Council Tax - Bailiffs

Grey's_Anatomyfan643

Afternoon everyone,

I need urgent advice, I am currently in debt of £400 of my council tax and the debt is with enforcement Jacobs, I had a visit from the removal team and they said that I need to pay the all amount including they fees, I told them that I can't pay the full amount as I am only on a small wage and I asked them if I could set up a payment arrangement and the man I spoken to on the phone refused and he said that if I don't pay, they will visit my flat and take goods, I haven't let them in my flat and I believe they can't force entry with a council tax debt, I told him that I will wait till it gets back to the council so I can set up a payment plan, he said that the debt won't get back to the council and I could go to prison, just wondering is the man right that this council tax debt won't go back to the council or is he just saying that to me for a scare tactic to scare me and I will pay up?

Any advice would be brilliant, thank you!

Jacobs are a notorious outfit as many Youtube videos of their collection agents in action will attest. Just don't open your doors to those bandits.

shafted-

You should listen to Richie Allen's testimony of when an agency was harrassing him when he was told he owed money that he didn't or couldn't pay: he threatened to set the dog on them if they showed up. Councils are so gutless and this is how they get round the law, by getting uninformed idiots to do their dirty work for them.

Why have you let it get this far without already setting up a payment plan? It was never going to go away.
