HW advice is as usual sound as a pound. I would also drop a line to the Council and remind them they are taking payment for the debt and you suggest they advise their muppets of this. Any outstanding alleged fees must be identified by the muppets and HW's letter makes that very clear to them (assuming they can read).

 

Good Luck

ive had a few dealings with bailiffs, twice actually both after having parking tickets stolen off my car and as such bailiffs calling. i dealt with with 'dukes' the 2nd time and if im honest they were quite pleasant with me, as far as bailiffs go - seem like one of the more professional companies in the industry, you dont read about many complaints about them

As I have said MANY TIMES on CAG, with the collection of council tax bailiff fees MUST be deducted FIRST from any payments made.

 

Bailiff fees would be due and because the bailiffs had not levied upon goods the MAXIMUM that they can charge you is just £42.50 for two visits for "attending to levy where no levy was made".

 

If the bailiff had visited you 10 time, that is fine...BUT he cannot charge for more than 2 visits.

 

Therefore....UNLESS a levy had been made, the MAXIMUM can be just £42.50

[fork-it]

A few years ago, I had a tenant who was charged by a bailiff over a hundred pounds for "attending with a view to making a levy".

 

What do you think of that?

Wrong amount. It should have been £24.50
