I owe them the money Iam not trying to say I don't I have been paying it off all I wanted to know was if anyone knew what that phrase meant!! I think I'll jut ring them.

Yes Iam not disputing owing them money I jut wondered what the term subject to court proceedings meant does it mean they are taking me to court or they could do?

Just got my new council tax bill and it says £1700 subject to court proceedings. I do owe this but have been paying it off I just wondered what 'subject to court proceedings' actually means? Does it mean they are taking me to court or they could take me to court? Thanks.

no the bailiff hasn't been in, i have been writing to the council and the bailiff. i just dont want the bailiff knocking as, as i mentioned above i live with a pregnant person and very soon will be a newborn baby.

hi, yes that is what I owe today. I havent confirmed anything with the council as they haven't answered any of my letters. I can see my council tax account online and I can see what I owe and what payments I have made. That is the only way I know what is going on. I have paid at least £10 a week most weeks more than that, for at least a year. I will write a couple of letters today to the CEO of the council and my local councillor, should I also complain through the government ombudsmen?

sorry what is a regulation 46 complaint?

Thanks I have kept paying the council, I just transfer the money direct from my account to their account so they can't refuse it!

The bailiffs have said they have applied to the DVLA to check the ownership of the car but this was a while ago now!

it is for about £1500, Redbridge Council & Newlyn Bailiffs.

I have been making payments for over a year but because they were too low the Council wouldnt set an arrangement so in September I got a letter from the bailiff thats when it all began. I have 3 liability orders its all my own fault for not paying in the past but I have been making a payment once a week for over a year and have paid off £1000 of the arrears but they still sent it to the bailiff as there was no arrangement. I have written to the council 3 times (all recorded delivery), the last letter to the head of service and I have never received a reply these letters go back to October 2011. I now need to know who to complain further too, I am informing them of my situation, asking them to take the debt back and now complaining that I have not received any reply to my previous letters oh and the bailiff levied a charge on a vehicle which is not mine!

thanks.

Thanks for the list but where it says pregnant women it doesnt say if it has to be the debter. I wrote to the bailiff and said I was living with a pregnant woman but they said that I wouldnt be classed as vulnerable, but I guess they would say that. I wrote back saying according to the above standards pregnant women are classed as vulnerable, I am now waiting their reply now.

It is for Council Tax arrears.

Hi, can bailiffs come in if a baby is living at the property? Also if I live with a pregnant person and soon to be newborn baby would I be classed as vulnerable person?

Thanks.

Sorry I don't understand what you are replying to, what is post 10?

It's council tax in my name

Thanks

hi, can anyone tell me if i live with a friend who is 7 months pregnant do i fall into vulnerable situations cateogry? thanks

yes

Hi which one was u saying yes to? Thanks

hi, if i rent out a room in my property and the tenant is 7 months pregnant would this be considered a vulnerable household according to the bailiffs.

thanks

if they dont do they have to follow the guidelines set out by the office of fair trading??

thanks

Hi, does anyone know if Newlyn Bailiffs have a consumer credit licence, or how i can find out if they do.

thanks

Hi, A few weeks ago I had a letter from Newlyn bailiffs for outstanding council tax from a liability order from may 2010,

i had been making payments to the council but it wasnt enough and they refused to set an arrangement so i had just been paying anyway.

newlyn sent me a letter levying a charge on a car which isnt mine (i dont even drive)

i wrote to them by recorded delivery to say the £216 charges were unlawful,

that they had levied a charge on a car which is nothing to do with me

and that i would be continuing to make payments to the council.

this was just over 2 weeks ago and i have had no acknowledgement of my letter

today i had 2 phone calls from them and a voicemail stating that they were coming to remove my goods and to avoid this i needed to call them, - i didnt.

my question is how long do i need to give them to respond to my letter and who do i complain further to if they dont respond.

i also copied in the council and they havent responded either.

Hi, I am looking for all the advice I can get! I have got myself into arrears with my Council Tax over the last 5 years as such I now approx £1000 in unpaid Council Tax. I have been unable to set an arrangement with the Council as I have had many arrangements in the past and broke them all. So since about Feb I have made a payment of at least £10 per week every week without fail I am also up to date with this years council tax so after paying £130 a month for this years I cannot pay more than £10 a week. A liability order was issued in May 2010.

Last Thursday I came home and had received a hand delivered letter from Newlyn Bailiffs saying they had levied on a car which isn't even mine and saying I have 5 days to pay. They have added on £216.50 in charges as well.

So I have written 2 letters one to newlyn saying I am making my payments to the council, their charges are illegal and the car isnt mine and the other 1 to the council asking them to take back the debt (which i doubt they will), telling them i am going to make payments direct to the council and informing them of newlyns conduct.

have i done the right thing? does the fact that they have levied on a car even if it isnt mine mean they can now come into my home and use force? I know bailiffs can only charge for 2 visits but can they come to your home more than that and just not charge?

Thanks
