  1. That also dosnt surprise me, they charged my boyfriend over £600 for a £300 debt last year
  2. surely there should be a time limit for bailiffs to cough up the money when they have received it from the debtor, my boyfriend paid the bailiff a hundred pounds in June last year and the council still havnt received it, thats over a year ago,
  3. I would phone the council and explain the situation followed by a letter
  4. I found this a little disturbing and quite confusing; I am in dispute with a bailiff company over its charges. If I pay the original outstanding debt directly to the council do I still have to pay the bailiff charges to the bailiff company? their answer was; Yes. If bailiff fees have been legitimately incurred they can be pursued by the bailiff in just the same way as the original debt and additional charges will accrue for any further bailiff actions that are needed to be taken to recover those outstanding charges. Once the matter has been placed into the hands of the bailiff any payment directly to the council will normally result in the payment being returned to you and the debt, plus charges, still remaining outstanding. isnt that defeating the object??????
  5. some times we have to bite our tongues to get where we need to go .. you know how the old saying goes. 'the pen is mightier than the sword'
  6. I would write to the head of the council tax department out lining what you have said here and ask for a full explanation to why this has happened and that you are not responsible for the charges that have occurred
  7. If your car is registered as a disabled vehicle they cannot clamp it or take it away. I suggest you phone the council and have a word with them.
  8. you go girl!!!! lets see how intimidated they feel when you tower over them
  9. 6ft:eek:.. I wont hold the being blond against you being im blond myself.. but 6ft:eek:
  10. if it was me i wouldnt be standing in the eyes of the law I would be standing on the bailiff waving a victory sign.. if he is dumb enough to use a ladder to try and break in then he should bare the consequences.. going back to bailiffs using a cat flap wouldnt it be funny if they poked their head through and came face to face with a snarling dog:D
  11. do you think Herbie will have records of the people she has looked into, maybe thats a start, we dont really have to have the people themselves wanting to help just going by the posts in here, by the way .. good luck for tomorrow will be thinking of you
  12. we can but try and recontact them by posting in their thread. Im willing to give it a bash
  13. Maybe we should make a list of all the bailiff companies who have had complaints made against them, the reason for the complaint ie excessive charges or threatening behavior etc get the names of the bailiffs with out naming them in here of course and then send the list off to V Baird and get her to act on it, as she said herself she wants to get rid of the 'cowboys' in the industry
  14. there should not be 'bad bailiffs' period! they are meant to be professional people, fully trained, and working for courts etc, these people are meant to be trained, half of them dont even know what the regulations are or what standards they are meant to adhere to. I dont think its the minority that are the problem its the majority, and I think this site backs that fact.
  15. if you send them a cheque make sure its sent by recorded delivery as they often say that they havnt received it. Most bailiff companies dont except cheques either .. Id go with the standing order or just go pay it straight to the creditor and by pass the bailiffs
  16. So you agree that bulling people into paying a debt is the right way to go, charging extortionate fees that people quite simply cant afford to pay, clamping cars that people need to use for work or clamping disabled cars that some people need to carry on with their everyday lives, threatening people with bankruptcy for a £75 debt, threats of prison to people that really cant afford to pay the debts. Half the time the councils dont get their money until the bailiff has taken his chunk, yeah way to go you:roll:
