Originally had a Council Tax debt of £167.00.
A fee was added of £75.00.
I agreed to pay £20.00 per month and did so on 15th of each month.
At the end of August 2017 I owed £62.00.
Stupidly I forgot to pay on the 15th September and
on Wednesday I got home from work to a hand delivered letter which turned out to be an Enforcement Order with a further £235.00 of charges.
I contacted the Bailiff by text and offer 50% of the £62.00 now and the balance next month but he was not interested.
He wanted me to pay the total £297.00 the next morning.
I asked what the next stage was and he menacingly answered "You will have to wait and see."
I was hoping to be debt free by the end of the year, but these mean it will be another year.
Can anyone please give some advice ?
This means that my charges exceed the value of the original debt and he is expecting me to pay more than I can afford.
Can I challenge the Enforcement Charge?
Can I pay the charge by setting up a payment plan?
Thanks in advance.
