    Re: reclaiming bailiffs charges

    (1) £11.20 for a letter is correct.

    (2) Where the sum demanded and due does not exceed £100 - £28
    Where the sum demanded exceeds £100 = 28% on the first £200 due and 5.5% on any additional sum over £200

    (3) For attending to levy distress but where the levy is not made, the reasonable costs and charges for attending to levy. The costs and charges are not to exceed the fees and charges which would have been due above if the distress had been levied.The costs and charges are subject to taxation.

    The aggregate costs and charges payable under paragraphs 2 and 3 are not to exceed the costs and charges allowed for three attendances to levy distress.

      Re: reclaiming bailiffs charges

      Thanks, I have got that info from a guide I downloaded but I'm having trouble making sense of the two different bits of information. The breakdown I have had doesn't seem to bear much resemblance to what you have posted, so am I right in thinking that some of the charges could be appealed? Sorry, the language just doesn't make much sense to me....

        None of the fees you have quoted are provided for in law. What is provided for in law, is what I posted above - so yes, get them back.

            Not quite sure how this has happened but the council have agreed to cancel the ticket and have told the bailiffs to refund me! Hurray!

              Just a stab in the dark here, but do you think it's possibly because what they did was illegal...?

                Yes I know but it was all so quick, I thought I'd have to take them to court and all it took was one letter!
