seizure of goods notice

[BettyJay]

Bayliffs have been today and posted a seizure of goods notice through the door listing two cars. As it says this is an 'agreement' how can it be as it has not been signed by me? can they still take the goods?

[wonkeydonkey]

What does the debt relate to?..........if you can give caggers a bigger picture they can reply accordingly?

The levy is not valid because its made in your absence and the document has 7 items or less. The Judgment in Ambrose vs. Nottingham City Council ruled that "global levies" are irregular and therefore, not binding on debtors regardless of whether or not a Walking Possession Agreement has been signed.

Rubbish, you need tolook closer at that Judgment and research more on how levies are done.

Excellent!

 

A levy is valid because a bailiff stuck a document though the door?

Council tax

[TB Law]

Notice of seizure not valid, it must be for unpaid rent or HMRC unpaid tax.

[sgtbush]

im summising it will be a NOTICE OF DISTRESS listing the cars,

where they on your drive??

 

the relevent legislation is community charges (administration and enforcement) 1989 no. 438 and the council tax (administration and enforcement) regulations 1992 no.513 i belive

Hi Betty Jay lets see if we can help you with this....a few more questions I'm afraid....do the cars on the notice of seizure actually belong to the named debtor? what amount do the bailiff allege to be owed? have you contacted the Council to check the figures the bailiff are asking are true to the debt?

what charges (should be on the back of the notice) do they dream to be owed to them?

If the cars on the levy do not belong to the debtor than as wonkeydonkey has said the levy is invalid, if the bailiffs are intransigent and the council support them, remind them of the LGO and the scathing report about Blaby Council and Rossendales.
