How Can We Help You Stop Council Tax Bailiffs
If Bailiffs Are at Your Door
- Don’t let them in unless they have a valid court warrant.
- Ask for ID and paperwork before speaking further.
- Stay calm and get professional advice before agreeing to anything.
Remember: Bailiffs cannot force entry on their first visit.
Ways to Deal With Council Tax Debt
- If you can’t pay your arrears in full, there are safe options that can stop bailiff visits:
- Make a payment plan directly with your council.
- Apply for an IVA – a government-approved debt solution.
- Other solutions – such as a Debt Relief Order (DRO) or, in serious cases, bankruptcy.
How an IVA Can Help
- An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a legal agreement that can:
- Reduce what you owe.
- Stop bailiff action immediately once approved.
- Give you a clear, affordable path out of debt.
Once an IVA is in place, councils and bailiffs must stop chasing you.
