Hi
In December 2012 a valuation officer turned up out of the blue to re assess my business rates? In January 2013 my business rates were reassessed and shot up 300%. I have been appealing this since and have a company fighting this on my behalf. I have also suffered a 60% loss in footfall. I told my local council this but was told I still had to pay the business rates until the appeal is resolved. Impossible. Also unbeknown to be my business rates were infact in my personal name, not my companies name which is Ltd. I have just had a visit at my shop by an enforcement officer, claiming that a court order from June (which I knew nothing about) is now payable, if I dont pay this he can go to my home and remove belongs to the value. £20,000.00. What is the law on this.
