Hi Justanormalbod, thanks for your advice, I shall be getting in touch with the CAB and writing a letter to the bailiffs. I am so totally hacked off that after paying over £900 to Equita they can slap on another £200 to the debt seemingly for the heck of it and it's money I really can't afford to part with. Apart from one other letter last August when I made the payment arrangement I have heard nothing from Equita until now and all the bailiff did was put a letter through my door which hardly seems to warrant the amount of money he is asking for.

I have been religiously making payments to Equita since august last year after having a liability order taken out against me. I made an arrangement with Equita to pay on a weekly basis and all was fine until just before christmas when I started having problems getting through to their office to make my payments. I would get so far on their automated system only to be told there was a fault, call back later and then the line went dead. to add to this my bank put security measures in place against my debit card over christmas because they thought there was some unusual activity on my account so I couldn't use my card to pay Equita over the phone.the last time I payed was the 18 December. Today I have got home from work to find a hand delivered letter from Equita saying that I have 24 hours to pay the remaining debt. I rang the bailiffs number on the letter and he has given me time to get the money but £200 has been added to it for what he says are enforcement costs. I know this isn't right but what do I do now?
