So I have a small £200 debt outstanding from an old CT bill (plus charges) at about three addresses ago that I incurred a while back and 'overlooked' *ahem* to pay
Anway I now live away from my parental home but all my correspondence are assigned and registered here and it's where I am this week.
So I called the bailiff to arrange payment and he said he couldn't take payments over the phone, he had to come and see me. Fine. So he turned up and I wanted to have a chat in the porch. He said he needed to come in to complete an 'inventory' something not mentioned on the letter nor on the telephone call.
I said I wasn't prepared to let hikm in the house as I considered it unnecessary. He warned me unless I did my charges would double. I asked him to leave.
So there I was willing to pay £100 to him today, but because he didn't gain access to the property (which isn't even mine and even if it was this pre-condition was not mentioned on either the letter nor on the phone call) he instead left without taking payment and threatening me with increased charges.
Suffice to say I'm not terribly impressed and wish to take this up further with the company who are Jacobs Bailiffs. I'm in no way going to allow them to 'double' by liability as a result of this. Their offices have closed for this evening but I fully intend to call them tomorrow and kick up a fuss and demand to make an automated payment, which is available for some of their customers I see.
Any help/tips/advice?
