Hi,

I need help urgently with Martsons I have unwillingly paid a fine owed by a relative who used to live at the house....

On Thursday 22nd Jan I received a hand delivered final notice letter

stating that the bailiff would be calling back to remove goods from my house or collect money ect..

. It was in the name of my son who has not been at our house for about 2 years (won't go into it).

I immediately called the bailiff (Mr Hickey) to inform him that the person he was chasing doesn't live with us anymore

and he began stating that it was against the address and he was coming in if we didn't give him money

and he was coming back the next day with a removal team...

We tried calling the police who put us on to the court who issued the warrant who said they was putting a hold on it,

I got an email the next day off the court advising they had told Martson to do further checks into his whereabouts,

but the bailiff still turned up with a small white van and

despite us explaining to him the courts had contacted his offices

he refused to listen and got irate and began phoning his colleagues to bring a bigger van..

I didn't know what to do and offered him the lowest amount he'd take to just go away (£445).

I've already contact Marston via email and forwarded them the message off the courts

and explained I was coerced into parting with cash for fear of loosing my property and have asked for my money back.

My husband owns our house and we even offered him ID and proof of ownership which was turned down

and the police where no help (probably as it was them that issued the order)

Do I stand any chance of getting my money back?

Thanks for any help you can offer...

Jackie

You got bluffed by a rogue bailiff and fell for it.

Please would you send any details - reference number form any documents, name of your son, address and your phone number to us at our admin email address please. Put "Marston" in the subj line.

I may be able to get someone to look at this for you.

Thanks

Is there nothing I can do? All the papers he showed us were real and the courts wouldn't have corresponded back if it wasn't real would they?

Thank you I can provide you with copy email addresses including what I sent to Martson's and the courts and reference number... I'll photocopy the Final Notice and receipt of payment from work tomorrow, I'm new to this site could you give me the email please?

Thanks

How did you pay the money? Cash? Card?

If you paid by card, do a chargeback

If it is as the Op has stated then this is truly disappointing and a matter that Marston will jump on straight away.

At this stage I would not recommend doing a chargeback as the BHF member above states.

Indeed, wait until bankfodder has had a look at what the op has emailed.

I've sent you another email about this today.

Hi,

Can you please update to the the outcome - progress - this is outrageous behavior .

Acting on a warrant (supposedly under question by the court)

Attempting to take goods belonging to someone else.

Its a case of blackmail and intimidation and I hope with the support of the site team (and others) you will achieve justice and your money back.

All the best

Hi Bankfodder, I've just got in from work and send some more documents to you

Thanks

Jackie
