Equita Bailiffs and Council Tax Arrears

Comments

  • I have e-mailed council, equita and OFT today. I am still livid about it all!
  • Equita have replied to my email, via letter saying they will not deal with anything, but to go through the bailiff allocated to me.:mad:

    No word from the local councillors, even though I have left countless messages.

    No word yet from the council - re: taking the arrears back, but to be honest I didn't expect a quick response there!

    The door will be closed. I will not talk to the bailiffs. They will HAVE to communicate via written response as far as I am concerned.

    tell me about it!!! :rotfl:
  • Thanks Ras, I have already PM'd Herbie and got sum advice. U guys have been brilliant in all this. xx :T
  • Council said they have passed email to relevant department but other than that, not a word.
  • if you cannot contact the bailiff, how are you meant to sort it out?

    I got myself into some bad council tax debt and I am currently paying it back, I have a settlement agreed however I wondered if anyone could help with the following.

    Is it one of these debts that i could agree a figure to pay it off in full and that figure may be lower than what I owed?

    Er...no...sorry!

    The only way I know of paying a percentage of council tax debt is to chuck it into an Administration Order.
  • what if no one responds to you re paying the full amount? can the council just be called and paid over the phone?
