I have a council tax debt that has been passed to the Baliff, Equita. They wrote to say they were coming so I wrote to the council tax dept, including a £10 payment and asked that they take the debt back and negotiate with me directly. They responded by accepting the £10, but refusing to take the account back from Equita. But, he has included a budget form for me to fill in and return. Today the Baliff claims to have been to remove goods - although I doubt it as my partner has been in all day and says he's not seen anyone. Amusingly, they've put a letter through the door stating they are coming back with immediate effect. They've also included a schedule of items they think they will take, which details a car that's not mine!

 

should I call the council tax guy and ask if he will at least call off the Baliff while we are communicate?

 

Also have a DCA calling me at work - everyday! Is this allowed?

 

Any advice as to the next step to take please.

 

Sorry didn't even introduce myself - as my username suggests - I'm in a pickle emotionally at the present time. Trying to stay calm!

You have rec'd a budget form from the council. This is confirmation the council will negotiate with you to find a payment solution. I would also offer to pay them something straight away to get the ball rolling. Probably a good idea to go to the Council offices and sit with them whilst it gets sorted.

Hi Determindator,

 

Yes - there's been an update. I emailed the council asking them to call off the baliff, and sneekily paid another £10 through the online payments system, until we had at least finished the budget sheet process which they have agreed to do. So, I have 14 days grace from baliff visits. However, the council are saying that I need to pay at least £100 each month. There's just no way I can afford that and they'll see that's the case when I send in the budget sheet to them. The baliff has not left anything detailing how much hey have charged us, just the standard removal letter and a schedule detailing what they wanted to take.

 

Thanks for your help I will update as and when I've sent in the budget sheet and had a reply.

have you had a read of this

 

your doing well keep paying the council what you can afford

 

find out from your council who administrates the council tax as a rule if Equita are the bailiffs Capita administrate the council tax and they own Equita

 

if you need to write a complaint letter make sure you address it the Head of finance (his name should be on councils website)
