Reposssessed over council tax

  • Hi, the reason the debt increased so much was because of the trustee who is involved charge extortionate fees. Also, my partner had managed to postpone an eviction a couple of times, so there are some court fees for 3 occassions (not sure how much these amount to). What I haven't done is asked the trustee for a breakdown as I'm still negotiating with them on an extension to wait for the remortgage and I'm worried that I'm going to get their backs up.

    I'm I right in going back to the court and should I tell the trustee about this letter from the VOA that i have received. What i don't want to do is cause myself more court costs if Im not right. Also can I write to the court or do I need a solictor to do this for me?

    Personally i would write down everything that has happened and get confirmation of exactly what is going on from your husband.

    I don't know anything about the legalities, but you might be able to get some advice from the consumeractiongroup forum on this too as another source of info.
