Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: Your visit to [1st LINE OF ADDRESS]

 

I write further to your visit by your bailiff and confirm I classed a vulnerable person for the purposes of civil enforcement in the meaning of the National Standards for Enforcement Agents directives on the grounds of:

 

 

a) I am a carer of a minor who is medically diagnosed a special needs child

b) I am in receipt of a prescribed benefit

c) You are causing undue stress on the child

 

Where a debtor falling into a vulnerable persons category is discovered by an enforcement agent, the matter shall be referred back to the court and no seizure of goods may proceed. I ask that you adhere to your own regulations otherwise:

 

i) you may be at risk of being reported to your certificating court on a Form 4

ii) you may be reported to police for pretending to have a right to commit breaking and entering and you risk a criminal record.

iii) I retain the right to apply for a restraining order against you under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 which you may be liable for costs

iv) I retain and distribute your photographs for crime prevention reasons

 

Please now quietly leave the property and return the case to the court with a copy of this letter.

 

 

Yours Faithfully

do you know how much the fine was for

if the bailiffs are holding 2 or more distress warrants they must collect them together

charges for collecting magistrate court fines

 

Letter Fee £11.20. If letter arrives after first visit is made then £0.00

Levying Distress up to £100 (excluding bailiffs fees but including court fees) - £28

More than £100 - 28% for the first £200 then 5.5% on everything over £200.

If no levy is made then bailiffs can charge fees for a maximum of three visits.

Multiple fees cannot be charged for simultaneous unpaid ticket collections.

YOUR NAME

 

 

Hallowitch - Do you have a definition of a "prescribed benefit" or "vulnerable category"? I am disabled and wonder if I can send the bailiff packing with this information and have my council tax debt returned to the council? New thread - "Rundle & Co - Council Tax Bailiff - Heeelp!!!! Pleeease? Many thanks.

Brain engaging too slowly!

[jqinfo]

Thank you Hallowitch, got your info on my thread.

[Guest Happy Contrails]

Do you have a definition of a "prescribed benefit"

 

Any benefit prescibed under an Act of Parliament, e.g. jobseekers allowance, income support, DLA etc. Not child support - this is paid by the other parent.

 

or "vulnerable category"?

 

Any person considered a vulnerable persons for the purpose of civil enforcement: More: Department for Constitutional Affairs - Enforcement - National Standards for Enforcement Agents

 

 

I am disabled and wonder if I can send the bailiff packing with this information and have my council tax debt returned to the council?

 

Yes you can. Its best to have a case returned to town hall administration after a bailiff has been caught cheating with his fees.
