The trouble is, Carl, I can't answer for the way a Council works. In my case, if we didn't get a reply to letters we would have telephoned, distraint is a last resort, but I can only speak for my particular Government department
It sounds like your Council was using a firm of private bailiffs. As far as I know, once they have passed the debt on to that kind of firm they can't stop the visit and it sounds as though they are quite inflexible in any case. As I said, I don't know how they work or what their legal obligations are.
