This has now been sorted The bailiffs office called me and set up a payment arrangement which comes off my card automatically monthly.

My application for a stay has been seen by the judge but he wants to set a hearing. Is this normal?

The bailiff came out but didn’t hang about and I didn’t acknowledge his presence. He put some paperwork through the door telling me what extra fees he has added and the usual. I was expecting him to try doors, windows and go through my back garden but he didn’t. There was also only one. I assume it must be a busy day at the office.

How do I check when the DRO was? Will it be on my credit file?

I don’t really want to put myself in the situation that I have seen on TV where they bully people and cause a lot of upset. Quite frankly I couldn’t cope with it. The stay was only applied for this week. No it’s not a shared address, it’s a flat and my neighbour has a different flat number. One flat is ground and the other 1st floor. All the property’s look like houses but are flats with their own front doors which is quite obvious. If they want to waste their time sitting outside my front door or looking in my back garden they are welcome. As I intend to go bankrupt, their additional fees don’t worry me greatly. What I was wondering is if they send further correspondence to advise what day they are coming or if they just turn up? I had a DRO some years ago so don’t think I can have another just yet. My TV is old and my PC is really old so they will have no luck there. I don’t have any fancy gadgets. I haven’t got any family with money either. I have informed them via email that a stay has been applied for and that I am applying for bankruptcy, this of course will not prevent their visit as I’m sure they are keen to try and earn their cut regardless.

To cut a long story short I have received a notice of enforcement from Marstons. It is a high court writ for a vet bill I couldn’t pay in full. My circumstances changed and we ended up here. It is for 2k. I don’t have this money and couldn’t afford the original repayments set up before it went to the high court. I cannot pay it and have zero assets and live in a council place. My Mother died two months ago so everything was up in the air and I didn’t want to deal with anything. My plan was to file for bankruptcy, I have started an application. I tried to arrange a repayment via the bailiffs office but the woman on the phone said they have to come out to check I really don’t have anything of value. I don’t work due to illness currently so have only benefits money which is very little. I don’t drive so have no car but I am worried they might try and take a neighbours, which would be bad as my upstairs neighbour hates me any way. I live on a street with no actual parking so the cars all just park on the road outside. I had until today to pay. My question is what happens next? I won’t be allowing entry as I know if I make a repayment arrangement and I can’t keep to it, letting them in means they can break in at a later date. I really have nothing of value but I don’t want them letting my cats out. I keep doors locked anyway and the windows have latches. I have applied for a stay of Execution which I know takes time and I will be filing for bankruptcy but I can’t afford it right now. Just need a bit of support from those in the know.
