MY partner has a fine for non payment of car tax it was one week late. It has been handed over to phillips baliffs, he is self employed and not been working over the last few months. We have not had been able to pay this i have had a phonecall from phillips this morning to say if payment is not paid in full they will send in the baliffs. I HAVE OFFERED £200 on thursday total payment is £488 the said this was not good enough and baliffs will be sent in if payment not made in full.Any advice please and what will happen

we forgot our tax once, its was 6 weeks late, we'd had one reminder, threw a SORN on the car and got it sorted, including having to get new insurance docs, are you sure it was only a week?

anyway, I thought that courts had to be involved to get a bailiff sent out? a lot of DCA's threaten bailiffs when it will actually be a debt collector at your door instead.

What fine did you get? the fine for not paying your car tax is £1000, what they are telling you is not adding up in my mind. Can you tell us EXACTLY what you were sent and by whom? all correspondance??
