    Senior officer dealing with collection of Council tax and business rate arrears. * My main dealings involve prosecutions at Bristol Magistrates Court at liability and committal stages. However it is/was always treated as the last option. I always tried to resolve any issue by obtaining payments rather than Court action.* I would state that I have extensive knowledge in insolvency and related matters. * I have also been involved in dealing with bankruptcy and charging order action against defaulters. * I have also undertaken Court actions at County Court.* I have dealt with many debt agencies in my daily involvement with defaulters.* I have also had a lot of involvement with external bailiff companies.
