Nothing particularly high value or exciting, just stuff I've accumulated over the years that could be easily sold to raise some quick cash - personal electronics, old camera gear, guitar stuff, old games consoles, etc. I couldn't really imagine an EA chasing someone down for a Mega Drive I've sold them on eBay, but you never know!

Correct with regards the letters and fees (the first seems to have come by normal post, the second hand delivered - a family member heard knocking on the door whilst they were in the shower, came downstairs afterwards to find the envelope). That was exactly my plan, it was just having read BA's comments in another thread about goods being bound immediately following the issue of the NoE that I thought I'd better clarify before I did anything potentially foolish. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks all AFAIK there is only one Liability Order, dated May 2012 (although I haven't confirmed this with the council, this is from the NoE). The NoE I have is dated 12 Jan 2016. The EA's hand-delivered letter is from 25 Feb. I don't recall (and can't find) any correspondence between these two letters. Some of the goods in question are in my usual residence, the rest are in storage (I.e. piled up in boxes in my parents' home from the various times I've moved in the interim).

Yes, unfortunately ended up on a pile and I didn't see it in time. Have had one visit from an EA (while I was out) to hand deliver his notice of the amount due including the £235 enforcement stage fee and his intention to take control of goods. Edit: That was around a week ago. I don't mind the fact that I'll have to pay the additional fees (although I wish I'd spotted it sooner!), I'm just trying to find options to come up with the money for them quicker.

Yes, this is a recent enforcement of an old debt. Enforcement stage began about a week ago.

Quick question re. what I've been reading about bound goods. I'm currently at Enforcement Stage for an old Council Tax amount on a previous address (from ~4-5 years ago). I'm unable to pay the full amount currently, and they don't seem particularly keen on an affordable instalment arrangement. My intention is to sell goods this week to raise funds to at least allow me to make a larger up-front payment in the hope of negotiating repayments for the remaining amount (if not raise enough to pay off the full amount). However, I have read this morning that my goods are considered bound from the point that the NOE is issued. Will I therefore be committing an offence if I attempt this (possibly disposing of goods while bound)? No EA has entered the property, and no goods have been taken under control (and some of the goods I intend to sell are stored elsewhere in any case). Note: there is no suggestion of selling/transferring ownership to avoid seizure or to subsequently retake possession of the items following the end of enforcement action. Any money raised from the sale of the items will be used to repay the EA.
