Did this bailiff assault or push past anyone in order to gain entry or stick his boot in the door? If so, he has problems. Big problems. And so does the local authority who employed this numpty. Which local authority and which bailiff company is involved, please?

he did not push past us to get in but he opened the door as i had closed the door to help my hubby to search for old letters as we thought we had payed in 2011

Unfortunately it does sound as if his entry was peaceful & lawful. I note you asked him to leave, was this before he started to write his levy - by rights he should have left but the difficulty is going to be you word against his. Can you tell us exactly what goods he wrote on his Notice of Seizure? By the way his fees are wrong, sounds like another of Marstons bullies.

It's hard to say if this bully has a valid levy or not, but physically ripping an article out of your hands is a definite no-no. That is, effectively, assault and that too, is a definite no-no.

Did he hand you a copy of the Liability Order and Regulation 45, Council Tax (Administration & Enforcement) Regulations 1992 (as amended) as he is legally-obliged to do? Do check with the local authority involved as soon as possible to see if you do, indeed, owe them money. If not, both Tameside Council and Marston Group are in it up to their necks.

Best way of uploading any scans is to convert them to a PDF file. If you download the likes of CutePDF http://www.cutepdf.com/ . It will install as a printer so when you go to print change the printer to CutePDF and instead of printing a hard copy it will create a PDF file instead which you may then upload.

Re: i need help as an notice of distress was forced on me yesterday

We need to establish what goods may be property of another, or exempt and see if what is left is enough to satisfy the debt you have. You need to speak to someone at the Council and ask the following questions:
1 - how many Liability Orders they have against you
2 - the dates they were obtained
3 - the addresses they were for
4 - the period of time each covers
5 - how much each one was for
6 - how much is still outstanding
7 - the dates they were passed on for enforcement
8 - the dates & amounts of any payments
