He posted that through last year same time as I sorted my other accounts out that I'm paying weekly and yes its a different account number, he never retuned so was no arrangement put in place I just payed on it when I could or had any money spare with it only been a small debt, the form was a levy it had my name and address printed on and account number, there was no goods listed on it it was just all blank, I'm going to my mums in the morning to ring the council up and find out , as an approx I'd say about 5-6 months

They have sent me a break down of fees charged and what times , but they don't add up at all , was also charged for a van fee off 130 pound at the same time I was charged for a levy which was never made

hallowitch is better able to help with this but it gives you an idea.

Ask them for copies of all the levies, please, unless you already have them.

He can have the cost of two visit fees for this - no more. £42.50.

Ask for a copy of the complaints procedure.

Are you still in the same council area?

He can have the cost of the two visits and levy but once even though there are two accounts.

Based on what I can recall of the goods levied that you posted up, bioth accounts should have been returned to the Council.
