Ok so here goes, any help would be appreciated. I got pulled over by the police at the tail end of 2006 for driving without tax (3 days overdue), I subsequently got fined by the courts around £300, which I did/have not paid. Last week I get a bloke from the bailiff knocking on my door demanding £575 inclusive of his charges, to be honest I am not disputing the charges at all I just want to get my debts paid and start building for the future as I just got married 3 months ago. For the last 6 years or so I have not been traceable so the day I got married I assume my name flashed up on a few systems which is how the bailiff ended up knocking on my door. Anyway, I called the guy back last week and offered £100 per month, he said he would talk to the courts and ask them if this was acceptable, I again called him yesterday and he is now demanding full payment, asking me to get a family member or friend to pay by credit card and for me to pay them back monthly. I do not know of anyone who could do this for me, he then threatened to come round and enter my property (I have nothing of value) or he would go back to the court with the warrant and then get the police round to either my work or home, arrest me and take me to court that day. First of all i know I should have paid this when I got it but now I have settled down and want to get my name back in the black and pay of all my debts. I am really after some advise if this is a normal procedure and info on paying him, can he accept the amount I am offering? Surely if I am asking for a payment plan they have to accept?? Thanks.

can anyone advise me on this. I owe £575 including bailiff charges, i have offered to pay him £100 a month (which is all i can afford) but he will not accept this, and says he wants the total amount otherwise they can send the police to my work and arrest me to to go to court that day - can they do this?

Hi, I had a bailiff turn up on my door this morning, he made me aware that if I refused entry he would call the police in to assist him gain entry to my property, I am aware that the police are only there in case of a breach of peace and not to assist the bailiff. Anyway, he briefly flashed a warrant in front of me stating he was working on behalf of HMCS Surrey regarding an RT offence, I am aware of the debt and stupidly thought it would go away. i called the bailiff back this afternoon and asked if there was a way we could sort this out so that I could make monthly payments, he says he would have to contact the court and let me know, this sounds a bit dubious as I thought they would want to accept some kind of payment instead of me turning round saying I do not have the full amount, he asked if I could borrow it from someone (at this time of year). I want to get myself out of the debt I have stupidly got myself into and willing to make payments to whoever. On another note I read somewhere that the warrant he flashed can only be valid for 1 year 7 days, anyone know if this is correct. Any help that is offered will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
