sometimes its not that easy for folk to find £300 though is it??

Whilst thats youre answer, you obviousley can afford it, give them the money to pay the bill with

Other than that you can sort out a payment plan with the bailifs because it might be too late now with the council as they "sell" the debt on i believe (appologies if im wrong there)

What you do have to watch is that everytime they have to do more paperwork, the bill goes up and it aint by a couple of pounds and the bailifs just end up taking everything and sell for jack shite.

As said, sell the car to someone for a £1 with a reciept then thats safe, then try and set something up with the bailifs maybe £10-15 a week, youll be suprised what they will take if they know they are getting money back.

Be aware if you break the agreement they will bend you over.
