Last year I was a full time student and exempt from paying council tax when my course ended in May (2012) I claimed JSA until September when I started a new course which gave me exemption from council tax.
For one reason or another (not been made clear to me) I see to have been charged 390.56 in council tax, I tried to chase it up but the council would be to busy on the phones or office when I had spare time to sort it out.
The stupidly stressful time of my 1st year as a degree student and having a family and evening job got in the way and Im forgetful at the best of times I didn't sort it.
I was walking out the door (22.4.13) with my daughter to take her to school as a man approached me he didnt tell me who he was I assumed he was after something so I explained I couldn't stop and he handed me a letter and I said "whatever" or something to that affect and tossed it in my house and quickly took my daughter to school.
When I returned I read the letter and found out it was from Rossendales "Notice Of Bailiffs Attendance" saying I owed £390-56 plus costs, I rang the council about it and said I had to deal with Rossendales so I thought I will sort it out in a day or too when I had spare time as you are aware my time keeping and sense of urgency are rubbish lol and I didn't get round to ringing them to offer them a payment.
Today (10.06.13) I found a letter of "Final Notice" stuffed through my letter box we have been in the house all day and my puppy hasn't barked as she would if someone was at the door and we didnt hear a knock.
I rang the mobile number and asked him what it was all about and he said he wanted full payment, I said i didn't have it and could make an offer and he said he couldn't take a payment and will be back tomorrow to collect.
They posted a "Notice of Distress" with an Inventory of 1x Car Ford (reg number) which was parked on my front (it is my car which I use for work delivering pizza).
Client debt = 390.56
1st visit fee = nothing written
2nd visit fee = 42.50
Levy fee = 38.00
Walking possession = illegiable
Other = what looks like 3 x's
Total = £601.06
I have read your help pages on dealing with them and will not let them in, if no one is in they can not force entry I assume.
If I go out and return in they cant stop me from entering my house or enter with me if I dont give them permission?
Thank go this forum exists you are live savers!!
Thanks Dave
