Here where I am at. I recently received a letter from Phillips Bailiffs and it is clear that they deliberately send 'Distress Warrants' with scant information so that you cannot make statutory declarations. I received a distress warrant from Phillips saying that owed £418 from an initial fine of £118. the only other information was that their client was HMRC. After contacting them by letter several times asking for clarification they send the bailiffs around and posted a letter through my door. I didn't call them. YOU MUST NEVER CALL THEM! I emailed them with a complaint - This is the email. Dear Sirs, I have previously written to you to request details of a debt that you are enforcing. Your letter merely states HMCS. This is wholly insufficient and does not provide me with any means in which to make enquiries concerning this alledged debt. I wish to once again make the point very clear that to you that to the best of my knowledge I do not have an unpaid court fine. This afternoon I have contacted a Bailiff on-line site and they have advised me that if your company refuse to provide the required details that they will provide the contact details for the relevant HMCS Contract Manager with responsibility to dealing with complaint within the London Area. Given the seriousness of this matter unless I have a suitable response from your company within 2 days of this email I will be making a formal complaint to the Contracts Manager without any further reference to you. I hope that this will not be necessary. Yours sincerely As they don't want to receive a complaint against them it took them ten days to respond with more information. The original fine was in 2004, but the first I knew of it was in 2012. The only other information they gave though was that their client was NW Magistrates. I knew I had to make a stat dec, but when I looked on line there was no NW Magistrates. This thread led me to Uxbridge Magistrates and I arrived bright and early one Monday morning and the kind officials let me make a stat dec that morning. With Phillips off my back I can now buy some time to get to the bottom of the original fine. Phillips deliberately don't want you to go to court that's why they provide scant information on their letters/warrants. They want to scare you into paying up (mostly their inflated bailiff fees) and it must work with enough to keep them still in business. DON'T FALL FOR THEIR BULLY BOY TACTICS. I hope this helps someone.
