[tottys]

hi

sorry i dont have anywhere to park.

but filed paperwork with county court about both bailiffs, the court has only one name.

so i will have to go to county court

i also put another letter into the council, asking them to pay £1500 for the time ive spent, and talking to bailiffs lol.

ok what paperwork will i need, i have letters for bailiffs and council, and a letter from my solictors to bailiff, i have been told bailiffs replyed with fax showing their costs!!!

hi all,

wanted some help i had a debt collector call out a few weeks ago for council tax payments told him i didn't have the money, so he asked if he could come in,i told him he would have to call back as i was trying to get me and my children ready for school,but he told me no he couldn't that he would not be back in the area again that day so stupid as i am i let him come in he told me that's all i had to do was sign a form and he would give me a number to phone and sort out a payment plan with them. he also noted down a few items that he would take if i didn't keep up with the agreement and went.i phoned to make an arrangement and they wanted £100 pw off me so i put the phone down have since phoned back to tell them that i can afford £50 pw but was told that it was to late and i have to pay £500 or they would be back for my belongings.

is it right that they have to be registered with the courts cos i have been on the public reg and they r not on there.also are they supposed to show me their certificate that they are registered.

lastly can they only take the items that they listed or can they take anything they want.

would be grateful for all help thanks all

I am sorry, I dont know the answer to your question. I am just giving your thread a little nudge, I am sure someone who will be able to help will be along soon.

[hallowitch]

tottys could you please start your own thread and give as much info as you can

this will help others to help you

[tottys]

there is no law saying you have to pay the bailiff pay the council direct on line do not let the bailiff into your home if you have a car that is not on hp move it away from your house

remember a bailiff will tell you anything to get money out of you

hi have just read your quote about paying the council instead of the baillif i am in a bit of a stick sit i stupidly let the baillif in as he said there was no other time he could come back and as i was stressed trying to get three kids ready for school i gave in and let him in now i have tried to get the council to agree for me to pay them insteed of baillifs but they have said no chance and now the baillifs are saying that cos i have not paid them £100 pw they wil be coming to take my belonings,unless i pay up£500 where they think i have this kind of money i dont know.

what can i do know also can they only take what they put down on the list or do they then come and take what they like???please if you can help let me know asap thanks so much totty

hi all have just been reading through all the threads on here there is some good advice on here,

now i really need some help i owe £900 in unpaid council tax some form previous year and some from a diff address.had a bailiff call out didn't even know they were coming it was on a Monday morning he asked if he could come in but i said no cos i was trying to get my 3 children ready for school but he said that it had to be sorted there and then and that he would not be in the area for very long so stupid as i am i let him in.he marked down a few items (no where near to match the total of the debt)

and gave me a no to ring and sort out a payment plan,i did this but they wanted £100 pw but unfortunately i have been unable to pay this so i phoned back and told them this but that's all they said was tuff and if they don't receive £500 by the end of the day then they will be back to remove my goods.have phoned the council to try and get them to take the debt back as it is not as if I'm unwilling to pay its just i cant afford £100 pw and they have said no now i am unsure of what to do, also can the bailiff only take what he put down on the walk in or is he entitled to take what he wants??

any help would be really appreciated and needed soon thanks all

unfortunately you have signed a walkin pocession so little you can do to be honest, however having said that the only items the bailiff can take will be those listed on the WPO and normally as you have already stated those goods dont cover anywhere near the debt, bailiff will not be interested in taking the goods to be honest, they will want the cash, perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge might be able to help you further shortly and good luck

What items did he list?

What items did he list?

hi sorry it has taken so long to get back to you he put down my table and chairs (which he will be lucky to get £10 for as it is falling apart and nearly as old as me) a wooden cabinet a dvd player and a microwave which also don't work just kept it cos it looks nice lol

[tottys]

This has been posted elsewhere on the site ,but I thought it could do with an airing on this forum..

About time they lived in the real world.

yes but do you think the bailiff comps will actually listen i have phoned the ones that are dealing with my case and told them i was looking into passing it to a debt management comp and they said that it was tuff and they were still coming to remove my belongings my story is on a diff thread need help fast if anyone has some please have a look as I'm desperate now

[fwog]

Its not due to be implemented before May 2009, typical

If its in this forum it should be answered soon.

Have a look at the other threads, if they've never been granted access, they cant take your goods. Keep all your windows and doors shut. Try to get the debt passed back to the original creditor, if its a council, pay them on-line.

 

Best of luck

Try to find out whats actually owing and what are charges.

The council should have notified you of the court procedure as they have to apply for committal proceedings (go to court) before evolving a bailiff.

Bit of a sticky wicket as youve signed a WPA. If your on benefits this should be taken into account.

 

Hopefully someone will post a reply soon

 

Best of luck

they will try and tell you they can take other stuff, ie sufficient to try and cover the debt, however the law protects you here, if it aint down on the list then it aint going out if you get my drift!!!!

 

even if they come in and remove and then start relevying just dont sign anything but to be honest once they have removed the case would go back tot he council anyway!!!!! hope this helps

[sillygirl1]

Mods, can you pass this to Tomtubby as she is the bailiff expert, with three kids they would be classed vulnerable.....

They can enter on the WPA then re-levy on items not on the original list.

They can enter on the WPA then re-levy on items not on the original list.

 

yes they could do however i have been speaking to a couple of bailffs this evening and they assure me that once a removal has taken place the case always goes back to the council, also you can guarantee the only goods that were put down were all the bailiff in the first instance thought worth while putting down, however if op is worried in any way shape or form they can take stuff out for when bailiff turns up to take whats on the list, job done ticketyboo see ya laters bailiffs

[tottys]

morning all does any one think it would be a good idea to phone the bailiff comp and explain that the things that the man put down on the wp is not going to in no way cover the bill?? and the hope that they will finally come to a more sufficiente payment plan?? don't know when the bailiff will be coming back so don't really want to go hiding things that are used everyday am so unsure about what to do now please any advice
