Default Council Tax/CCS Enforcement

Debt 1 - £705.00
Debt 2 - £950.00

Hi there...hope anyone can help...its a bit of a strange situation

I currently have an issue with CCS Enforcement bailiffs & not sure if they can do what they claim...heres the story (hopefully it will make sense, im not to good at writing things)....

I have 2 different outstanding Council tax years to pay, of which, both have gone to CCS for collection. Unfortunately when they visited they were allowed into the premises by someone that was staying with me at the time, so they now have a walking possesion order for the first council tax bill. they've refused all offers of payments that i can afford, instead telling me that i MUST pay what order me to (currently £200+ per month). i offered £100pm and they refused it stating that the council has instructed them to get the debt paid within 4 months....so i basically havent paid them a penny apart from £400 over the last 6 months. i have a 6month old daughter so money goes for her care if i have it.

Now they are due in the next couple of days to remove goods (and slap on another £500+ in charges), which ok, im resigned to the fact
that they will & let them get on with it.....

However..... they are stating that because theres a second outstanding bill (different reference number), they can use the WPO/liability order for the first one as well. I was under the impression that because it IS a different bill (albeit for the same thing, just different year) they have to follow the whole "send letters, knock on door, dont get let in etc etc." procedure as if it was a seperate case, but they are claiming thats not true....theyve only been granted the WPO for the first account, not the second

as to the WPO itself... when they visited, they took inventory of the main things, Tv, dvd player etc....but didnt add on the computer, instead just put the standard "and any other goods other than excempt items" line at the bottom. the inventory consisted of just items in the living room, they didnt view the other rooms yet......so does that mean that a) i can remove the PC as it wasnt listed specifically (granted they saw it, but if its not listed????) and b) can i still move stuff out from the other rooms??

Also (sorry) what can they take/not take. as i cant find a list on their website nor the counciils for what they can do. eg...can they take my kettle, microwave (used for when my gas runs out) mobile phone (needed for work as im on call 24/7 but bailiffs claim they can take it anyway) home phone etc etc...a complete list of what can be taken would be a great help

Another thing with the PC....I informed them that i need it for my website moderation training, and even showed them the email/private message from the Admins of the site telling me i was undergoing training....The bailiffs said that because its not in writing to my home address (im in UK, websites based in USA) that it doesnt excempt it from being taken, is this right as i was under the impression that they can't remove anything required for training/job

I hope that all makes sense, Im not the best at writing things out & my train of though goes wonky at times

any advice/help would be appreciated
