  • Error in council tax and baliff charges

    I received a council tax debt for an address I lived at 4 years ago,I received the baliff last november and I have paid 1265 to baliffs by payment instalments of 100 a couple of months and paid a lump sum of 465 pounds off a couple of weeks ago. I thought the debt was complete but then received another baliff letter for 146. I felt this was right and discovered I had been charged for 5 months on this discovery the council re-immersed me for the amount the council have charged us
    So the orginal bill before the reimbursement was 727 but rossendale baliffs have 2 deprecate charges one for one tax year which is 929 and another tax year which is 208. Rossendale state this is the bill the council deny they have requested this amount and stated it is fees. I had requested a breakdown of fees and this clearly states these amounts were requested from the council. I have put a formal compliant into the council regarding this.
    The second part of my problem is rossendales have charged for attandance/van fee after the debt has been completed which they have clearly stated in the breakdown of charges and payments. They have also missed a payment which was made and there is not one date which is the same in my bank statements. I have complained about the baliff charges to the lgo. I know realise after reading various threads that this will not be looked at as I have only put a formal compliant into the council about the in discrepancies of the debt rather than the baliff charges. During the time this was happening I was awaiting a capibility hearing at work as I have a long term disability which is arthritus and affecting my work as a nurse and I also have a child under one. The added stress of this made me very ill. Can anyone help I am finding this so frustrating. By the way council stated baliff actions have nothing to do with them is this correct and can visit fees levy fees and walking poss all be charged for two seperate accounts for same address but different tax years. Many thanks sorry about length of post

    Re: Error in council tax and baliff charges

    You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:
    1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you
    2 - the dates they were obtained
    3 - the addresses they were for
    4 - the period of time each covers
    5 - how much each one was for
    6 - how much is still outstanding
    7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement
    8 - the dates & amounts of any payments

    You say you have asked the Bailiffs for a breakdown of their charges - if you have received a reply can you list them complete with dates.
