Oldbill, here's something you might want to look at through your magnifying glass.The Viper ms eliabeth lawrence working for phoenix collection services, the pain in my life, had her bailiff licence granted to her to run from 11th Jan 2011 to 10th Jan 2013 which is the normal 2-year window while working for Recovery and Enforcement Servies (RES) South West. on the 10th Nov 2009 she issued a NOTICE OF BAILIFF HAVING VISTED, to another victom cagger mkb, through Phoenix. Issuing warrants and threats through Phoenix 2009/2012, yet registered with RES? Any thoughts on the matter?

To all of you who have taken up the matter of 3 fines my son incurred. Thank you very much. However, we're getting off the main crux of things. I'm not defending my son, or the set fee of northampton borough council (nbcc) who have made 5.5 million pounds since 2007 on motoring fines What course of action can I take on these points:- Threats from Phoenix Commercial Collections (bailiffs)against my goods and property. The bullying from their doorstep rep. (Two visits without warning) The amount of money these bailiffs pile on £391 for 17 day window since receiving instructions from NBCC. The blind defence of these thugs by NBCC, which raises ones eyebrows .An MP is now taken up my case. With the amount of liberties bailiffs take (above the law), and in particular the said company, surely we could muster enough support from the people to get their powers limited, and closely monitored by a government office. David (No 10) wants an open and fair society.! Thanks everyone

Old Bill, thanks again for your help, I will inform you if I have any success.

Brigadier Ref: In court action? NO

Jamberson How much was paid to the bailiff? £667.37 And thanks for nothing. Are you a bailiff?

Old Bill, Thanks for your advice, and further help offered. I need all the help I can get to deal with these Phoenix thugs. They really do feel they do not answer to anyone. Thanks again.

Phoenix Commercial Collections, are so well established with councils it beggers belief. Regardless of the mountains of complaints (I'm one of them) their marriage remains firm. This can not help but raise suspicions. Northampton Borough county council (NBCC) sent me a reply which appeared like a basic reply, meaning hard luck. In the beginning. My son had failed to pay 3 parking tickets NBCC issued, total amount £170, for this sin they asked for £255, now having added 50% penalty. Still the plank never paid it. 24th May 2012 last day to settle debt at this figure. 15th June 2012 NBCC hand the debt over to their favourite bailiff, Phoenix 18th June 2012 Phoenix demand £316.32 4th July 2012 a baillif..........calls at my home and speaks to another one of my sons, who told her truthly that his brother was not in. 9th July 2012 this women again calls and got the same reply as before. On this occasion she threatened to keep returning at different times and days until the debt is paid , and in a aggressive tone, the door was shut in her face. 10 minutes later she put a notice through the front door stating she would be back on the 14th at 6am with a van to remove chattles and goods from my house to the value now of £667.37 Unfortunately, my wife who suffers from bad nerves paid the debt over the phone the next day. For my part I was shaping up for the confrontation. I'm not defending my son. What I am mad about is the GBH approach from Phoenix, and the blind eye NBCC are turning in the matter. With this amount of money going to the bailiff, 2 visits and threats £391.37. There must be an attempt by those of us who have been severley damaged in the pocket by council and bailiff bandits, to form an organisation to fight back.
