Equita baliff leave 24 hr notice letter

[daisy72]

even though i am repaying £95.00 a month a letter was left today saying they are going to remove goods.

 

Now i dont know what to do my council (islington is no help) at work in a blind panic trying to figure out how am i going to raise £395.00!!

I did speak to teh baliff he said my repayment plan had been broken and that there was a warrant for the full some...

i then went into a long explaination with him telling him i am up to date with my repayment i had sent a copy of the letter saying when my repayments wsre due to start at to date they are up to date... please can some body give me some advise as im getting really peed off with this letters. now.

Thankfully the baligff says he has'nt added any charges on to my account..

Thanks.

i hope you are paying money direct to the council and not the bailiff ??

 

bailiffs talk dribble they can do nothing to you cant take your stuff\collect money in 72 hours all they can do is talk dribble

 

they don't have a warrant either

[daisy72]

i hate baliffs you always reply with such an honest approach to baliffs but this does not stop me worrying about fees warrants.. i posted a thread a few weeks back saying yes i was repaying the money to the baliffs cause my council did not accept my payments.... now ive recieved another letter today...so what next continue paying and ignore!

[i hate bailiffs]

ignore is prob not the best option as it wont go away

 

most people would say pay council direct as they cannot refuse payment if they do formal complaint to council

 

Have you contacted your local MP??

 

the bailiff has no right of entry no powers to arrest you ,kidnap the dog or anything else he comes up with

 

you are not alone there is millions of people behind with council tax and the use of bailiffs in such way i think is wrong

 

deny them a levy and not much they could ever do apart from hand it back to the council

 

easy to say but nothing to worry about with bailiffs ignore the door if need be NOTHING they can do

Hi Daisy72, I am sorry to hear what is happening to you. I guess that the bailiffs you are dealing with are Equita about whom you already have a thread with?

If it is, it will probably be better if we transfer this thread to your earlier one so we can get a fuller picture.

 

Did you ever manage to get a full account from the bailiffs of what their fees were? I suspect that they have overcharged you by a lot more than the £95 they say

you have missed.

 

I know it is difficult to stand up to these people because many of them are bullies and/or thugs and are very good at frightening those who are not so able to face them down.

Are you a lady on your own, prgnant, on benefits, a pensioner or have any disability or illness? The reason for asking is to see if we can get the bailiffs off your case.

 

I note in the other thread that you said the council would not accept your payments.Tthey should not do that and I suggest that you send them a cheque if you can for your

next payment advising them that they cannot refuse your cheque or you will complain to the Department of Communities and Local Government. At the same time advise the

bailiffs that you are now paying the Council direct since they are saying you have broken the agreement and you know you haven't.

 

You haven't said, but have the bailiffs been into your house yet?

[daisy72]

hello looking for info... ibaliff attended yesrday leaving a 24 hr removal notice...i get paid from work tomorrow s i am going to make a repayment to the council rather than equita. None of my good have been levied by a baliff , and this afternoon I see i have a missed call from the baliff inquestion.

Thing is what do i do now?

[Ell-enn]

I think you need to write a formal complaint to the council - email their customer services dept and title the email FORMAL COMPLAINT RE : (put your council tax ref number in).

 

While your complaint is being dealt with they should stop all bailiff action until it is resolved. Do you live on your own? if so make sure the council know that and that you are frightened as this bailiff says he wants to come into your home and make a list of goods. If you need help with the email/letter please let me know.

 

 

If you are paying £95 a month why are they visiting you and leaving letters? Can't you pay the council via their website?.

[i hate bailiffs]

a 24 hour removal notice they relying on fear and intimidation chances are they wont be back in 24 hours,but may be a few days

 

last time i had one of those letters,next i heard it was handed back to council

 

do not call bailiff

 

start emails formal complaint to council and local MP

 

next doors cat has more right to be on your property than the bailiff

 

you will be breaking no law having no dealings with bailiff

[renegadeimp]

If you dont speak to a bailiff and they havent been in your house to levy goods, then the only thing they can do is hand it back to the council or court and let them decide what happens next.

 

As stated, all the crap about them getting locksmiths/breaking in/whatever else is just that. Crap. It is meant to intimidate and scare you into paying.

hi guys and thank you all for your reposnses..

well i have repaid the outstanding amount of £286.00 straight to islington council as of 4.15pm today.... means i wont have alot of money left over after bills this month but rather that thean live in fear of baliffs.. only thing is now the equita baliffs say i owe £395.00.. so according to them £109.00 stil outstanding on the account..i have asked on several ocassions for a breakdown of charges letter but nothing.... cam anyone point me in the right direction for a template as i can send another letter tomorrow. Have sent equita an email requesting a full breakdown and informing them that i have repaid outstanding council tax to Islington council in full.

Thanks.

Has the bailiff performed a levy yet? If not, he is only entitled to visit fees, and those fee's are set in stone by law.

i expect there fees are all made up

 

any liability order /warrant court document whatever they want to call it is now satisfied

 

if they want there money i would say it would be a civil case between you and the bailiffs they will no doubt move on to there next victim and give up on you once they realize they onto a looser

 

they cannot return and levy for there fees all i would do is pay the bailiff fees to the council first and second visit fee

 

i expect you have more than paid bailiffs over past few months

 

i have too paid my council bill today no bailiff fees i asked the council are you going to tell the bailiffs to get $$$$$$ or will you leave that pleasure to me:-D

[daisy72]

thanks all ... can i just get one piece of advise is that i am-liable for the 1st/2nd visit..well done ihate..... great feeling right

[daisy72]

sorry nothing levied either..

[renegadeimp]

If nothing was levied then he can only charge you a visit fee and certainly not the amount he's claiming. You MUST report him.

thanks all ... can i just get one piece of advise is that i am-liable for the 1st/2nd visit..well done ihate..... great feeling right

 

sort off have another court summons for this year move out next month and they claim till next year so really will owe nothing:wink:

 

first visit fee £24.50 second fee £18.00

 

you could pay that to council to pay bailiffs or knock it off this years bill up to council

 

your dealings with bailiffs should be over but they may try it on but they have nothing to act upon

[old bill]

Please note that once a Liability Order is satisfied, it ceases to have any effect in law. If certificated bailiffs try to tell you otherwise, tell them to go play with the traffic on the nearest motorway. Their legal protection is linked to the LO and once it ceases to have effect, their legal protection ceases with it. You are then at liberty to order them off your property to the extent of physically kicking their arses to the boundary of your property, though, I would not recommend this as you may end up with aching legs.

[brassnecked]

Have you asked the council what you owe according to their books? you could pay the council direct by internet banking

Daisy you asked earlier for a template to ask the bailiffs to account for their fees.

 

Here is one and you can use it not just for your current problem with bailiffs, but others in the past who may have overcharged you-

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re: [YOUR NAME + REF]: Your fees.

 

I write following visits by your bailiff however there appears to an irregularity with your fees and I am writing to ask you to provide me the following within seven (7) days:

 

1) The name of the court that issued the certificate for the bailiff in charge.

 

2) Written itemised breakdown of a) your fees, and b) the original debt.

 

3) The name and address of the organisation that instructed you

 

4) a) Truthfully confirm in writing your fees are lawful and comply with legislation or, b) refund me the unlawful fees plus reasonable compensation for being cheated by your bailiff with his fees by midday the seventh day from the date of this letter.

 

A bailiff or any other person who dishonestly charges for work that has not been done will be committing an arrestable offence under the Fraud Act 2006. Section 2 of the Act specifically describes a person dishonestly makes a false representation and intends, by making the representation, to make a gain for himself or another, or cause a loss to another, or expose another to a risk of loss therefore, if no satisfactory refund is made to me by 12.00 midday seven (7) days from the date of this letter I will automatically file a complaint to police under the 2006 Fraud Act and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. If you have charged VAT on unlawful fees then you may be reported for VAT fraud and your documents will be given in evidence.

 

Case law requires I recover unlawful bailiffsicon fees from your client that instructed you. If you fail to make the required refund within seven days I will automatically proceed by filing the claim at court.

 

This is a letter before actionicon and is not a request to access any personal dataicon as defined under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

This letter is delivered by Royal Mail and deem it good service upon you by the ordinary course of post under Section 7 of the Interpretation Act 1978. It now is your responsibility and in your best interests this letter is handed to the relevant person within your organisation.

 

Yours Sincerely

Is that to do with kicking a bailiff's arse or the rest of it?

yes and the aching legs reminded myself of me:whoo:

I think a lot of peeps would like to insert the toe of their boot up a bailiff's arse to the top lacehole. It would certainly give the bailiff something to think about, apart from sore buttocks and an inability to sit down without discomfort. Lol!

[daisy72]

Thanks all I haven't heard anything back from equita do assuming that's it ! I will deffo use template letter as I do want a complete end to this chapter

[lookinforinfo]

Well it would be nice to get back any money you have been overcharged. You can go back six years in reclaiming overcharges by bailiffs.

 

If they don't respond to your letter, please get back to us.
