Hi everyone, Hope someone can help. Me and the other half fell into arrears with council tax last year and we received notice of a liability order, and information saying they were going to apply for an attachment of earnings from my partner. Great no probs, from their percentage scales they'll only be able to take an affordable amount anyway. Ever since then we've heard nothing about the arrears at all, and today we received a letter from equita through normal post with a 24 hour removal notice which is dated 24/01/2013. They state that they have tried to make contact with us, but we've not had anything else posted or shoved through the door since the last contact from the council. They're threatening with charges in excess of £200 will be added. The letter isn't even signed by a person, just the bailiff manager in lovely script print. Should we contact the council and just pay them directly? Bit annoyed that we've not received any other correspondence from them about it after their initial letters. Thanks Bri

Please can someone help! Had a visit today from a bailiff stating i owe £450 for TV license debt from 2008 from a previous address in another area. I called the majestrates court and told them it was the first i had heard about the debt. They advised that i did actually aknowledge the debt back in 2008 and made a £30 payment so a stat dec is not an option. The court advised me to call their fine department which i did and they say because i had a baby 7 months ago, self employed on maternity allowance am classes as vunerable and should be allowed to have the debt passed back to themselves and just pay the original £150 and have baliff taken out the eqasion. So i called marstons, spoke to someone who clearly could not be bothered to be there said i was told a crock of lies (his words) and it was up to the majestrates to claim the debt back. Another call to majestrates, they confirmed they could NOT take the debt back and its up to marstons or the other option they told me - IGNORE IT?!!! they say just dont answer the door or let them in......i don't want a default of CCJ though been working hard to sort out my finances. Called marstens again spoke to someone who was incredibly rude and told me to call the baliff as it was HIS decision NOT the companys to send back the dbt?!! Am confused and have spent the past 2 hours on the phone back and forth whilst trying to look after a 7 month baby. Its seriously stressing me out and inder loads of pressure from baliff HELP please xx
