Council Tax Debt Recovery

Hi,

About 5 years ago I got into trouble with the council tax and Rossendales were the baliffs appointed. At the time I didn't know anything about baliff law etc and so duly let the guy in when they came and they levied on our goods. But the guy was quite nice and polite (maybe our big dog helped in that area!) and they set up a payment plan there and then for me asking me what I could afford. So I paid monthly and after 4 months I had cleared the debt. I don't know what kind of charges they added as never really looked (and again didn't know anything about this site or baliff law) But I did find they would take monthly payments. But then again this was a long time ago so maybe they've changed since then? Sorry not a huge help but just thought i'd add my experience of Rossendales and monthly payments.

I'm glad it worked out for you. However:
They are always polite to get in the door - despite what I said about their powers to get in, they know you catch more flies with a drop of honey than a gallon of vinegar.

If there had been a problem with your payments, even a really trivial one or even in some cases we've seen here, one of their making, you'd have seen another side to them.

Never ever let the bailiffs into your house.
