Councils: Ban the bailiffs

If you are facing bills for council tax, you are not alone. Across the UK £4.4 billion is now owed in council tax back-payments. The cost of living crisis and the pandemic are pushing millions of us into debt.

Despite this growing crisis, many councils still use bailiffs to collect council tax. A visit from a bailiff is one of the most stressful parts of dealing with debt. It’s outdated, wrong and just doesn’t work. 

Some councils have stopped using bailiffs altogether. Right now, we’ve got a chance to make sure the rest of them do too. 

Tell your council to ban bailiffs for good.
