I set up a standing order with Stirling park for £40 per month . in june the first payment was to be taken on the 2nd of july . Stirling park then arested my wages citing that I should of made a payment in June even though my direct debit was in place . I sent info to the sherif court (north straclyde) along with a time to pay offer . to pay £20 a month (the amount I origanally wanted to pay stirling park but they rejected this ) . On friday I recived a Interlocutor . from the court excepting my offer of £20 per month . I phoned stirling park to set up new payment , they claimed to have no knowlage of this and would have to speak to the court to find out more . I need to set my payments up within 1 month of the desision (before 18th august ) my question is should I set this up through the court , Stirling park or direct to the council . and will I need to do anything else to remove the original arrestmet or will the sherriff court have done this when the time to pay was excepted ?

On the 13th of April 2012 I recived a letter from Stirling part Sheriff Officers stating that I owed East ayrshire council(EAC) 2500 in council tax between the dates of 2003/04 up to 2007/08 . I contacted Stirling park saying that the info they had was wrong and to get the referance numbers so I could contact the council on this . On Monday 21st may 2012 I recived a letter from EAC saying they agreed in part with me and I now owned them £1641.36 . The same day Stirling park carried out a Sheriff officer visit to my house . Theire paper work has the new amount of £1641.36 on it as my letter stated that EAC would contact stirling park to inform them of there new demands . My questions are 1, if I ask to set up a direct debit can Stirling park refuse the amount I offer to pay 2 , as Stirling park recived the new paperwork from EAC but still peformed a sheriff visit that they are charging me £75 for can I reject the charge for this as they knew I was dealing with the council 3, the tax owned was Joint with a former partner who I am no longer in contact with . How can I ensure she pays her half rather than me paying it all any help greatly recived
