Hi All,

Helping a friend out.

 

They have been visited by the above company while at work letter put through door.

 

They have written to them explaining they have the wrong address but have ignored.

 

The name on the letter is asian and they are white british.

 

Would upload letter but not enough memory.

 

What can be done.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Yep. They are after someone who doesn't live there. It's nothing to do with the person who does live there, except inasmuch as he wants them to go away. They will need proof of who lives there - current council tax will usually suffice. Otherwise, they are likely to keep looking.

Ok thanks for all the advice.

So if they send a letter to JBW and Council with proof of residence then that would suffice?

They are a single parent with kids,live in council accomodation,don't live in the Birmingham City Council district and have sent previous letters to JBW stating such facts but have been ignored.

Would it be worthwile sending a letter to council aswell?

the council are responsible for the actions of the bailiff

 

forget the bailiff letter

 

contact the council directly 'the ctax enforcement team' etc I would expect

or the CEO of the ctax unit

 

and get them to pull the dogs off

that person does not reside at that address.

 

make it a formal complaint too.

I disagree. Bailiffs are on this case, so contact them. You can't just tell them that the debtor is not living there - they will want proof, and as I said, current council tax is usually accepted. At present there is no need for conflict and no grounds for a complaint. Of course, if they get nowhere by offering proof, then it can be taken through other channels.

You have stated that JBW visited the property and left a notice. From the document displayed it would appear that they have incorrectly calculated the initial visit fee. This SHOULD be 28% on the debt of £125.44 which SHOULD be £35.12 and NOT £33.60.

 

Most odd. Also....no VAT charged on the 1st visit fee either !!
