Bailiffs (Phoenix) and Council tax - please help.

Oh, don't beat yourself up about it BF. Just remember how much you were trying to cope with at the same time! You've done very well to get this far - and it is a slow process.

Good luck and best wishes

Hi Everyone,

 

i had a call from the council. they want £ X00 per month which i really cannot afford. It might as well be £1million - If not, they say that their options are

a. re-instruct the bailiffs

b. put a charge on my house

b. commital

 

1. they do not acknowledge that an incorrect council tax had been charged to me in the previous period - where as i feel that a single person discount should be applied to me.

 

2. I want them to recalculate the correct tax for me for the previous period.

 

3. there is no way i can pay the amount they want as i am not earning at the moment.

 

4. to date, they have not said that they want to attach a liability on an benefit i earn

 

How do I negotiate a settlement figure which is workable? I have no income at the moment and my doctor had signed me off work for 3 months.

 

pl give me some advise on how i can negotiate with the council.

 

all the best/BF
