thank for you advice, you are right I am new and not very sure how thread work.

iThanks for the advice, i DO 'T THINK i UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF LEVY. When the bailiff came he dud not say anythink about levy, my car was outside. I learnt from Recovery that the bailiff put levy on my car, he did not give me anything in regards to mycar , I have not sign anything As my car is use for employment is not exempt from levy in the first place, He told me that he will take my car anyway/

I need some information and hopefully one of you can help me. I had two liability orders for Council Tax 1st for join account (April to July 2009), second singe discount account (July to March 2010). Same address. the second account was created as my husband has moved out. I paid some money but it was it what they asked. I got liability orders in February. On 18 of march the bailiff turn up and demanded £173 for single discount account and £220 for joint account. plus his fees. (over £450) When bailiff came I told him I paid off he left and stated that he would call me . When he left I w phoned council and paid all over the phone. It was after 8pm. #Now he is demanding £450 on his fees. He stated that is for letters and van fees and levy. I told him that my car is use for employment and I send relevant documents to his company, letter from my boss, copy of essential service user. I threaten me saying that he is taking the car anyway. I have a new car which is worth over £7500. I already complain to council but have to wait , As advised I went to see councilor and he wrote letter to council I am really worried and park 5 minutes walk from my house. I live in London. so there are a lot of cars on each road. My questions are: 1. Can my car be taken it anyway as I have not pay his fees 2 He asked me for £450 as after investigation with his company, they stated that they visited me twice on the 2nd and 15th of march. They maybe came I can not say but no notice was left for me at all. Equita stated that it was different bailiff as when I asked the bailiff who visited on 18th he stated that it was his first visit. Is their words against my. No-one has access to my house. 3. Equita stated that I was visited twice by different bailiff, so I have to pay for first and second visit twice as I had two liability orders, and van fee and levy fees twice as well, Do I have to pay for van fee if the levy was unlawful. Is £160 for van fee. To clarify he can in a small car. the only letter he left was 'removal notice 'for one account with two amount to pay written by pan. when asked when is other letter he stated that is in his car. 4 Do I have to pay him at all, what he can do if I do not pay at all. I am really concern because the whole situation is effecting my kids and my work.

Hi

I phone Equita and they saying that they came to visit me twice on the 2nd and 15 of March , but I have not received any information through door, they stated that they not charged for letters, the 42.50 was for two previous visit( I do not think they came at all)

As I separated with my husband I had very old car and than my parent gave me money but I have to pay slowly.

Hi When he came he did not say anything, when I phone Recovery Team I was told that he the bailiff put levy, As I do not have any knowledge about it I have never heared about 'Levy ' When I spoke to Bailiff on the phone he stated 'I put levy on your car if you do not pay I will take it tomorrow'

Thanks , I feel much better now I wrote a letter to council about the bailiff's practice went to see CAB but did only gave me few information , they good but I was expecting more, like phone all to the Bailiff and to tell him that hi is wrong. In regards to levy on my car, when he came he did not say anything he left after 5 minutes when I told him that I paid off council tax. he gave me a removal letter just all.

Thanks for your advice I spoke to Equita and they now saying that they are not charging for letters only visits, which were done on 2nd of March and and 15 of March, but I Have not received any note through the door, I only have access ro my house. So I do not think they came on those days. Other issue my is use for work I have a Essential parking pemit and you only get the permit when you demonstrate that you need for work, I look in internet and found out that my car is exept from levy, How much should I pay him. They also said that they have send me a leter after 1st visit on 2nd of March but I swear did not recived any letters from them. My ex husband had a lot of debts and I had to pay bailiffs on two occasion, but I would not ignore a letter from them I am really worriedabout my car because I need for the kids and work.

sorry I am new and was only looking for help thanks

I really need your help. I have problem with the beilif and I am not sure how to sort it out. Until 26 of July 2009 i lived with my husband he left the house and left me with number of unpaid bills and morgage, and of course council tax. After while I got a letter asking to pay uostanding bill, I aproched council and told them that I was happy to pay half but they should ask my husband to pay other half ( as it was join account) they refused and stated that I have to talk to my husband and puy together. they were aware of his address as he apply or housing beneit on his rented property. Because I did not pay they took as to the court and I received summens than than in January a Libility order. I started paying £100 every months and paid off on 18 of March 2010. than on the same day bailif came and said that hi will reposses my car as I did not pay council tax , he asked for £420 the council last payment on 18.03 was £173 . I told him that I paid off , he said that he check with council and phone me back next day. He never phone and next day I went to council and informed them that all councill tax is paid off. they called recovery team and informed them , than they informed bailif. As the bailif told me before leaving that I still have to pay baili charges even if I paid off council tax. I was adviced to call balif as the guy from recovery team told me that the bailif put levy on my car. I phoned him and he told me that on 18 march he visited me for the first time and he put levy on the car. I work for diffrent council and have a esential parking permit and is used for work as I visit families. He did not want me to know what he is charging me but than he explained that he chardes £160 for van fee ( he stated that is standard) £42 .50 for letter ( 2 he said and I have not seen any) 24.50 for levy. He said that he is camming tomorrow to get the car. I was worried and said that I have not got any money and he agreed to wait until 31 of March 2010 I am really woried about the car because is new my parents paied for it but than I pay them slowly . is register in my name but I was thinking to maybe change to my mum name. He was not in the house everything happen outside. He talk to me for 2 minutes and left when I told him that I paid of council tax. It was 8pm and was very dark outside as I am single mum I uswelly do not open door at that time but when I open top window he said that he will reposesed my car . I spoke to council about a letter which they should send to me informing me that my case will be send to bailif. they said that they send it but I have never recieved.
