I was shown this Enforcement Notice by a friend of mine this morning ... she's scared stiff that the bailiff is going to return and force entry to her house today
It is addressed to both her and her ex-partner who left over a year ago (although she knows where he lives) and is the first she's known about the whole situation. It appears that all previous letters from the council and Equita regarding this were addressed to her ex, so she wouldn't have opened them, although the council were aware that her ex had left and this years CT is in her name only.
Questions:
I have told her to ring the council asap to see if they will get the bailiffs to put it on hold due to her only just becoming aware of the LO etc... but
1, could she request that the enforcement is re-started (and the £235 fee removed)?
2, she has a car (bought for £300) that she needs to get to work ... would the bailiff take it (or is it not worth bothering about)?
3, if she gave both the council and Equita her ex's address, would they chase him for the debt instead (he didn't tell her that the CT hadn't been paid when he left)?
4, if they won't go after her ex for the bill, will she be given a chance to arrange a payment schedule with either the council or Equita?
Any advice appreciated ( [MENTION=30402]Milo[/MENTION] [MENTION=62334]Snoopy1948[/MENTION] [MENTION=9189]bizzybob[/MENTION] [MENTION=26498]ploddertom[/MENTION] ) xx
