I know its petty! But can I do it?

 

I am currently applealing what I consider incorrect bailiff charges. It is going to the ombudsman this week. If I ultimatley have to pay....can I pay them £277.50 in 1 pence coins?

 

Like I said, its petty! It might make me smile a bit though. :-)

 

Thanks

karennol.. i like it lol

 

but i doubt the bailiffs office would accept it. i think it would be their choice whether they accept the penny coins or not.

If I've given you advice, then it is just my thoughts / opinions - doesn't mean I am right!

Thanks! That upsets me a bit. Can I pay upto the limits in the small coins and then the balance in £1 coins do you think?

 

Again....very petty!! But I refused to pay £24.50 in fees pre Apr and they have upped it to £277.50 with no additional visits just a letter via mail. Not a bad profit for the price of a stamp!!

You can only pay 20 p in 1 pence coins, 20 p in 2 pence coins etc as per the list. So in effect they would be allowed to refuse it. However if I read it right you can make the total up of all the coin limits and top it up with £1 coins

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I wonder if you could make an issue out of it if they dont accept - after all, you are indeed offering to pay the charges with the money that you actually have.

You may well fail if you do try to pay in 1p coins. See here:

That was the point of rebels post

So pay 2op in 1ps

20p in 2ps

£5 in 5ps

£5 in 10ps etc etc

 

Making up the balance in £1 coins

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Send them a letter, where the 1p coins sound appealing, get them to sign the letter to say they accept the selected method.

 

E.G.

 

1. Manure equivalent to the value of £277.50

2. Rotting fruit & veg to the value of £277.50

3. Cooking Oil to be recycled to the value of £277.50

4. 1p coins to the value of £277.50

I once paid part of my poll tax (1990) in 1/2, 1, 2,5p coins but only when I asked if they took any quantity of coinage. I didn't break the bank, more like my back, it was that heavy. Think the total was over £70. Went to the bank to get the change. Childish I know, but one day I will grow up!

I had the same sort of "problem" 30 years ago with Council Tax (£80 odd quid).

 

Withdrew from bank in small coinage (checked it 3 times at home and poured into a bag)

Stood in a queue while others arrived behind me, got to the pay clerk gave the invoice over and poured the contents of the bag out.

 

Received a "dirty look" from the clerk and a "round of applause" from the queue behind me.

I am liking the sound of that!!! I will wait until the outcome of my complaint first though.

I know someone who sent a junk mail firm increasingly larger boxes of house bricks with their Reply-Paid envelope taped to the box. One cost the firm £75.00 in postal charges. He was going to send them a carton full of breeze blocks, but they asked him not to send any further boxes of bricks in exchange for them not sending him any further junk mail. It did the trick.
