“If you've received a similar document to this, it's highly likely your council's bailiff contractor is about to become considerably more richer than yow.

You can avoid this by...........
1) Ignoring the bailiffs completely, do not be tricked into opening the door to them. There is no law which says you must deal with bailiffs.
2) If you've outstanding Council Tax owing, pay it directly to the council.
3) If the council refuses payment because it's with the bailiffs, ask them to put it in writing that they're refusing payment. In any event you can pay them on-line, through their website, or by internet banking etc.
4) Bailiffs must leave details of fees and charges you incur for each visit etc. There must be evidence they attended in person. Hand delivered (not posted) documentation. Charging without attending is a "Phantom visit" and an attempt to defraud you. In the event payment is taken by the bailiff for such an offence, this will be fraud.
5) They may bill you around £130 for what's called an "attendance fee" or similar. This would almost certainly be spurious.
6) They may bill you £24.50 for what they term a "redemption fee" or "Head H fee". This would almost certainly be spurious.”
“Private bailiff firms contracted to councils, are defrauding members of the public with no opposition from the Government, Local Authorities or the Police.
Local news papers will not, for whatever reason, report on this serious issue. They are failing in their duty to raise awareness for the many thousands of victims involved.
It seems these crimes will remain covered-up if left to the local press. It therefore must be tackled by members of the public who are prepared to expose our corrupt councils.
It has been publicised in the national press and on TV, that R' oss.en,dale.s Ltd, who Nottingham City Council contract its bailiff services to, is a criminal outfit.
Have you been charged Unfair and Hiked-up Enforcement fees by Nottingham City Council's bailiff contractor R' OSS.E'N,DALE.S Ltd?
This would be in connection with either alleged or actual council tax arrears.
Does the council state that they are lawful?
Does the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) also state they are lawful?

The following link features the equally crooked private bailiff firm,"Equ .i,ta", detailing a complainant's successful re-claim of nearly £400 of unlawful bailiff fees.
Post #45 of this link. The council also offered money for the complainant not to pursue the complaint further.
