Bailiffs coming out over council tax

MFUK

If the letter is standard does that mean they will still come out, or is it a scare tactic and if I ring them, they may accept a payment plan?

yes they will still come out the letter is designed to scare you just keep them out and you will be ok eventually the debt will be returned to the council if they don't get a levy on your goods

go and see your MP

as for your neighbours car don't worry about it if they leave a notice of seizure listing the car come back here and someone will tell you how to deal with it

Sheffield City Council. I don't have a car but my next door neighbour does, can I prove to them it's not mine? I just wish they listened the first time, and then the week before last when I sent the proof off, but obviously they have to keep going on and either not reading the proof correctly or it wasn't sent off, they sent me a final reminder the day before I could go to the job centre and get them to send me proof, then I have got another one. I am going to try and find my local CAB office and see if they can help too. I am just petrified if my little girl is outside playing (as it's getting a bit warmer and it's difficult to keep a 4 year old indoors) and the back door is open and they just walk in.

You may not be able to prove that the car isn't yours but it should be easy to prove that it's his!

Can't you shut the back door when you and your daughter are playing outside?

I can shut the door yes, are they allowed to try the handle? Would I be best to lock it?

I wouldn't know where to find the MP or what to say I am completely clueless on these things.
