Hello everyone!
I'm new, and at my wit's end.
I have been having money trouble for years, I recieve Widowed Mother's Allowance and work part time weekend nights...I also have a slight disability and can't walk very far so I really need my car!
I October last year I had a visit from Equita, who levied on my car and threatened to remove it (car is worth about £200), this is for council tax debt of about £3,500 altogether, I know, stupid me but things just got out of control.
I managed to borrow £500 from my mother in law, and Equita agreed to that and £25 per week, starting on the 27th November.
I have paid this religously.
However, I am still getting constant letters, and have had two doorstep visits.
One was about 6 weeks ago, I showed the bailiff the agreement, she said that she knew I had been paying but it "wasn't enough" and she could take my car regardless. Then when I argued this she said she would contact the office and phone me, but I never heard from her after.
Today I had a visit from a different bailiff, also from Equita, I was out but they pushed a removal notice through my letterbox.
I just don't know what to do....In the last 3 months I have had about twenty letters and two doorstep visits, despite my keeping to the agreement.
Can anyone please help or advise me?
Thanks in advance.
