How much do 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

[ploddertom]

You also need a breakdown of the fees you have been charged. Send this initially by email followed by a copy in the post.

Hi pt thanks for the quick reply we phoned the council 2 weeks ago and asked them these question and to send them to our address in written form this they havnt done so will get back on to them tomorrow. What do you think of the levy gumpf on the paperwork.

[ploddertom]

I agree chase them up. Has he ever been in in your home? If so what happened?

[tony c]

No mate never been in the home and never will are phoenix dca or bailiff pt?

[ploddertom]

For this they will be acting as Bailiffs. When you speak to the Council ask them if they can see your account at the Bailiffs and if so have you been charged for a levy. Otherwise may just have to wait until you get a response from them. How long have you been paying?

[tony c]

16 months mate have moved house once and didn't hear anything for ages will see what the say when i send them the letter off as above so can we pay the council this debt and leave out PC i ain't running away from it just don't want to pay the leeches.

[tony c]

Pt you say acting as bailiffs surely they can't act as bailiffs don't they have to be certified mate to collect council tax debts.?

[ploddertom]

Have you checked the Bailiff Register? It's not always 100% accurate and you may need to check with "alleged" Certificating Court. Debt Collectors cannot collect on Council Tax.

[lookinforinfo]

Phoenix commercial is both a debt collection company and a bailiff side. And yes bailiffs collecting CT do need to be certificated.

[tomtubby]

It is a shame that your posts are so short as it is difficult to ascertain the background.

 

You need to call the council and ask them to CONFIRM the amount of the Liability order.

 

What charges have been applied by the bailiff?

 

If a "levy" has been made there is a LEGAL requirement to provide a Notice of Seizure outlining the goods "seize" and fees charged. Have you received such a notice and if so....what goods have been levied upon?

[tony c]

Thanks for the replies gents i will e mail these cretins tomorrow and get onto the council about the liability orders and stuff don't know about this levy lark tho as he has never been in the house.

[tony c]

No tom havnt received nothing as in a notice of seizure or anything it was a letter that was put tthrough the door today saying that he called and the misses missed him. Even tho we have the payment plan in place. He shouldn't have knocked.
