hi,i have just has a debt collecter from marston holiding knock on my door for a debt my daughter had.....he was dressed as a police officer look a like..he ,had a stab proof vest on with arrest officer written across the front and on his sleeves.....I have cctv and caught him on camera.

 

he said he was here to arrest my daughter for a £57.00 debt issued via the courts.....

 

he gave me a form with arrest notice on it saying if not paid he would arrest her..me being quite old panicked and said I would pay this....thinking he was a police officer...

 

it says on the form failure to resolve this she would be liable to arrest either by a marston arrest officer or a police officer..

 

my question is was this legal and can a debt collector have the power of arrest...

 

really confused on this

 

thanks paul

Get in touch with your daughter to sort this. You may have paid it, but you NEED to talk to her about it. It could have been MUCH worse. Especially as its a court fine

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

The officer would not have taken your daughter to court.

He would have bailed her to appear in court on a set date.

Many parents in the same position would have done the same as you

(by paying the debt on your daughters' behalf).

 

To get to this stage, your daughter should have received previous correspondence from Marston and the court.
