it means they have a levy and can charge you £36 for the privilege of doing it (they could charge £24.50 for a visit where they failed to levy).

Please will you click in the link that I posted earlier and check whether you can stop them levying on a car for business use against domestic CT. There are rules re works vans and business rates, so you may be lucky.

You cannot stop them levying if you use the car to get to work but if your employment is impossible to continue without the car, you may be OK.

Yes employment is impossible without the car, my other half has to drive to peoples houses to do his work.I have checked the link, I think the car should be safe
I would rather open the door for them than let them take the car. To be honest I dont think they would find £300 worth of stuff anyway, the only thing I have thats worth more than £50 is a 32" tv that i won last year
If they come to take the car what should I do??

Go back to post 13, where I put up an e-mail to send?

Now edit that to add: Mr X requires the car (reg) in order to work as (). Without this, he will be unable to work.

Will be back with an alternative e-mail address.

Do send that pm to Herbie21, urgently as well.

And do not let them in the house whatever you do.

Ok

Herbie21 previously asked a poster to send the e-mail to
[EMAIL="kayleigh.collins@equita.co.uk"]kayleigh.collins@equita.co.uk[/EMAIL]

i suggest you get that e-mail, telling them the car is required for work purposes and that you want the fee breakdown to to both kayleigh and Info (in case she does not work there anymore/has the day off).
Alos find out who your local councillor is and get them by e-mail or phone tonight. Same stuff: car needed for employment and unfair fees charged. Ask them to hold off the bailiff for two weeks.

Thank you so much for your help guys xx

If my memory is working today i think i read on here a while back that an open porch door means they have accessed the property and
gives them the right to force entry on other doors in that property?

Equita will keep adding charges, do not let them in. Phone the council in morning ask if they will take debt back-if not phone equita /bailiff ask if they will take payments but you must promise to keep to it.....and explain there will be no money if you cant work and you cant without the car. You need to talk to these people it wont just go away x

The bailiff has already levied on the car, so that is pointless. However, since the car is necessary for employment rather than just needed to get to work, KBH may have been able to reverse the levy. If the employment rule works, there is no need to move the car.

Since it appears that there is no valid levy, the maximum the bailiff can charge is £42.50, unless KBH chooses to let him in the house.
