hi there, i have recently had a visit from a baillift, over council tax repayments.
i originally owed around £250- this got passed over to a debt management company (Bristow&Sutor).
I had a visit and naively let them in, i did so just to sort out a repayment plan. While here the person from the company
made a list of the valuable good i had within the property. After his visit i kept up the repayments of £25 per month, this was to
pay back the original debt plus charges wish im not entirely sure the amount comes to.
I recently missed a payment due to the stress and inconvienance of my property being burgled, i then receieved a letter from the baillifts saying they
had visited my home earlier that day. i then contacted the compant to apologise for my missed payment and the reason for this and give them a date-
which was next fridays date-they agreed. yesterday i then had a visit from a baillift saying i had to pay the debt in full which included another £130 charge
for the home visit - if i did not comply they requested access to seize goods- i refused because my young daughter was in the house. i then pleaded for more time
which he said you have till tommorow to sort out the full payment which is now £414.88.. i cannot afford this and am really frustated and upset mainly bacause
of the intimidation and the fact i only owe around £250 council tax. i know any more visits will result in yet more charges PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
