Hi everyone,
Visited by Rossendales this afternoon, (Monday 2nd Aug 2010) asking for payment of £549.08 or he will lift the car from the drive. I asked him how he has the authority to just take the car and he showed me it was listed under 'THE INVENTORY' section of a 'WALKING POSSESSION AGREEMENT' which a Rossendales bailiff filled out and dated 5/oct/09. I asked how could a walking possession agreement have been made without the knowledge or agreement of the person named for the council tax debt or myself. His reply was the car had belonged to Rossendales since Oct 09 and he could take it any time. I replied that we had no knowledge of any such agreement. He then furiously riped the page from his clipboard and thrust it at me. The document is signed and dated by a bailiff but not the person named on the debt.
The amount on the document are as follows:
client debt and costs outstanding 915.08
first visit fee 24.50
second visit fee
levy fee 54.00
walking possessioin order
other
total £993.58
He also gave me a BAILIFF REMOVAL magistrates liability order/distress warrant for the unpaid council tax. PAYMENT DUE IN FULL - 24 HOURS on which he had written £549.08. He told me that the council want him to execute the warrant now so the amount must be paid in full.
His manner was agressive and theatening and had I not previously read the posts on this site I would not have been able to deal with this person.
I am signed off work through ill health and attend my doctor and local hospital for my condition. My Partner is the named person on this debt and works away all week. Rossendales know this and I asked him why he was visiting on a Monday? He confirmed that the person who wrote out the Oct agreement had noted that my partner is not home until Sat evenings. He then ran back up the drive before I could read the documents fully and ask what the £549.08 was actually for.
I have just checked our 2010/2011 council tax bill and £240.58 has been added to this in respect of 2009/2010, which is what I presume this bailiff is chasing (plus a little extra!).
We are still struggling with payments, but are and always have been continuing to pay our local council through the automated service. I offered the bailiff to get the cash to pay him as my partner worked away and he said he could only accept payment from him (this was sometime in 2009). We will be paying the bailiff fees which are legally due, once we have confirmation of what these fees are.
With the payments we have made to the council for year10/11, the £240.58 for 09/10 has already been cleared.
Anyway, the point is, will I go out to the car one day to find the nice people form Rossendales have taken it for a spin?
Any advice people!!!
