Hi
I'm a regular on here but had to go anon as I've a few friends on here.
We've got an account with Equita for unpaid council tax. We pay £35 a month. I totally forgot to pay last months payment & we received a removal notice hand delivered through the door today. It says if we don't pay the full balance within 24 hours they'll remove our goods whether we're here or not.
It says to call the balliff manager or failure to do so means refusal to pay. Well i phoned him & he said oh I'll ring you back. I've had no call back.
I just totally forgot the payment last month as I've 3 small children & have other things to pay so just slipped my mind. The last 2 months before I've phoned up to pay I've asked to set up a direct debit as I can't always remember and they said they haven't got that facility. Surely if they can take card payments they should be able to? This makes me think it's something dodgy.
I'm not working & its just H wage coming in so we're juggling things so there is no way i can make full payment.
Advice please what shall i do? Are Equita legit? Why can't they set up a direct debit?
It really stresses me out as I've post natal depression & don't need added pressures.
Thanks
