Hi,
I wondered if anyone could clarify something for me? I am being pursued by Bristow & Sutor for the following charges: (verbatim from their email to me)
"We write with reference to the above and confirm receipt of your email.
With regards to your request we can confirm visits and fees incurred as follows:-
First visit on 10.05.12 at 11.01 to xxxxxxxx no contact made- fee incurred of £24.50
Second visit on 07.06.12 at 10.28 to xxxxxxxx no contact made- fee incurred of £18.00
Third visit made 27.07.12 at 10.56 to xxxxxxxxx- no contact made at property however spoke with bailiff via telephone, goods seized against debt- Levy fee incurred of £55.00. Paperwork was left at the property and a full explanation of fees is listed on the reverse of the notice of seizure of goods.
Please find attached a statement of the account to confirm the balance due of £97.50."
So, the council tax outstanding was paid to the council in full in August of 2012.
On the third visit no actual goods were physically seized, nor have I signed a walking possession agreement.
My question is, am I liable for the 'Levy fee' ? Or just the 'visit fees'. Also, are these fees enforceable under the original court order?
My preference is, naturally, to pay these guys as little as possible, however if they still have the legal right to turn up and try to seize property then I may just pay them the £97.50 to make them disappear.
All advice gratefully received.
