icon7.gifremoval notice EQUITA
Morning
Received letter from EQUITA with a 7day Removal Notice for an council tax bill from a flat i lived in 3 years ago.

What i need to know is were i am now is my partners flat and all is in her name with the council.

I stay with her and we are not married and i am not on the electrol roll were i am.

Do EQUITA have any rights to remove goods when nothing in the premises belongs to me and the rent book is in here name with council.

Please advise as got 4 days left

Regards

Minty

Number one - have you informed the council that you live with her if she is getting any benefits?
If you live in the flat whether or not you are on the electoral roll or not then yes if they have a court warrant to cease your goods then thy can enter - they can bylaw only take what YOU own, but proving to them that none of her goods belong to you could be... interesting...
My advise would be to contact Equita and try to set up a repayment plan with them explaining that you don't have any goods for them to cease... How big is this debt?
Also get in contact with CAB ASAP - they are a great source of help!
