Reply from the bailiff........

These lot actually did reply to my letter, obviously signed by a computer and a standard manufactured letter.......making no reference to my reply to them....




The next day I got another letter with different stationary and a much more friendly manner.......



As you can see, no threats or any helpful information regarding my requests. Nothing. Neither is it signed by anyone, I don't think anyone wants to take responsibility for this stuff- as is to be expected from those who claim limited liability.

So I responded with this letter....

EQUITA CERTIFICATED BAILIFFS

5th floor

31st March 2009

NOTICE

Dear Bailiff Manager,

I can confirm receipt of your REMINDER NOTICE dated 23/03/2009. This should be read as NOTICE that I am discharging your REMINDER NOTICE by seeking further clarification. For ease of reference I have included the following definitions of terms used in this notice;

In this document

“your company” is defined as EQUITA CERTIFICATED BAILIFFS.

“ the council” is defined as BIRMINGHAM CITY COUNCIL.

“my letters or correspondence” is defined as either my letter to your company , dated 7th March 2009 or any future correspondence.

“party” is defined as either your company or the council.

Could you please, for further clarification of the origin and liability for this debt, define the actual meanings in your notice, of the following phrase/s;

“Unpaid Council Tax “, “our previous applications for payment” , “Our removal teams will be in you area in the coming week”, “and will be looking to seize goods”, “Further substantial costs will be added to your debt once this action has been commenced”, “avoid this course of action”.

For the record I have received no document entitled “application for payment”. Could you please provide the dates for your previous correspondences for ease of reference?

I am unable to deal in any way appropriately or properly with ANY of your requests should you continue to ignore my letters or correspondence. It is my understanding that I have no contract binding me with your company or the council and have received no information to the contrary from either party.

As this remains undisputed by either party this notice includes notice that I intend to seek all available remedy to me to resolve this issue and I understand that failure by either party to lawfully object to said understandings stated in this document within 7 days of this notice will constitute tacit agreement of these understandings and statements by these parties that may form the basis of any further action by me to have any current or future court proceedings in this matter be dismissed.

I reserve the right not to contract in any way further with your company should you continue to ignore my correspondence or refuse to refer to it in detail. I do not give you permission to contact me by telephone or to make any legal determination about me, including your use of title in addressing me as Mr. From this date onwards I will only open mail from your company addressed to Paul, of the family Ford, as I have no commercial interest or duty to your company.

This notice is signed and posted by registered mail on the 31st March 2009.

Thank you again for your time and consideration in these matters,

Kind regards,

Paul, of the family: Ford.

P.S Your letter dated 24th March 2009 does not match this company name and is not signed by a representative of EQUITA so will be ignored as correspondence. For the record, I REQUESTED THIS INFORMATION BY RETURN OF POST, AS SUCH MY CORRESPONDENCE HAS BEEN DISHONORED AS I SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED A REPLY TO MY LETTER DATED 7TH MARCH BY THE 17TH MARCH 2009. It is my understanding that your company is a third-party interloper to which I have NO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER. ANY FUTURE CORRESPONDENCE THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN DETAILS THAT I HAVE REQUESTED OR AN ACTUAL, VERIFIABLE STATEMENT OF TRUTH PERTAINING TO THE MATTER WILL BE IGNORED.

Happy reading folks........

to this day I have returned any mail that is manufactured in nature addressed to "Mr P Ford" or "MR P FORD" and none of their previous threats have manifested. Feel free to draw your own conclusions...

I will explain in detail why I have chosen to pursue this matter in this way next time, but for now......

Peace and Love people........
