I’ve just had a visit by an arrest warrant officer? He’s given me a noticed to sign saying I’ll attend court regarding council tax. He said if I didn’t sign it he has the power to call the police to arrest me until the hearing. I’ve been trying to make an agreement with them and not their ‘agents ‘and been paying a min of £50 a month direct to the council. This goes back to before and during Covid when we bad left the mortgaged property ready for sale that fell through. The house was empty for 2 years and I had asked for some sort of reduction as we can’t afford both. I deny an income form. My husband works abroad. I can’t work as I’m ill and also awaiting surgery. So do they have and rights of arrest or bringing about an arrest ? Are they using scare tactics to get me to attend and surely signing a ‘legal’ document given I was on very strong pain killers and as he noted, I looked quite dozy? He also couldn’t do anything about my husband as he’s in Denmark working. I’m not sure what to do next as I am in bed because of my back (slipped discs, DDD, lordosis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteopenia …. The list is endless

Hi Sunny
Welcome to LB
Firstly try not to stress yourself.
Email the Council and Bristow & Sutor, explain that you are a 'Vulnerable' Person, if you have 'medical evidence', email that too.
Separately lodge a complaint with Bristow & Sutor, they shouldn't ignore what you are telling them, hopefully the Council might take the debt back.

(If you feel comfortable complaining to the Council, do so).
Amend the following template, then email it to Bristow & Sutor and the Council.

Mandy White please start a new thread your own if you would like advice here. Posting onto some else's thread just gets confusing.
Repost and give us more details and a timeline so we can understand what has happened.
If you tell bailiffs that you are vulnerable because of your medical condition they are entitled to ask for medical evidence to confirm what you say.
All opinions expressed are based on my personal experience. I am not a lawyer and do not hold any legal qualifications.
