I received a letter, which was posted through my door last Wednesday.

It was for a water bill which was 1300, but the amount I am to pay is 2300.

I have never received any communication from the Enforcement Agents,

so I am wondering how they can add £1000 fee to my original bill.

Also I have spoken to them and explained that I am a single mum with 4 children,

I have just been through a marriage break up and have had 6 months off sick, due to this.

The officer agreed that he would see me on Monday and we I could set up a repayment plan, after he had done an expenditure form.

Now I am assuming he will be expecting to enter my home,

but I have read and heard that I shouldn't allow him in,

is this the case.

I also need to add that my ex has left me with a lot of debt and I am unable to get any response from him

Are they DCA's or actual bailiffs? Also, has it been to court?

And regarding your ex leaving you a lot of debt, could you make a seperate thread with as much info as possible on each debt? We can certainly help you out with that.

The letter said High Court Enforcement a company called DWF and yes I believe it has gone to court

you sure its DWF.

whats the bailff company name.

so this is for an old water bill

have you been ignoring letters through the door

because if you've not moved then you should have had a series of letters for this

and a court claimform pack.

Which water company is it?

can you scan up the letter to PDF please

Did you receive a claim form from the County Court advising that the water company were seeking to recover this debt?

Did you respond to the summons?

If you did not receive the summons, did you receive notice from the Court that judgment had been entered. If so, how much is the judgment for?

Without knowing the exact amount of the judgment it is difficult to ascertain what fees have been added. Please let us know.

The enforcement agent would be looking to get a Controlled Goods Agreement set up but this would involve being allowed into your home. Given that you are a single mother to 4 children, and currently on sick leave, it would not be wise to allow an enforcement agent into your home and there is no right for him to force entry. If you have a car outside.....that it at serious risk of being seized.

Make sure beforehand that you have copies of your sick note from your doctor. Make sure as well that you have written down details of your income and expenditure.

Lastly, make sure that you meet the enforcement agent outside......

I forgot to mention something.

I would not suggest making a payment proposal unless, and until you have received a clear breakdown of the fees that have been added.

It might help you to go get your credit file

That will tell you the ccj number

When you have that

Go ring northants bulk and ask for a copy of the claimform and the CCJ

and?
