Notice of Distress

[thisilldo]

Quick question that I can't find an answer to.

Does a bailiff have to identify themselves on a notice of distress.

What I mean by this is that I have received a notice of distress from a bailiff that does not give any details relating to who the bailiff is. There is just a squiggel in the signature box.

From reading around the forum, this seems to be common practice at this bailff firm, because I suspect that they do not use certificated bailiffs to deliver them.

What info needs to be on a notice of distress. If you could just point me in the direction of the correcgt page. Many thanks

Does anybody know the answer to this please? Nobody seems to know Anybody?

I have also in my posession a letter from bailiffs stating that the 3% charge that they levy against your debit card is acceptable and it to cover the costs of admin. I have tonight envoked a chageback on my card. What is the likelyhood taht this will be accepted by Visa?

If Visa do refund my payment what if anything can the bailiff do?

Re: Notice of Distress

All bailiffs collecting unpaid council tax (and some other debts) must be certificated.

Have you asked who signed this letter?

I am losing track here. How much was the outstanding debt and how much of it have you paid?
