Help needing in understanding enforcement bailiff

[andypandy000]

Hi I've been visited by an enforcement bailiff for overdue council tax and have spoken with him over the phone, I have not let him in my house.

I have offered payment in installments but can't afford to pay very much. He has told me the full amount of £2000 needs to be paid by Jan 7th as this is when this years tax ends.

He has noted my car details on a notice of seizer.

I have also emailed the council today direct with my offer.

Can anyone tell me where I stand and what I can do, I just want to pay this off but can't do it all in one go.

The bailiff told me he doubted my offer would be accepted but would find out and call

me back, that was at 4pm today. These people have hounded me for days and now they don't ring back, I'm confused.

Surely I can make payment in installments???

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I'll move your thread to the bailiffs forum here and think the guys will be able to help you.

Hi I've been visited by an enforcement bailiff for overdue council tax and have spoken with him over the phone, I have not let him in my house. Make sure you keep him out.

I have offered payment in installments but can't afford to pay very much. He has told me the full amount of £2000 needs to be paid by Jan 7th as this is when this years tax ends. He's telling you porkies - end of financial year for Council Tax is 31 March.

He has noted my car details on a notice of seizer. Is the car yours? Is it on finance?

I have also emailed the council today direct with my offer. They will probably tell you to deal with the Bailiff.

Can anyone tell me where I stand and what I can do, I just want to pay this off but can't do it all in one go.

The bailiff told me he doubted my offer would be accepted but would find out and call. He will tell you it is not acceptable as I doubt he will ask.

me back, that was at 4pm today. These people have hounded me for days and now they don't ring back, I'm confused. Typical response unfortunately.

Do you or anyone else in the household suffer from illness or disability? Have you checked to make sure how much you owe? You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:

1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you

2 - the dates they were obtained

3 - the addresses they were for

4 - the period of time each covers

5 - how much each one was for

6 - how much is still outstanding

7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement

8 - the dates & amounts of any payments

 

Has the Bailiff left you a breakdown of the fees he has charged so far?

[andypandy000]

The car is in my name, the council tax debt is in my husbands name. It's not on finance.

I've only got what they put through the door stating a total, t doesn't even say which council is for.

I will definately be calling the council/bailiffs Monday morning requesting the other information.

Thank you so much, just didn't know where to turn.

Is there nothing on the reverse of the Notice of Seizure?

Lots of small print regarding regulations for different enforcements like road traffic, non domestic and council tax.

It does list the costs made by them for levy and visits but no breakdown or to which council it relates to only that they are acting on a certficate granted at Northampton county court, were in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

No. Our fault entirely, lots on our minds this year. Will need to contact council for full breakdown inc costs.

The car is in my name, the council tax debt is in my husbands name. Unfortunately it will be classed as joint & several liability meaning although there may only be one name on the bill you will both be held responsible for it. It's not on finance.

I've only got what they put through the door stating a total, t doesn't even say which council is for. It will probably be for where you live now.

I will definately be calling the council/bailiffs Monday morning requesting the other information. Only call the Bailiff if you can record the call, they do tend to forget what was said otherwise.

Thank you so much, just didn't know where to turn.

It does list the costs made by them for levy and visits - that's what we are looking for - but no breakdown or to which council it relates to only that they are acting on a certficate granted at Northampton county court, were in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
