I Also live in a flat that you have to gain entry through a communal door, and then my front door.


I have rang the number and he told me I need to speak to friends and family, I can call him back to pay tonight or in the morning because I have got till tomorrow to pay it.


Can anyone give me any advice?


Can he gain entry by force in anyway or use a locksmith?
has he really been to court for this as there is no court fee?


what are my rights? please help.

Re: EQUITA please help

You should have received a letter at lest 7 days ago stating that the liability order had been sent to the enforcment agent.

They cannot force entry unless they have been in your property previously and taken control of goods. If you do not let them in they will have no option but to send the order back to the authority. Their next option may be to issue an attachment to any benefits or earnings.
