Hi Niddy,
Apologies i haven't been on here much and have taken so long to reply. I haven't received any letters from any DCA's in weeks/months. Your last templates have really slowed them up
Anyways...another problem...
I rented a flat Nov 2009 - Nov 2010. Council Tax got on top of me at the time, I had court summons, baliffs on the doorstep etc.. In Nov 2010 I was due to move out so contacted the council and the baliffs. I had some money, so settled the 09-10 bill in full and paid token amounts 100, and 50 towards the 10-11 bill.
The baliffs were collecting for the full year 2010-2011...obviously as i was moving out i was never going to pay that much, so i wrote to the council and asked to pay the pro rata amount in full.
I called the council and asked to pay the balance once i'd written to them but they said i needed to deal with the baliffs. I spoke to the baliffs and they said they hadn't received confirmation of the pro rata amount as yet (early Nov 2010).
I said, as soon as they had confirmation of the full amount, to call or contact me at my parents address and i would settle up immediately. I heard nothing from them....no phonecalls, letters, nothing.
Until Wednesday...the baliff turned up at my elderley mothers house demanding money in full immediately (which is fine if i were there...but my mother can't handle stuff like this...)
I received the call from an irate mother with a skinhead bouncer-like baliff to hand... said i'd settle up in full in a couple of days once i'd had chance to gather some money.
The problem i have... I am disputing the amount. I want to pay £700...but they are trying to collect £740. Basically, they are charging me for turning up to collect despite never sending any letters or calling once since November!
I have the money and want to pay in full but i'm not paying a calling fee when they have never sent a letter or called to advise what i owed after i requested them to.
Any advice how i can get them to settle up the correct amount? (He is calling back on Monday after speaking to his head office. Do i have any case to argue or will i just have to pay?)
PS - He cannot turn up at my mothers house again.
PPS - When i spoke to Rossendales head office they were as much use as a chocolate fireguard, their manager was not in, they suggested i did a SAR request for £10...then said "the baliff has noted a car on the drive.." my mothers car and nothing at all to do with me!
