hi all im posting with good news .... iv been in touch with my local council and told them that the bailiffs were refusing any offers that i made unless i excepted the charges that were put on , the council told me that they had been told that the bailiffs had levyed my car and that the fee,s were justified ... when the council gave me the registration number it wasnt even my car . Anyway the end outcome was that i had a lady call me from equita who opologised and removed all fee,s and set me up with a reasonable payment plan. I want to say a massive THANKYOU for all your help and advice and i hope all the other people who are struggling with bailiffs find this forum and benfit from it as i have thankyou and kindest regards suemarie xxxxxx
