Start your own thread. I think you're saying in your other post that this is now paid up to date. If not, your mum needs professional advice as a committal hearing is a serious thing. In fact she probably needs professional debt advice if she can't even pay her priority creditors
If you're objecting to councils being able to refer for committal then I agree with you but your MP would be the best one to complain to.0 -

I cant tell from your post what the exact circumstances are at present.
Your Mum should certainly get advice from one of the debt charities in my signature, or National Debtline.
Who is it you have been dealing with, someone at the council, or a bailiff ?
By the aggressive response, it sounds to me like a bailiff.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
