hi,
Im writing in the hope someone can help.
My mother had a WPO on her previous address for a council tax debt - Bailiff was Ross & Roberts.
dont ask me why she let them in, but she did.
she started to pay the agreed monthly amount, however after a period of some months a bank holiday occurred and her salary payment was delayed. When she tried to make the next payment they said she had defaulted and refused to take the payment.
Months passed and she heard nothing.
She then moved property after her tenancy agreement was up and the landlord wanted to up the rent too much.
most of the stuff on the WPO is no longer in her possession - the tv screen and dining table both got broken during the move (she does still have the tv in a cupboard) and the furniture was in a poor condition and I replaced it myself with stuff a friend was selling.
Its now been a year since she moved.
I moved back home this month, as im a mature student and this is a way of me not forking out silly money for rent.
About 2 months ago she received a visit from Ross & Roberts but she was out - and they left a note (twice)
Yesterday however the awful woman from Ross & Roberts came and I spoke to her - without letting her in. They left a message for my mother threatening to come back and remove goods
Where does she stand legally ?
Does she have to let them in ?
If they do get in, what could they take ?
If they do try to take goods, do they have to give a period of notice for this ?
thanks for looking at this guys, and I hope someone can help.
