Equita Fees

kessik

Thanks for your replies everyone. As far as the city council is concerned we do not owe them any money - I emailed and they replied confirming we have no arrears from prior years and we are up to date this year. Am I to assume that the council doesn't understand the rules because I'm totally confused. This morning someone from Equita came to the door with an enforcement notice and my husband answered it, obviously. The enforcement notice says we owe £189.41 to the XXX City Council (but they say we don't). And I don't know where the £189.41 came from. My husband, though taken aback obviously, said we didn't owe the council anything and we had an email from them to prove it. When the Equita man asked to see it my husband told him to p*!% off and shut the door on him.
Thoughts anyone?

That's exactly the right answer to their request. They have no right to see an email and anyway an email can easily be faked so can't be used as evidence. There isn't much they can do. Don't worry about it. The council may figure it out eventually but in the meantime just ignore the bailiff.
