Jacobs Council Tax Bailiffs - HELP!!!!

nic5554

A few months ago a Bailiff from Jacobs came to my door to say that I owed Council Tax from 6 years ago from a previous address and that I had to pay with 24 hours or they would remove things from my home.
That night I was so worried, I started looking around and found some threads on here telling me not to let them in and ring the Council so that what I did the morning after. I only lived at the address for 9 months yet the bill was for almost 14 months so they asked me to prove with bank statements etc that I only paid rent for the months I had stated. I asked them to take the debt back but they wouldn't but they held off for a week until I could provide statements. The problem was that the bank I used to pay my rent 6 years ago, I had closed so I am still trying to get access to these. I sent an email to the Council Tax office saying that until the matter was resolved I would pay £25 per week and if they owed me any money when we had figured it all out then they could deduct it from this years bill. I never had a reply but I have been paying the weekly amount anyway. I didn't hear anymore from the Bailiffs until last week when I received a letter saying I had 7 days to pay the full amount and then today while out, they called while I had workmen there and they left a letter with them for me and even asked their names. They have also whacked on loads of charges. I know that the charges law has changed in April this year but just wondered if anyone knew where I stood now with this and what exactly has changed? Can they now break in to take my things and how much do I legally have to pay the bailiffs etc?
Thanks.

Where did you pay council tax for the other 5 months ?
I would have thought a copy of these records would be of more use.
