Rossendales and Council tax bill
Hi, i have two liability orders from stafford borough council and the problem i have is that i have is, i had arranged to pay back £20 a week in a stacked arrangement, which i payed the first on on time but paid the second payment late but was still accepted. Then when i came to make the subsequent payments it said that it had been referred to the bailiff and i had to make all dealings through him. i then recieved a bailiff removeal form in my letter box on the 3/8/2011 saying that i had 24hrs to make full payment of the balance which had rocketed from £395.50 before his visit to £562.50 after his visit(there is no breakdown of charges to explain his £167 hike in costs).
so i phoned the number to explain that i had an arrangement in place albeit i was a little late in paying but was goin to pay what i owed to get back in line with my arranged payments, but he just said there is no arrangement in place now and that he wanted payment in full and that i only had days and not weeks to make payment. i told him that i couldnt do it, he just said i would have to borrow it of somene then pay them back. i told him that was not an option but he said he would be coming for my goods, which his where my big problem lies, i got fooled by a different bailiff before and i let him in as he said it was about making arrangements about paying weekly and i signed what i thought was an agreement to this. i now know it was a walking possesion form.
but im not sure what happens because the bailiff removal form he posted has a different rossendales ref number than the walking possesion order that i signed. the money he his requesting is for the first liabilty order i got and the walking possesion order is for the sencond liability order.
so what do i do? he is saying that he can break in even tho its not the account that the walking possesion order is for. i dont want to let him in to save on damage he my cause by forced entry(i live in apparment block with a comunal entrance so would have to pay for two doors ro be fixed/replaced) to find out ive been fooled again and then end up with another walking possesion order.
i managed to buy a little time with him, i have got to phone him tomorrow(monday 8th aug) to arrange payment for thursday. i am in court though on tuesday morning filing for bankruptcy so was also wondering where i stand with the walking possesion order when im bankrupt?
he also says my car has been noted even though there is 25+ cars where i live and i was at work in it the day he posted the letter.
so pleas any advice would be great. i have read the bailiff guide but i cant get the answers i require from there. i also have spoke to national debtline who were very good and understanding but they were not very clear on the dilemma i have posted above.
thanks
