  • Jacobs, acting without Liability Order can they do this?

    All,

    I have been having a lot of contact with Jacobs, I am finally in a better place now where I can do something about fighting back.

    I remember a comment about asking the council for a copy of the original liability order, as without it the whole house of cards falls down. Remember NOT paying Council Tax IS an offence, simply paying LATE is not ;-)

    So I sent an email to the council and Jacobs asking for a true copy of the original liability order, council have gone quiet apart from repeating they have transferred the collection over to Jacobs, hmm without a liability order they could be in breach of Data Protection, (FOI Request coming up!) then this from Jacobs themselves, don't laugh legal people!

    From what I understand, without a copy of the Liability Order Jacobs cannot act as agents and collect this outstanding council tax, when coupled with the incorrect delivery of their letters, not stating the Liability Order on them or the FULL name of the bailiff, I believe I am right in telling them to jog on! Which means the council have to go back to the courts and request a liability order, at which point the whole, how can you charge £35 for something that costs £6 comes into play, then request a full court hearing

    I am currently making small payments of around £50 to clear this so by the time it goes back round they will probably have nothing to chase, only the fees they have tried to apply to what is essentially an unlawful document.

    Am I right in the above?

    I don't think Jacobs has to have a copy of the LO just to be informed that one has been granted and the LA instruct the to pursue the payment.

    Maybe wrong.?????
