Desperate help needed , bailiff on way

[kardave]

hi everyone , probably in wrong place ,but i desperately need help with bailiff coming, i have offered to pay £20.00 weekly to bailiff for 1500 council tax arrears, they say they need to come and do walking possession thing, i'm really scared ,as i have heard once in house they won't agree to what i ca afford and will take my things, i suffer from severe depression and have a son in long term mental health hospital, and just dont know what to do, i need my goods for when my boy comes home for two days a week, any advice please.

You could write to the bailiffs and say that you are a vulnerable household because of your son and you do not have to let the bailiffs in if they turn up, im sure others will be along shortly and advise better than me

good luck tho and just stand your ground with the bailiffs x

Hello there.

 

I'm moving your thread to the bailiffs forum where the guys should be able to help you.

 

My best, HB

lock your door LEGALLY you DO NOT have to allow a bailiff into your home to do a walking possession

[brassnecked]

As per hallow, keep all doors and windows locked, and move any motor a good walk away, there is no law that says you must deal with a bailiff, and keeping him out will limit any legitimate fees. letting him in to list goods is a very bad idea indeed.

Any payments you want to make against this debt do so direct to the council online or automated telephone service

 

do the council know your current situation you may fall into vulnerable category bailiff action should stop contact your local MP if the council wont play ball

Do I take it to be you are a single parent as well? If so do you claim Single Person Discount? Do you claim any other Benefits?

It is so very important that you REFUSE to allow the bailiff to come into your home.

 

You MUST ensure that you do not have a car either outside of your home or parked nearby as this will be taken.

 

Lastly, your really MUST write a letter to the council and copy the bailiff to outline your circumstances and to offer a payment arrangement.
