Re: Bailiffs Letter

As you have a nil assessment, its unlikely the courts will grant much action
against you. bailiffs may arrive but if they report that there are no goods
of value the only other option they have really is to go for committal - and
for that - they have to prove wilful refusal to pay.

i am interested in two things:
1, your comment that they refused an arrears negotiation. they cannot do
this! they have to negotiate a pay schedule that is affordable - and if
they dont, write to the Area Director - send it recorded delivery.

2. the letter - we have had a number of cases now where a private collection
agency has been contacting clients even though the proper processes are not
being carried out. i would be interested to know if your letter is from the
same company. perhaps you can email me on chairperson@xxxxxxxxxxx to confirm
the name of this company.
