Re: stupid stupid stupid

where is ther 2050 coming from?
unless ive lost it, 225+235 = 460 odd.. not 2050???

i came home to a letter saying i have until 17/11 to pay 2050 or they will force able gain entrance

We need to find out how much the LO's were for, the compliance and enforcement fees have been added to that
£2050-£460=£1590

Re: stupid stupid stupid

no as yet there is no arrangement in place i did send of my income and expenditure form but didnt hear anything back and had no forms to make interim payments, I am aware this is my fault as i did the ostrich act and truly do intend to pay but need to get past monday and gwt something in place

You realty need to contact the EA tell them that you have not received a response to your a and e and are eager to commence payments, as Kati said if you have worked out what you can reasonably afford per month then send the first payment as a sign of good will and tell them that you have done so.

£1482.33 CT debt ... then they added summons and LO costs too?
That would mean that the costs added by the council added up to £567.67!!!!!

Re: stupid stupid stupid

i will double check the most recent letter to see if they have added an extra charge
thx again for all the advice

Re: stupid stupid stupid

If you go back to the beginning, did they write to you first - should be headed Notice of Enforcement - can you remember when you received these? And the date you had to get in touch with them by?
Did you contact them before the date they stipulated?
At what stage did you submit your I&E?
What date is on your Controlled Goods Agreement?

Re: stupid stupid stupid

ems, is this the same debt from http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...stow-and-sutor ? Just might help others to know a bit more of the background.

Re: stupid stupid stupid

I can try writing a letter and handing it to him, i almost want to go to court to try and arrange something with them the officers at my local court were really helpfull when i was trying to sort things for my mum.. I have no problem talking to people face but am scared about someone on my doorstep..what if he trues to push past me im just scared i want to sort this i really do ...would it be worth sending an email to rossendales explaining my situation ?

I have quickly read the previous posts that you made in 2012 and at that time, there seemed to be a lot of confusion as you had Bristow & Sutor chasing council tax debts and you were also making payments to Newlyn's. Now you have Rossendales .

To try to keep this query as clear as possible can you post back to let us know the following:

Are you still paying either Bristow & Sutor or Newlyn?

Did you clear both accounts with them?

The debt that is now with Rossendales is for three different Liability Orders. Are these new Liability Orders or are they connected with ones previously with Bristow & Sutor or Newlyn's?

If the debts are connected with the previous ones then it is very important to find out the following information:

The amount of each Liability Order obtained from the council.

Precise amount of fees previously charged by Bristow & Sutor & Newlyn. The reason why this is important is due to the change of regulations on 6th April when a new fees scale was introduced.

When you returned the Income & Expenditure back to Rossendales what was the figure that you could afford to repay each month?

Clearly this account should be referred to the Rossendales Welfare Dept so that a sensible payment arrangment can be put in place but it would be helpful if you could first provide some of the information outlined above.

PS: Please try not to worry. The Controlled Goods Agreement is not one that I would worry about at this moment in time. It has potential flaws.

Re: stupid stupid stupid

yes get back to the EA, the document given to you sounds compliant, it was in the presence of minor of course but that is ok if they were accompanied, and i presume that there was some kind of repayment method indicted on the note. What was agreed ?

The Controlled Goods Agreement should have upon it the terms of repayment that have been agreed between both parties. I am unsure from ems replies whether payment terms are outlined. I would not be too concerned either way.

In any event,it is so rare for household goods to actually be taken (less than 0.5% of cases). Unless the sofa is a good quality leather one there is virtually no value in it.

Yes I think the point of the exerciser is to cause the maximum inconvenience rather than earmark a potential sale of goods.

In my above post from yesterday I stated that it is so importand to find out what previous charges have been applied to your account by Newlyn & Bristow & Sutor. I cannot stress how important this is as it may have an impact on the charges now applied and almost certainly will be the case if the debts being pursued by Rossendales are for the same accounts.

You have already been charged an Enforcement Fee of £235 so the only additional fee Rossendales could apply would be in the most unlikely event of your goods actually being removed. A fee of £110 would be added.

As I said yesterday the Controlled Goods Agreement 'appears' to have potential flaws. We will know more from your response.

Re: stupid stupid stupid

Yes as Milo says a request for a breakdown of charges already applied is required as a matter of urgency.
