Hi, and thanks in advance for any help you guys might wish to offer. Also I am really sorry if I should have commented else ware instead of creating a new thread.
I had a knock at the door 2 days ago from a Jacobs Enforcement officer he gave me a 24hr notice for removal of goods if I didn't pay the outstanding balance in full (£820) the debt is for council tax and was originally for £510 before they stuck there costs on top. I was shocked as I pay my council tax without fail and currently have 2 attachments of earnings coming out of my wages for last year's ct that comes out every week with out fail for the value of around £50. I rang the council and it turns out I do owe this money but the council refuse to help now as it's with Jacobs. The council told me to ask Jacobs for a payment plan but Jacobs refused as I didn't keep up with it....I never set one up. Jacobs are claiming I rang up and made a payment plan 2months ago...I DID NOT!! So they are liars he said how would we know your. Middle name if you didn't tell us?!? So basically I have to pay in full. Jacobs never turned up after the 24 hrs but they did after 48hrs I never answered the door this time. He hand posted a notice for removal through saying removal 5pm. He shouted through my letter box he was coming in my house at 5pm and instead of causing a scene to open the door. My kids are going to be home at 5pm I'm terrified he's going to break in and scare the life out of them. Yet I don't want to invite that horrible man in. I don't even want to acknowledge Jacobs. I know people say bailiffs can't break in but citizens advice told me they can and will if they have authority to do so...how do I tell if they do in my case?? Thanks guys
