Tracey, although you are not heavily pregnant, any bailiff who understands and appreciates the worth of their bailiffs certificate should aknowledge that you are pregnant and be reasonable. Di the bailiff Know you are pregnant, perhaps not as you are ten weeks. What authority does the bailiff have to come to your house, is it a liability order?

Sounds like he was inexperienced.

have you moved since the offence, do you have problems with your mail? you could go and make a statutory declaration at your local magistrates and hopefully, providing there is resonable exscuses for not recieving the original letters, your fine will be recalled back to the magistrates

Most companies use trackers incoporated in the agents phone, such as blackberry's ect, as companies hire vehicles and is easier to manage

I dont think so as i have been home most of the week:)

The only issue wich is suspect is the previous visits.

Exactly my point about "CERTIFICATED BAILIFF" Whats wrong with peole in the enforcement indusrty looking to forums such as this, to improve their Knowledge. I have learnt many things from this forum, from the likes of HCE, TOMTUBBY, Nintendo and many others.

FEDUP, have they got your details through the DVLA?

Why would you not want a correct answer to a question, thats what this forum is about, amongst other things. Me personally am trying to implement a forum for bailiffs ect, which would be more than accomadating for debtor/customers to post on .

No not really , a self employed driving instructor whos car is modified to accomadate a learner driver would be exempt, an ice cream van, recovery truck, gas engineers modified van, a bailiffs modified arrest van ect all would be exempt in my opinion. If a courier used his van solely for the purpose of deliverying parcels this would be exempt, whoever if he used it for personal use as well the it would not be exempt, it even states this in the magistrates act. Is that car essential to your companies trading, can you trade withou it?

Myself personaly have been a member of CAG since 2007, I use the forum to aquire Knowledge, test my knowledge and , sometimes if i can help others without being to biased. You do have other posters on here who thrive off bailiffs/ HCEO's posts, regardless if they are informative or not, all they want to do is engage in a slagging match. Some members of CAG, are not willing to listen to different points of view or even listen to responses to questions to which are correct, I.E. the arrest by private bailiffs thread.

Mr Worried, you may not even get a notice to owner or reminder notice , please keep us informed, I know about the company and believe they do not even contact the DVLA for registerd keepers details, if you do recieve a reminder notice, have a look to see who has actually sent it. If it is a third party someone representing a1/covert then see who initialy applied for youir details, if not covert company then they are in breach of the data protection act, you can request this info from the DVLA

Inspace, do not give them his car, as this probably may not cover the fine after all the costs are added, Try and make an arrangement to pay, if you can pay in full then speak to the bailiff or someone in the office and advise them as to what date you can pay in full, i will be suprised if they do not agree to your terms.

Sidewinder, had you recieved any letters from the magistrates court in relation to the fine?

can you elaborate on that post MARTIN, I for one found CERTIFICATED BAILIFFS posts, odd, I appreciate he/she may have been trying to help but advising people to contact the CAB for fee structure IMO, is stating you have knowledge of your own, considering you are supposed to be Certificated, HCE IMO nearly always gives correct information, and speaking for myself I try to give accurate information based on experience

bailiff companies have different fee structures with different clients not including the statutory fees.

the car is shared, so is not exempt, the car is not modified i.e an ice cream van, recovery vehicle ect , so is not essential OP company could hire a car, public transport

well put, what would stop the company hiring a car to continue working?

the company is the debtor

My interpretation is that a vehicle has to be essential i.e. a driving instructors/ ice cream vanpick up truck all of which are specificly modified, or if someone lives in a rural area and they have no means to public transport. Also HCE is correct in saying the car has to be solely for the use of the debtor. The fees in this case do look about right, in comparrison to what most companies charge.

They work in partnership with a hceo company out of Newcastle

I would have to agree with hce on this one, also National Enforcement Services, have nationwide enforcement for High cout work. You could download the stat demand paperwork and serve yourself, but stat demands should be used as a last resort, Technically they shouldnt be used as a threat.

CD it seems strange they claimed to be there to arrest you and then gave you walking possession, this seems od, they should have either been there to execute an arrest warrant or levy distress not both. You need to find out from the council what authority they had to be there. If they where there with an arrest warrant only, then the walking possession is not valid.

Thanks Rae:)

He should do as he is a good person with good business sense
