One year ago a Bailiff turned up at on my door from Rundles demanding payment of around £5000 for an unpaid council debt from five years ago, there were three separate liability orders.
The debt was from an address I shared with some friends, I managed to get the account put on hold by the council and proved successfully to the council that I was not liable for the whole bill because I only lived at the address for one year not the three years they were claiming.
The council sent me a revised bill which I paid in full, they also sent me a statement of my account which clearly states my balance as zero.
Two months after I paid this bill to the council, Rundles visited my house again claiming that I had not made any payments to them, this is correct because I paid the council direct as they sent me the revised bill. They made a phone call to the council and then stated that I only owed them £85 for fees.
Today I received a threatening letter from Rundles stating that they will be removing goods from my property in the next few days. As far as I know they cannot remove goods for fees if this is the case how can they be allowed to send this letter to me?
The letter also references a Liability order which has been closed by the council, would this not be classed as trying to obtain money by deception?
I don't trust Rundles if I pay the £85 how do I know that they wont start chasing me for more money.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to solve this problem.
