Re: bailiffs
i think bailifs are justified in what they do expept when HBC sends bailifs to peoples houses because they cant afford the extortionate counclil tax that HBC charge and dare to buy their family food rather than pay the council tax bill
yes i know they have ths so called council tax benefit and yes if you are on income support you qualify for a massive reduction but there are many people out there who are on incapacity benefit genuinly and because they get slightly more than people on income support they are classed as considerably richer and have to pay full council tax
never mind that when on incapacity benefit you still have to pay for prescriptions , dental treatment and other things you dont get like you do on income support which eats up the little extra you get
i know 1 person who is on incapacity benefit and they have to pay full council tax and pay the mortgage out of his benefit but if he was on icome support he would get his mortgage paid or at least the interest and have a verry small counciltax bill yet HBC say he is well off and if he dosnt pay all his council tax bill it will be sent to the bailifs
so in answer to your question no i dont think bailifs are w**nkers but i do think HBC are a bunch of w**kers for sending bailifs after those who cant afford to pay their council tax and would love to be in a finantial position where they could instead of scraping and choosing between a roof over their head or the bailifs and possible imprisonment
i agree that people who sighn contracts like hire purchase should be passed on to bailifs but councils should not be allowed to use bailifs to take the poor peoples possestions because they cant afford to pay a TAX that is only as high as it is because of counilors incompitance
