Re: New member - Council tax arrears Equitas
Julia,
A lot of local authorities are providing clauses within their contracts about the number of days that must pass before an 'Enforcement' visit is made (incurring a fee of £235) and even the number of letters that must be sent before such a visit.
In the past few weeks more information is coming through from local authorities about the number of letters etc and time frames for payment arrangements and it is my understanding that in the case of LB of Redbridge a further "reminder" letter must be sent to debtors 16 days after the Notice of Enforcement.
A lot of enforcement companies are finding significant increases in the number of letters and emails being received from debtors but one of the better companies to address correspondence quickly is Equita.
PS: When sending correspondence by email we always suggest that in the 'header box' the following is put:
URGENT: Payment Proposal: Account number: xxxxx
