  • Jacobs Baliffs

    Hello

    I have/ had some council tax debts, which were passed on to Jacobs, there were 4 in total. I did let the bailiff in and he checked some of my stuff and wrote them down on some paper. We agreed a payment plan of £80 a month I signed and then he was gone. I have Aspergers syndrome and I hate being a round people. So I signed it without reading it, which was a mistake as when the letter came confirming the payments it had gone upto £160 a month. I phone them up and I was told that £160 a month is the minimum payment, so the bailiff would not have agreed to £80. They also said the council has a time limit on when it has to be payed and thats why £160 is the minimum payment. I told them that O could not afford that, and the reply was to let the bailiffs take my stuff then.

    Noe 3 of the debts have been paid and I made a payment today, only to be informed that another coucil tax debt had come in. Infact it was a month ago that they received it. I was asked if I wanted to sort there and then, but ad I am struggling to pay the £160 a month at the expense of my current council tax bill, I said I would lever it till later. She then said see would sent it on to the bailiffs. What would you advice that I do now as I really cannot afford to pay more a month.

    Can you list the goods seized exactly as described on the Notice of Seizure you were left? Have you had a breakdown of the fees they have charged - if not, use Letter 1 @ http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...Useful-Letters

      The Asperger's, alone, may make you vulnerable under National Guidelines.

      Did the bailiff claim he had to gain entry to your home and obtain a levy in order to set up a payment plan? If he did this, he has been disingenuous and may have invalidated any levy he may claim to have as well as having broken the law in the process.

      Did the bailiff and the local authority know you have Asperger's? Do you have a carer or support worker at all?

          I wouls make the council aweare of your Aspergers, and provide proof, I don't think they would like the negative publicity they may get if Jacobs go in heavy against you as a vulnerable debtor.

            Non sense, yes, there is a time limit on the period you need to pay this, and unless you owe £1,600 then they should set up a payment plan for what you owe divided by the amount of months the liability order has left before it reaches 366 days.
            The Black rat (Rattus rattus) is a common (hence the accusation of being Pleb) long-tailed rodent of the genus Rattus (rats) in the subfamily Murinae (murine rodents). The species originated in tropical Asia and spread through the Near East in Roman times (another thing that we ought to thanks the Romans for, besides roads, aqueducts and public toilets) before reaching Europe by the 1st century and spreading with Europeans across the world.
