  1. Hi, Need some advice on a matter involving marstons bailiffs please. I received a letter around 6 weeks ago out of the blue from marstons bailiffs demanding that i owe £425.00, i had no idea what this amount was for and it states on the letter its a warrant on behalf on hmcs. I went down to my local court who looked it up for me and told me it was for an unpaid bus ticket fine from 3 years ago, i didn't have sufficient amount on my oyster card on a bendy bus and got caught by the ticket inspectors who then issued a fine. I never received this fine as i moved home but they found out my new adress and by this time it had been passed down the courts who i set up a payment plan with, i payed £20.00 on the spot that day, i then had to fill out an expenditure form which they sent me a letter back stating they'd take £5.00 per week from job seekers allowance i was on, they started taking the money so i thought it was the end of it. However 6 weeks ago i received this from marstons, according to the courts they managed to take 4 payments from my job seekers allowance but suddenly they stopped taking the re payments as i was not on benefits anymore, this is not true, i have been on benefits from since the time they was taking the repayments up until present, so i don't understand why they did not take the payments when they could of. Also, I received no letters from the courts to say the repayments have been stopped please find another way to pay etc, nothing, that's why i was very surprised to receive the letter from marstons and hear this from the court. The court advised me to contact the London compliance and collection center and complain that it is not my fault and could they take it back to court so i could start the repayments up again, i rang them they said to send in a letter so they have it in writing, i sent a letter recorded delivery and also one to marstons to explain the situation, i never heard anything back so 2 weeks ago i sent another later just re stating the facts and asking what their response is. Still have not heard anything back and a few days ago a marston baillif turned up at my door, put a removal notice through the letter box and thats that. I haven't been listened to by anybody, i rang marstons who wont accept a payment plan they want the total amount of now £565.00 (they added on more because they made a home visit). I speak to the London compliance and collection center who keep telling me to send letters, which i have, i do not have £565.00 to pay marstons and the court keeps referring me to the London compliance and collection center, i feel like im going round in circles. I want this matter solved, but im not happy that it has been referred to marstons after i didnt even know they had stopped taking re payments from myself, i havent heard nothing for 3 years, and im not happy about all these charges they keep adding on to which was origionally a £150.00 fine. Any advise what my next steps should be? I want to get these charges off by marstons and just pay back the original amount weekly how i was doing so before, but i don't know how to do this. I was speaking to someone who has been through similar but for different reasons, and they did an n245 form to suspend the bailiffs warrant but don't know if i can do this in my case? Any help greatly appreciated
