Could someone please help me?

Hi

 

if anyone can help me with this it would be deeply appreciated.

 

Back in june we got a letter of the council saying final notice for council tax ect... and the outstanindg debt £1205.30

 

 

 

then we got a letter about summons to court 3rd september...

 

 

then we got a letter posted through the door 6th of september saying they got a liability order from the court dated jul21,2009 and the balance is now £1268.30 (god knows where this extra £60 odd pound came from?)+ first visit fee £23.50 + second visit fee £18.00 total £1310.80 and on the back of the letter its a walking possession agreement but we havent signed it and the baliff hasnt been in our house and where not gonna sign it or let him in!! and with this letter came another slip (request to pay by instalments) but where not signing that ither as they want you national insurance number work adress ect...and i dont want them coming into my work it's a complete cheek asking for those details imo!!!

 

 

So this is what we were thinking of doing,completley ignoring the baliffs!!. And my mum (im helping her with this as she doesnt have a clue ither when it comes to baliffs!!) is gonna go into the council and ask if the acount could be takinig back into there management ect.. as she will under no circumstance allow the baliffs into her home and that she is willing to make a payment of £200. a month untill the debt is cleared and if the council refuse this offer she will then just tell them that she will put the money to one side untill the council take they acount back into there management as there is no way she will give a penny to the baliffs!! or is this the wrong way to go about it? thanks!

If you are going to pay the council direct you can do this online.

Can i ask is your mother working?

This is the best way to do it, as the payment can't be refused then, plus you have receipts. If you couldn't pay online for any reason, your mum should take a witness with her when she visits the council and if they refuse to accept the payment plan, she should ask the council to sign a statement saying so.

 

If they refuse to do that, then the witness can sign it as having witnessed the council refuse.

 

If you don't answer the door to the bailiff and ignore them, it should be referred back to the council anyway. Don't sign anything and maybe, if you want to be clear, send the bailiff's office a letter saying you refuse them entry to your premises and that if they re-visit, then you shall take action against them for trespass.
