I did however get the name of her senior so could write a letter to her senior?

According to previous threads you should write to the Head of Revenues. They are liable for the behavoiur of the bailiffs they appoint.

If you are still living in the area, get hold of your local councillor, there should be a local surgery most weekends, or e-mail him/her, particularly about the fees.

Hi everyone/anyone!

I'm really desperate for any help.

I just had a distressing telephone call from a Bailiff, I'm currently in council tax arrears and am paying them back what I can afford. This month I paid £80 but the two previous months I only managed to pay £20. However, I'm still making payments.

The Bailiff said because I'm not paying £87 per week then he is taking my car and my possessions as my car won't pay the debt.

Can he do this even though I'm making payments? I don't know what I can do!

He also said that he will take a payment by this weekend for £500, I told him that's unrealistic and I do not have a spare £500. So again, he said that he would take my possessions to cover the debt.

Can anyone give me some advice? He's coming round on Monday to take my things.

Please help!

Has he already been inside the house and listed things? I think you need to pm Herbie21 about it.

Has he already levied against the car?

From dealing with over 6,000 bailiff queries I can say the following:

You will NOT be sent to prison.

The bailiff will NOT accept £10 per month.

The bailiff WILL try to put a LEVY on your car.

Regarding the arrears, it is actually not the bailiff who will insist on the debt being paid quickly, it is the council who nearly always insist that the debt is repaid within the current tax year. I am sorry to say that you will be expected to increase your repayment to at least £100 per month. This offer MAY work.

You MUST contact the council to confirm the amount of the Liability Order. This is because many bailiffs companies do not tell the truth about the outstanding amount and add at least 2 visits to the account (if not more).

Make sure that you do NOT have a car parked outside of your house.

The most important thing to do is that you MUST write to advise the bailiff company that you will not allow them into your home and outlining what payment you can make.

PM Herbie21 and she will send you details of our website and the password to download template letters.

Finally, if the bailiff cannot come into your home or levy on a car, he will eventually return the debt back to the council as Nulla Bono (no goods on which to levy).
