Help Bailiffs Coming

tallyhoh

If it is their fault then its possible that they cannot claim it back (although they will try). That is if you have given them all the correct info & they have made an error in processing. Has this gone to Court as bailiffs are about?
Pop over to the benefits board for up to date advice on the procedure for disputing this debt.

Faith shoes are good, used to help deliver them.

I've already faxed and posted a letter through to Sefton Council Tax about your case and their attempts to recover Council Tax from the date you left Sefton up to March 08. All I can do now is wait until they contact me or I will try them again tomorrow afternoon. They should take the account back from the bailiffs and deal directly with us I got this e-mail from M.I.N.D [ I DONT EVEN OWE ANY MONEY]

Hi John, just wanted to add my suuporrt :grouphug:

Also to let you know that even if the council don't get things sorted, it isn't the end of the line. You can go above them and complain to the local government ombudsman. I know that will be small comfort right now but we will all help you through the process if you need it.

Another letter if you still end up needing to get rid of the bailiffs:

Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Your Reference

I understand XXX Council has appointed you to recover my Council Tax Liability arrears for 200x of £xxxx.

Firstly I would like to make you aware that I am fully aware of my rights and you will not gain entry to my home under any circumstances to levy goods and I know the fees allowed under statute and when these fees can be applied.

Due to my circumstances I am unable to pay this in one payment. I advocate a payment schedule of 24 months with 23 months payments at £xx.xx and the balance of £xx.xx to be paid on the 24th month to cover the principle. I understand this may seem a long time but this is a realistic offer that is affordable to me and will allow me to pay future bills issued for Council Tax without them falling into arrears. A greater amount would cause me real and actual hardship.

I am able to pay the above amount on the xx of each month, as an act of good faith I have enclosed the first payment chq number xxxxxx. Please advise how you would like future payments made. My personal preference is payment by Standing Order.

It should be noted that I am not at any point refusing to pay this debt but only asking for a fair payment period considering my circumstances. And if you are unable to accept my offer I will place the money aside each month until such a time the council take the account back into their management, when I will make payment of the set aside money to the council.

Please also send an itemised statement of account that clearly shows what charges have been added and what for, you are required in statute to supply this information and I look forward to this within 14 days.

I am sending the council a copy of this letter and requesting that it be filled with my account for further reference.

I hope the above meets your approval and I look forward to your timely reply by letter.

Yours faithfully,

Good to hear you sound a bit brighter. I really do think you need to get in touch with your GP for a referral for a mental health social worker to be allocated. People train for years to be able to help you but the problem is that people can slip through the net so please get your GP to help you. There is no shame in asking for help and you are entitled to it! Keep us posted & well done on the comp shoes! Faith shoes are expensive!!
