Council Tax / Baliff Help Please

Hi All,
My partner and I got behind with our council tax earlier in the year. Stupidly we waited until we got a court summons before acting. However we went to the council the same day that we received the letter and sorted out a repayment plan to. We have stuck to this plan and not missed a payment. So I was a bit annoyed to get a letter from Excel Civil Enforcement asking for the total remainder of what is owed. It states that they have a magistrates liability order and to ring their baliff (Mr Williams) to sort payment.
What I want to know is:

What I want to know is:
- If they actually have this liability order how come I had no further contact from the council or a court summons.
- How could the council pass this to the baliff if I've stuck to the repayment plan.
- They state to direct all payments and correspondance to them but I have already made my payment direct to the council yesterday. What happens with this money?
