Thanks again to both of you for taking time to answer and my apology, it was my bad in putting bailiffs down instead of sheriff officer in first place, was just bit narked to face possibility of a legal house invasion for something that was fault of another (not GF she was as wound up as me) Will be taking the advice and getting to bottom of it with hopefully an amicable outcome

While posting on the forums on another subject I received this in an old email account that I have not used for nearly two years. Sorry if It doesnt post formatted correctly as I copy and pasted from inbox only removing identifying and account details. Sort of ties in with what else has been said here except for few things, it is my sons debt for a phone that was stolen and reported as stolen,so they have passed me information on his details and debt and I have not used the email address it came into for 2 yrs ,new way of finding people or are they bulk mailing to anyone with name. Sure this would come under breach of data protection act for passing personal details ??

Thanks for that Crocdoc it explains what required and what can be attached if they do enforce the summary warrant , but do you have or can you point me to the information where it states what classed as jointly liable as the section you supplied states several times "clients property". This property is solely mine as my GF has no liability for it in any shape or form ,be it mortgage payments,current council tax or insurance and was not even at this address during the period they chasing for. We have not been residing together long enough to be classed as common law man and wife. If she walked out this afternoon the status quo of house would not change in respects of bills and taxes. she will be taking both your and I hate,s advice in relation to contacting Authority over the outstanding amount as it does seem it as I stated above,the private landlord passing wrong information to enable him to re-let house with council tax free period

Thanks both of you but Im getting conflicting information here. To clarify, prior to my girlfriend moving in she lived in her own house with her youngest daughter and received appropriate working tax credits and housing benefit,I was not registered on her rental details in any shape or form and did not stay at the property I lived in my own home (in different council area) and neither she or anyone else was or is registered on my mortgage details,so I paid my full tax amount to my council and she had whatever her amount was paid by benefits to her council. We were dating not partners or married The letter received is a notice of enforcement and does not state details only a total and a paragraph stating that they will attend week commencing and a failure to attend will result in enforcement of summary warrant. We have it seems figured out where the amount comes from and it appears the person she private rented the house from has said she was staying there longer than she actually was and this is something we or she will have to deal with direct from council as the enforcement notice gives no dates

Firstly let me apologize if I have placed this in wrong section. Some brief information to start with. I live in Scotland (If it makes a difference) and have resided in my current property for nearly 20 years ,the last 10 years of that being and currently am the sole person on the mortgage details.My council tax has been paid in full (no single person discount) to my local council Just over a year and a half ago my girlfriend moved in with me when her youngest moved to live with her ex husband. A few weeks ago she received a warrant notice for her time at previous residence (prior to her moving in with me we lived in different council areas) This notice has advised that bailiffs will be attending my home within the next few weeks for the outstanding amounts (I do understand that this is the initial notice and the sum is not large £200 or so) I know my girlfriend will have to try sort out where the outstanding amount has came from (appears to be something to do with working tax or housing benefit) but at present she is getting the "will call you back/supply details" with no follow up run around. So Im not trying to excuse or ignore the debt My question is where do I stand with this? I really dont like the idea of ,worst case scenario items that I have worked long and hard to collect being warranted for something that is not my debt or my kids consoles and laptops being itemized if they gain entry when I am at work. As my girlfriend moved from a pre furnished house nearly everything was purchased prior to her moving in by myself or family. From little bits I have read partners items cant be taken if proved they do not belong to the person owing the debt,I dont keep last weeks messages receipt or goods warranties unless they give me more than statutory minimum so there is no chance of me having receipts for two or three years ago Any advice would be appreciated
