Council Tax Bank Arrestment

andyg99

Hi
I am looking for help if at all possible, I have been pretty badly in debt for a few years now and had an arrangment with payplan but recently things have got out of control again when I thought I was getting back on track this has culminated in receiving a letter this morning saying they are going to arrest my bank account because of council tax arrears. I phoned the company who said there was nothing I could do except pay the whole amount which I cant do, but if they arrest my bank account I cant see what that achieves as I dont have any money in it. Any advice would be appreciated as I dont know what to do now.
Thanks

We had an attachment of earnings slapped on us so they could deduct any money we got before it came to us. Attacking an empty account seems a waste of time and money.

Well i would put you proposal in writting and send it to the company with you SOA and a postal order for first installment. send it recorded delivery.

I guess they hope to get lucky with a bank arrestment and will probably go in to it this friday as alot of people get paid last friday/last workingday of the month.

Thanks Lilac, I figured thats what they would do. I have since spoken with the council and they want me to go and see them and arrange a plan to pay the arrears. the problem I think I am going to have with that is that they want it paid by January which would make the payments over £250 a month which i cant afford but will go and see them anyway.
Thanks
