If you ignore calls, texts and letters from your creditors then this can be escalated to bailiffs. If this is passed on to bailiffs, this will mean that you will no longer be dealing with your original lender. Bailiffs have more powers than your lender and can visit your home, repossess vehicles and property (if they have the relevant court order). If Kingston Council are chasing you for payment then the best action to take it to request professional advice. The longer you ignore your debts, often the less favourable the outcome is.

It is possible to slow down Kingston Council if you act quickly. If Kingston Council are trying to gain access to your property and vehicles, you should seek immediate professional advice. Without professional advice you can be left vulnerable to tactics which Kingston Council use, so it is important to know what your rights are.

Bailiffs can sometimes have the right to force entry into your property if they have a court order for criminal fines such as not paying a TV license, HMRC debts, parking fines or income tax debts for example. You should check with Kingston Council to see what the origin of the debt is, if you are not aware.
