Dear Sir/Madam


Account No:

I am writing to you to complain about the actions taken by the bailiffs who are collecting of £ on your behalf.



If you fail to resolve my complaint to our satisfaction, we will have no alternative but to take our complaint to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.

I look forward to hearing from you.


Yours faithfully
