hi all :beagle:
where do i start????
i have an out standing debt with stafford council tax , in 2008. which was being paid out of my Job seekers allowance at sauce at a rate of £3.25 a week. i come off Job seekers allowance and started to work on the 1 of june this year. had a new council bill come and i owe £1,192.00. £650.44 for this year and £541.56 for the out standing debt. phoned them upto say that i was making a clame for houseing and council tax benafit as i only got £300 every 4 weeks and to ask for a payment plan for the debt that i owned and one was sent on the 15/6/2010 and the first payment was to be on the 3/7/2010 for £83.44 but i could not pay on that date as i did not get any wages till the 25/7/2010. did phone and explain why it was going to be late. was told that i would get a instalment reminder letter sent out, it came on the 10/7/2010. i thought that the payment plan included this years and the debt. then i got a letter from Bristow&sutor on the 14/7/2010, stating that they were actting on behalf of stafford council and that i owed £850.68. which i must pay immediately or to contact the office. so i did and was told i had to ring the bailiff on his mobil phone. having used up most of my credit on my phone i sent the bailiff a text stating who i was and a ref no: and to please ring me back to arrange a payment plan. he did not ring me back at this point. then on the 3/8/2010 he came to the house . i was not in and he left a letter headed final warning. again i rang him got no reply. next day i rang again and again the day after . he then rang me back on the 5/8/2010. said he had to come round and do a levy and i would have to pay the full amount. I said i was not in and he could come round on the 6/7/2010/ no he came round les than 20 mins after the call inspite of me telling him that i was out. he could not get in the house but he did go round the back and make a list of goods in the garden that he could see from the path at the back looking over the fence. then put a letter through the letter box notice of seizure of goods and a list of the goods.
can he do this by just looking over a fence and with out my permision the path that he went down is not a public right of way but access to the back of our houses only.
also can the bailiff list any amimals on the levy.?
and can he take them in 5 days time if i have not signed any of the paper work or seen him face to face?
