Can they refuse a reasonable repayment plan? If I offer to pay the (extortionate) £300 charges over 2 months, would this be accepted or are they within their rights to bust the door off and plunder my dads house? (I live with my father)

Thanks for the responses. So what happens now? I've paid the court the money I owe them, yet I presume the bailiff will be coming back at some point? I don't have the additonal £300 they want just hanging around, hence my quick direct payment today.

It was for failure to deliver annual return on my company accounts.

Thats the thing, I don't have a clue what warrant has been issued. It just states on the bit letter headed (yellow border) paper that he came to arrange payment under the terms of a warrant issued. The fine was a companies house fine.

I'm not actually sure what they are acting as to be honest, the text under the red 'removal notice' states: I attended your property at xx.xx today under the terms of a warrant issued on behalf of the above client. Despite previous visits & notices (1st I've heard of it!) this matter has not been settled, which means the costs are increasing and I therefore urge you to contact me on the telephone number below immediatley. Please note that the amont now owed is £550 inclusive of charges for todays attendence. If this amount is NOT PAID IN FULL, IMMEDIATLEY, a further call will be made, WITHOUT NOTICES, to effect removal, for sale at public auction. Such action will render you liable for futher costs. To avoid such severe action, please contact me on xxxxx to arrange payment. Does this mean this is a distress warrant or one has been issued against me?

Hi there, I've just spent the last half hour looking through the forum and while I've gained valuable information, I still need some things clearing up. I received a fine in May for £250 from hmrc. For one reason or another the fine didn't get paid & I received the further action notice. I had full intention of paying it but again, it went unpaid. Today, I had a letter put through the door from Marstons (yellow one) saying that it was a removal notice and I need to pay £550 in full otherwise they'll be another visit to remove my goods for sale at public auction. Seeing this drastic increase in charge prompted me to call the HMRC payment line & pay the £250 that I owe.... Providing the payment does not get refunded, what happens with the (£300) bailiff fees? Thanks in advance.
