Hi Sorry i am confused
My husband has supposed to be paying the council tax but hasn't so we had the bailiff round yesterday - he left a note "notification of bailiff visit " re costs incurred to our council. My husband spoke to the chap and agreed a payment plan with him but the bailiff was coming to the house at 9am tomorrow and my husband was going to let him in and let him list items such as our tv etc.
I have just found out and after reading through here i contacted the bailiff to ask him not to attend tomorrow as i would not be prepared to let him in and would like time to investigate further my options, I also advised him that he had not provided us with any information on paper regarding how much we owe and he said he'll be coming anyway and would charge us and try to gain access through an open window or door (which is a pain as during the day i usually leave my door open in the back for my pets, i wont be doing that)
He said each time he visited he was charging us £300 which is ridiculous and now my husband is furious i told him not to come, but i dont want him coming in to the house and frankly my husband was under the belief that he could let him in to list only items in the lounge and sign on that.
The bailiff told me that the only way i could set up a payment plan was to allow him access to our home, but I told him i would like to confirm this first and could send a payment in 7-10 days for half the debt.
What should we be doing now? Our council tax bill was £700 he is saying we owe £1000 we are happy to pay £35 a week and then in addition £500 as soon as some money we are expecting has cleared, can we not agree this without allowing him access to our home?
