Bristow sutor, help!

[ChazzaBean]

Got home from work today to a letter from bristow sutor bailiff,

he called at 1.30pm (I left 10 minutes earlier) saying i owe £1131 council tax, which I do,

 

I lost my job and recently am employed again.

 

I can afford around £130 a month now.

 

I have a 2 year old son and don't want him coming to my house again,

as it happens I emailed the council this morning before this to offer them this payment.

 

Anything I can do?

 

I owed about £500 in the past and bristow sutor intimidated me and I refuse to let them do it again.

 

Thanks in advance. X

Thanks, I don't get paid till the 27th so can't pay until then shall I just ignore any correspondence from them? X

[mellymoo74]

what letters have you had, does it state that they are coming out or is it the first stage letter?

I would also email the council with your payment plan and then on the 27th pay whatever it is you have said you will pay either online or on the automated line.

Are you a single parent? The reason I ask is potential vulnerability

Keep him out lock doors and windows and hide any car, deny him a levy and he can only get visit fees totalling £42.50

Not a single parent, don't have a car never open windows so should be ok. My partner knows to ignore the door. I will just pay to council on the 27th then, how long do they go between visits do they leave as don't want them coming back x

Had a reply from the council said I have to contact the bailiff x

Just had another letter put through my door. No knock just a tap on the letter box and the brown envelope through my door. Saying they are prepared to let me pay £109 by the 16th then £104 every week after. No chance have I got that money at all.
