Hi Everyone

[nogger]

I am currently in dispute with a bailiff company employed by my local authority to recover unpaid council tax. I had agreed with the bailiffs to pay by installments over a 12 month period and duly made these payments. When we requested a statement of account after the 12 month period the debt was still at the original level and only the bailiff fees had been paid. I have issued an SAR to the bailiff and have had a quick reply giving all the information requested.

The statement of account from the bailiff is missing a lot of payments for which I have bank statements as proof of payment.

It appears that the bailif has "Levied" on items in my garden, i.e. table, chairs, parasol, kids paddling pool & BBQ. I have not previously been given a copy of the levy and have therefore not signed anything.

The bailiff has now attended my property with a view to remove these goods and threatened to enter the house and take other goods.

So I now have a number of queries: -

Is the Levy legal?
Can they charge me for the Levy?
Can they charge me for the attendance to remove?
Can they enter the house and take goods?
What's my next step regarding the missing payments?

Can someone point me in the right direction to answer my queries, your assistance is appreciated.
