We launched the campaign because council tax debt, and with it bailiff visits, have soared in recent years. A massive 4.4 million people are now facing unpayable council tax bills and the threat of a visit from the bailiffs.
Time and again we’ve been told that a visit from the bailiffs can be one of the most stressful parts of being in debt.
Jo from Manchester told us: “I didn’t even understand really what a bailiff was, but that they were going to come to my house and take my stuff. I had a three-year old child. I just thought I need to stop this.”
That’s why over the next few months, we’ll be ramping up the campaign and making sure our message can’t be ignored.
