Hi guys!
I am wondering if any of you can help me please? This is quite a long story so i apologise but i have to tell you the lot in order for you all to understand the situation!
Me and my husband had fallen behind with our council tax and it was passed to jacobs we were on benefits at the time and they accepted £5 per week ( debt was £400 inclusive of all charges), i never missed a payment i then got a letter telling me to stop paying as they needed to do a review. A week later i started work only 16 hours a week and my husband is still on incapcity benefit so im not that much better off! I have offered them £10 a week as the debt is only £324 however they wouldnt accept it and threatened to come and take my stuff! A family member has offered to help us out so i have offered them £20 a week which they have accepted, however i received a letter this morning confirming the offer but they will still be sending a bailiff out to levy and secure the debt and this will incur more costs!!! I feel like this debt will never be paid because they just keep adding cost after cost on but i can never get a full explanation to these costs!! Can anyone help please? I am certainly not allowing them into my house!!! the only worry is my husband let them into the house last year to "discuss a payment plan" and when i got in from the shop he was here! I am not sure if this was a walk in possession and i cant remember if i signed anything!
