Thank you all for the replies, I'm very grateful, I just spoke to the counsil, they are putting the account on hold for 2weeks while I write to them providing info on my illness and when I got sick, no bailiffs will call and they said I can make a payment to the counsil direct if I want, so I'm guessing they are taking the account back from the bailiffs, they said about ct benefit they are sending me a form. They also said it could possibly be back dated. They lady was very nice and helpful who I spoke to, I was quite supprised lol, see what happens? Many thanks again guys great info. Pauly x

Hi all quick story, I own my flat and haven't payed ct since I got here about 18 months ago. As soon as I moved here I got ill and had to stop working, I had a major operation on my chest in feb this year and I'm still recovering so I'm not working, I've had loads of letters from northampton counsil to pay my tax but it's been the least of my worries as I'm broke at the mo, all my saving are tied up in the flat which I have now put on the Market to sell as I can't afford as I might not work for a while, I had a letter through today from Jacobs saying they have a liability order and I owe just over £1400 in unpaid tax, I know I don't need to let them in or talk but I would like to talk to them when they turn up on camera, if they get into the communal hall outside my door of the flat are they trespassing? I haven't contacted council or Jacobs yet and they haven't been round, the letter said hand delivered but it was put in the post box downstairs not to me at my door. Any thoughts? Many thanks xx
