update i seem to be owing council tax for 5 different periods, totalling £2840.38, i am not querying this whyte & co therefore send me 5 different sets of letters each time, current costs stand at £212.50 plus levy fees of £211 despite them never having put a levy on any goods, this can't be correct ? i have had several letters from them, the latest saying the liability order would be returned "nulla bona" which may lead to an application for my committal to prison i also emailed them saying i was willing to set up a repayment schedule and received this response any advice on my next step greatly appreciated thanks again

thanks no, a bailiff has never entered my home, previously i have just set up payment plans with them i will contact the council today and clarify what i owe them, do i not have to pay all the extra charges then ?

they said i had to call them by tomorrow ? should i ? would i be better sending a letter ? i am aware it has to be paid but obviously only at a rate i can afford sorry for all the questions

whyte & co

thanks, thought it seemed odd its croydon council, i dont remember them telling me they would instruct bailiffs although it is possible if i'm honest. i'm sure i have lapsed payment plans with them in the past

hi all, excellent forum apologies for a new thread, have read through a lot and not really any clearer i have quite a bit of council tax owing, just shy of £3k although that probably includes a lot of bailiff's charges etc i was paying 120/month to bailiffs until i lost my job in february at which point i stopped am now being chased by a new set of bailiffs, i called them on monday to explain that i am still unemployed and to try and set up a new payment plan the woman i spoke to said the bailiffs would have to come round and levy (?) my goods before they could discuss a payment plan she said i had until thursday to call them back and agree to this, i've never heard of this procedure, is she correct ? any advice greatly appreciated, i have a wife and kids here and i really dont want to live in fear of a knock at the door and strangers wandering in to take the telly away many thanks
