Thank you for the letter template I will send that to them today.

I have put the request for a breakdown in writing more than once to them and they outright refuse to give me one until I pay the account off.

So am I correct in thinking I should pay the council directly for the Council Tax debt, and refuse to pay anything apart for the attending to levy fee of £24.50 to Rossendales as I own nothing in my fathers home and currently live at no fixed abode (which they are aware of and have confirmed that they have that on record - yet still came to my fathers home) Where to I stand legally if I refuse to pay the other fees? Can they try to enter to levy goods on their fees after the council has been paid? Could they take me to court for refusing to pay their ridiculous fees?

Thank you for your advice guys

Yes Rossendales informed me yesterday via the phone that they are aware of the fact that it is my fathers home and I do not live there, I just have my mail sent there. They have no notice of seizure and I do not own a car.

I was wondering if anybody could help me regarding council tax debt that has been handed over to Rossendales . The original debt is for £216, which i despute as I moved out of the property a month early but cant prove where i moved to as I ended up staying in squatted property. I realise this is kind of my fault and Im going to have to pay. I have not been able to pay due to having difficulty finding employment. I reached an agreement for the council to take money out of my benefit - but they failed to tell me that it would take them some months to process and by the time they had sorted out taking money from my benefit I had gone back into full time education in the hope of increasing my chances of getting a job. The first thing I knew about the failed payments was when I got a letter from Rossendales demanding money from me. I have contacted the council I owe money to but they are unwilling to help what so ever, even though I have no savings, no income apart from my student loan and I don't even have a fixed address! Rossendales have visited my fathers house once in person that I know about, and dropped off a liability letter asking me to pay in full in 24 hours, but they failed to write down how much I owe them. I phoned their head office and the bailiff in charge of my account and have written to the head office asking for a breakdown of all charges I have incurred through them, which they refuse to give me until I pay the account! All they will tell me is that I owe over £450! Debtline has assured me that they can only charge me just over £44 for two visits so if thats true Rossendales are over charging me by around £190?? Can anybody tell me exactly how much they can legally charge me? I have written a complaint to the council, Rossendales and the enforcement services association due to the fact that they refuse to give me a breakdown of my account. Would the best option be just to pay the council direct? If i did this would I still be liable to these ridiculous charges from Rossendales? They havnt been into my fathers house and never will get in, I own nothing of value apart from a laptop and speakers which are vital to my university course and I have never made a refusal to pay my debt, in fact I have been actively trying to pay the debt off. I can afford to pay the council the £216 next month (which will leave me short of money to live on but I just want this over with now) Can anybody offer me some advice on what to do. Thank you very much
