COUNCIL TAX - Bailiff still wants fees

Re: COUNCIL TAX - Bailiff still wants fees

Outlawlgo,

I really think you should stop pursuing your argument. The law is perfectly clear which is why it was not hard to give the answer in post #2. If you want to advocate breaking the law that is up to you, but it is not something you will ever be supported with on this site.

I'm sure many of us have suffered many of the things you mention, but that does not alter the law. If they make two visits to your house then you owe them £42.50, full stop. There is no argument against that.

Since the Headmaster has ordered it, I shall discontinue.

OMG - don't remind me what I used to be. I'm normal now, I've escaped the prison of schools. Actually that raises a serious point. Does anybody else find that teachers (very broad generalisation coming) can be very petty minded as all they done is go to school, university then back into schools and have very limited insight into the real world?

I always understood that the council paid the bailiffs first and then took the rest. I would check with th ecouncil to find out whether or not the bailiffs have been paid.

If it is paid via the bailiffs, the bailiffs take their fees then pass the remainder to the Council. In this case the OP paid the Council the outstanding CT direct, so no baliff's fees were paid.
