat. i have contacted the council who have passed my query onto equita as i explained to them that equita will not respond to me. The council have said that i am making a reasonable offer. Can some one please tell me where i stand i do not understand a lot of the things people have put on here as i dont know all th ins and out of everything so if you can put it in simple terms it would be appreciated.

Thank you for this, when i spoke to the removals person, i said that i would pay friday, this was really stupid i know i will have the full amount to do it but means i will then end up in debt to other companies i can quite easily pay a couple of hundred without hassle.

Hi, I recently received a letter from equita regarding outstanding council tax for the current year. I had tried to contact them via their website as due to work i cannot call which i said in my contact. I had no response from this and when i have called them today as i have at last been able to they advised that the debt has been passed onto the removals officer who i have also spoken to today and they want me to pay in full on Friday. I should be able to do this however it means i cannot pay any other bill. They told me they no longer accept payment arrangements either. I wanted to make an arrangement with them which i what i have been stating from the first contact made with them which they did not respond to. I have also tried to contact the council who have told me they cannot do anything as it has been passed onto the bailiffs, surely they can stop action? i also applied for council tax benefit last year as my partner was not working due to injury and this was never applied. Can someone please help me.
