A bailiff put this through the door earlier today. After ignoring a few letters and returning a few other letters. It seems that we will have an issue with the council tax debt accumulated by some guy completely unknown to us in a council in the other corner of London.
We can prove we have lived and owned the property for two years, the previous owner was an elderly lady who went to a care home. So it is either a scam, an error in the address or someone took advantage of the period the property was empty to register the debt to this address.
Can we get rid of these people without a spending £££ on a lawyer? In all honesty I am quite sceptical about writing to them with any our personal details in case they do something dodgy like transferring the debt to us.
Has someone had a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
