I will ask her, but from what I gather from her (inbetween trying to sort mine lol) she has been in contact with the bailiff company and they have given her a list of items that were added and confirmed that the original item has been deleted? In house council one. (will have to ask what council) cant see if he is certified I have done check myself and nothing comes up under his name. Liabilty order £1,200. He did not gain entry at any time. She has told me that it was done outside house, as I have warned about letting people in even if they say they are from an energy company. All she has she has told me is notice of seizure and walking pocession paperwork. Does this help.

On the notice of seizure there only needs to be one signature his. So what does she do now. If he puts one through her door with items that he has added on where does that leave her? She only signed for 1 item. From what I can make out if he scrubbed off her item on original form then added on that form thats fine, she still has the origninal as proof. What happens if he makes out a complete new form? From what has gone on he has said he has added on original form? Thank you I do hope that makes sense lol.

It isnt me lol! I just heard about the prison thing through the grape vine. So I dont know what the circumstances were. So cant comment. Just thought people would like to know.

Hi people Can someone explain this to me: You try and make payment arrangements with the council direct, they say no. They send round their internal council bailiffs - who accept payment arrangement. Payments you make go direct to the council against your council tax reference number and not to the internal bailiffs. Surely it would be better for the council to accept payment arrangements rather than put you in more debt with Bailiffs fees? I just dont understand this at all. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this when the council are getting it? Thanks. benny1

Hi Guys, I have another question for you. It doesnt concern me advice for someone. Now she signed a walking pocession order on the doorstep for one item. (unpaid council tax) She checked and forgot to metion the item was on hp. well she rang bailiff office to be told that they would wipe that off. Well she then gets notification that the bailiff has put on order other items now some of these items she doesnt own, but on her paperwork it states just the one item. Any advice on what to do? I said I would ask you guys as she doesnt even own a computer to come on herself. Also, a certain council (not mine) has committed someone to prison for non payment of council tax they started their sentence yesturday 42 days!

Ok update: Charges dropped. Car written off paperwork. I have pm'd Tomtubby for some advice before I say anymore. Thank you guys.

I know, they themselves never break the law (NOT)! Anyway the chief executive has forwarded all my emails from me to the Manager of the Bailiffs dept for Urgent attention. In the meantime letters are just itching to get to the post office and wing their way to the relevant people.

So have these Bailiffs broken the law? Have pm'd you Tomtubby.

Thank you. I have done letter for council and am now going to do letter to the CE. Even though I have emailed him the details and telephoned his office. I will keep all copies of letters sent and will be sending 1st class recorded delivery. I have not intention of phoning council or bailiff as they can be so rude! I have given the council 7 days to reply which I think is long enough. Can you tell me more about a Freedom of Information Request please. Thank you

Pm'd you back.

I will put a copy of the report in with my letter to the council. Does this mean then they cant take the car? Sorry if I seem a bit dim.

Thank you. Just got of phone with Chief Executives secretatary who has asked me to forward her a copy of the emil sent to the CE late last night. She said she wasnt sure if he had started to act on it as he does work in the evenings to. I will write to the council to I intend to send letter to Bailiff company etc., with copies of documentation that the car is not mine. As I said I will pay the £100 when it is due so that is not the issue. The issue is levy on goods which are not mine not did he ask me if car was mine (I forgot to say it wasnt mine but thats not the point). I will get everything in writing to.

So do I ring council tax dept or the man (bailiff) who came round yesturday?

Hi Again just found some more info for you and original paperwork. The car is on finance (HP). It is not my car as papers I have state. The cars finance was started on 06/06/08 and is for 48 mnths. Now what? Thank you

Morning, just checked paperwork and on one signed bit of paperwork the Notice and seizure of goods and inventory it says Statutory Levy Fee £63 Enforcement Costs £200 then under he has written Charges to be reveiwed. Does that help?

Hi, Liabilty order was for £1366.92. There have been no charges added from Bailiff as yet, as he has put a note on paperwork charges to be reviewed. Also, that payment arrangement to be reviewed in 3 months. I have also emailed the Chief Executive of the Council concened. Is there anything else I need to do?

Tahnk you

Hi I am new and could do with some help. Lovely forum by the way so full of info. I have got in arrears with this years council tax and was trying to sort it out direct with the council, but they just ignored everything as usual. Well this morning one of their own bailiffs came round, I did explain the situation etc., and he said he could make an arrangment with me and that I could pay £100 amonth, which is fine. NOT ONCE DID I LET HIM IN! He said that all payments were to be made to council at their office cash office and not direct to him as he was a council bailiff. on the 6th of the month starting 6th sept. which is fine. Now he done all the paperwork and on it he had put down a levy on a car on my drive which is not mine but my sons. I explained that to him and said that the car wasnt mine and I have reg docs to prove it is someones elses. He said he didnt want to see them and as long as I kept to the agreement there wouldnt be a problem. Well I thought you have been told that it isnt mine so I signed paperwork. I have no objection to paying the £100 this is what I offered the Council direct and they still ignored it. Now, after the initial shock I suddenly thought hes an idiot the cars not mine so he cant take it therefore even though I have signed I signed for them to levey on goods that I dont own Doh! This afternoon I have done a covering letter to the Council Bailiffs stating they have levied on a car that I do not own and I have enclosed copies of the registration documents for them to put on file. I also stated that this is by no means a way of me trying to get out of paying what was arranged. I have also been in touch with a solicitor who says that I have done the right thing by sending them copies of the paperwork etc., and I will be sending her copies to. I will be sending it recorded delivery to. As I said guys and gals, I intend to pay what has been agreed. I will of course be keeping all receipts and paperwork. How stupid was I in signing for something that wasnt mine. I know I am safe as long as I keep paying monthly. So 2 days before payment due down to council offices and make cash payment into the account. Bailiff also gave me his mobile number and name and said if I couldnt get down to the offices at any time he would come and collect if I wanted just give him a call and issue me a receipt for it when handed over. I intend to make a nuscience of myself and everytime I make a payment text him and tell him its paid. I have to mobile phones and will only use the one I give to creditors. My solicitor said that once they have the documentation that the car is not mine there is nothing they can do. Any thoughts guy, at least I got the payment plan I wanted. Also on paperwork he has written Charges to be reviewed and payment to be reviewed in 3 months. If you want name of council I will gladly let you have it!
