I have paid Bristow and Suter a total of £500 for a parking fine in Tewkesbury. They sent a bailiff to my house whilst I was not at the property and told my mother that they would not leave untill a payment of £500 was made and for every half an hour they sat in the van they would add £25 to the debt. I was working in Canada and although I spoike to them over the phone the bailiff refused to wait untill I returned. My mother had to drive 4 miles into town to get the money from the bank and they added the extra charge for time waiting. These bailiffs are rude and completely ruthless. I have also had the same company harass me over a missunderstanding over my council tax. I had set up a system where my council tax was being paid directly out of my wages and have wage slips to prove this. I had a visit from the bailiff informing me it hadn't been paid which I knew was a mistake and I showed the bailiff my wage slip. She was rude and said she needed to come in and list my items for sale at action. I had contacted the cab for advise over the parking ticket situation previously and they told me to never let a bailiff into your property or sign papaerwork. When I said this to the bailiff she asked "are the cab going to pay your debts for you???no. so you had better let me in". I had my children in the house and said i wasn't going to let her in. She said she would return with a lock smith and the charges would be added. Luckily after contacting the accountant at work he sorted it all out. I have had no apology from Bristow and Sutor and am so angry that they think they are above the law. I wonder if they realise how much stress they cause to people who are struggling to pay their bills. Is there anything I can do??????
