Re: Newlyn agency

They might threaten the friend for the money if they are resident there, as if you were both living at the same address at the same time it would likely be a joint debt. Some EAs are daft enough to claim they can chase in a foreign jurisdiction. but if you are not in the UK little they can do. The council can go for a committal to prison for willful non payment, but if you aren't here they would be silly to try that. If they did get a warrant they could arrest you at the airport if you came back within say 12 months but again unlikely. Other Beagles could clarify that.

You could offer them payment at a rate you can afford, and tell them that as they cannot enforce at your current address as it is outside 5the UK they cannot attend and add a Sales Fee or try to Take Control Of Goods, so offer them what you can afford, and tell them take it or leave it. Tell the council also that the EA cannot enforce so could they take it back. and you will pay them XX every week/month.

If Screwlyn are silly tell them they can take it or leave it.
