bailiff tactics

Re: bailiff tactics

I have received letter from bailiff saying any further letters relating to this will not be responded to. And they are going to continue action in respect of £404.03.
They are ignoring the charges at the wrong address of £219.33.

They are also ignoring the final penalty notice of charges of £282.03 where I am disputing their visits. The statement and the invoice still have the wrong address.

I am awaiting the reply from the council. I have stated that the bailiff have committed an offence under Section 4 of the fraud act 2006. And if they do continue that I shall put a complaint to the courts and the LGO. This letter was written 30 January.

My daughters car as been scrapped and taken by the council in November.
Can they still chase her for these illegal fees.

Many thanks

my daughters penalty tickets

The bailiff as just been whilst we was out and left the intended to remove letter with the cost of 544.56.
listing tv Micrwave fridge fridge freezer hoover washing machine. This is getting worse again instead of better they have listed 3 parking tickets on the letter. I have telephoned the council and they have told me that I need to make a complaint to the odbudsman and given me their address, They say that they have not responded to my letter of the 30.01.10 because they had already responded to the first complaint.
I find thi unbelievable Should I now go and report ths to the police.

Re: bailiff tactics

Justice, Amy is dealing with this by PM I believe. Its all a bit confuaing to be honest. If the bailiff attended whilst you were out, and did not gain entry, there is no way they could have levied on your goods. This can be sorted but it all needs putting into order etc etc which is being done. In the meantime, don't panic. I know thats easier said than done but believe me you can deal with this. I have recently had bailiffs at my house too but I have sorted it, through listening to advice and not being intimidate by them.

Re: bailiff tactics

It does not matter if your daughter has scrapped her car, by scrapping the car you have broken the law, while the car is under levy it is property of the court and by scrapping you can face a criminal conviction for criminal damage and theft, this is the point of a levy/ walking posession, that the property remains in your posession buy you have no right to sell it or dispose of it, if you do you can face criminal charges

Re: bailiff tactics

That's interesting Tia and something I hadn't realised. For future reference can you point me in the right direction as regars the law on this?

Thanks

Wendy B thankyou for your support, They did not come into the house because my husband was home.
they left the seizure note at the entrance letter box. But when they original came and payment arrangements were made,does that mean that they can come back again anytime because she has stopped the payments.

Re: bailiff tactics

Does not make any difference if the car was no good or whether it was the council or someone out the back of the paper who removed it, The courts could still do you for theft as ignorance of the law is not a defence, sorry if this sounds harsh but this is the facts plain and simple

Re: bailiff tactics

Then again if the forms are in place this does not matter.

Re: bailiff tactics

Justice, I need to check a few things, I'm getting confused.

1. You are awaiting a reply to your SAR?
2. You need to decide whether to take the Form 4 route or the ACEA route with a complaint?

I thought a fridge and washer machine were considered essential for living and were not able to be removed by a bailiff? Can somebody please clarify this for me? Thanks

Re: bailiff tactics

Bailiffs cannot seize household equipment and provisions as are necessary for satisfying the basic domestic needs the debtor and the debtor's family. This would normally include the fridge, cookers and freezers, but may not include video recorders, second TV's (note second, not only) jewellery, washing machines, stereos or microwaves.

The one thing you must always bear in mind however is that bailiffs will lie.

Re: bailiff tactics

yes I am waiting for the Full SAR and the ACEA say that they cannot look into the complaint if I take it to the court. the council have now sent me a form asking if i require a SAR from them, and need a £10 charge if required.
I have replied to the council saying that I have paid £10 to the bailiff company, and my request from them is to look into the matter of their bailiff and my complaint to see if things can be resolved without my taking things further.

Re: bailiff tactics

The bailiffs( Collect Services ) settlement figure was £300 I have repeateadly asked how they have reached that figure and what penalty notices this is against. They have refused to do this and now carrying on charging whatever they like.
If one has a dispute surely we are entitled to know what the credit they offered is against and what the balance remaining is against.
They have taken the £287 of the wrong penalty notice. not the aggreement on the overcharging , so are they also admitting they have also overcharged on the final penallty notice.
This is not about trying to get any compensation but to stop bailiffs being able to act this way, I have paid £1,010 already and not prepared to give them another penny.
The ACEA claim that they promote high standards amongst its members civil enforcement agencies and this is why I am contemplating this route, they have all my paperwork and awaiting my reply. But this will mean that I cannot take this to court.

Re: bailiff tactics

I would if i were you first have the recovery orders revoked. Then put the company on 7/14 days notice and issue for the full amount. They can then make whatever excuses they want to make and explain it to a judge. however the other way around it is you issue for non compliance but with exprience you wont get very far with this. The main thing is the recovery order.
