With the exception of rainbow tears, still not one word of congratulations, rather a continued stream of abuse and sour grapes. From her own mouth, Kari has stated she had no help from this forum and there appears to be some quite worrying evidence of collusion between this site and Marstons - again. Of course. one particular member, as usual, thinks it's all about them and is preoccupied with building a defence rather than, for once, sucking it up, offering a hand and conceding a point. No wonder this site is building up a 'certain' reputation.

Not a single word of congratulations from any of you - not one. Only pursed remarks of 'wait and see' 'the truth will out' 'discrepancies' or playground taunts regarding whether she was banned or not. Shame. Congrats from me, kari.

Reply from Kari on BHF: To Wonkey Donkey c/o CAG. I read your further comments on myself with some concern as it appears that you question by ability to post on CAG. As is evidenced below by what I have copied and pasted, clearly I can view posts/comments on CAG but I am blocked/banner/barred/prevented (whatever terminology you wish you label it) from replying to anything on there. To prove the aforesaid, I have madam taken the liberty of copying and pasting what appears on CAG when I attempt to reply to your diatribe. Clearly, if I could reply to your aforesaid diatribe, I would do so instead of replying to your mockery via a reputable forum. I rest my case so please refrain from perpetuating your untruths as this is now somewhat tiresome asyou are proving to be something of an ass...and a wonky one at that.

From BHF.... I am the Claimant in the above case. Since the aforesaid Hearing much has been reported about the entirety of my matter with the Marston Group and this said Hearing. The media via Panorama, Watchdog, The Mail and the Sunday Mirror amongst others have enquired about my story. For the most part, I have stayed silent and have read with interest a plethora of forums alleging to be 'in the know' about both my Form 4 Complaint dubbed 'Manchestergate' and my recent Blackpool Court Hearing. I am choosing to write on this forum because the Administrators of sites such as CAG took it upon themselves to report all my issues with the Marston Group on their forums, then blocked me to ensure I had no voice of reply. Then in order to trawl for further information on my matter, on the 19th of August 2014 I received a somewhat lengthy email from a TT, whom I understand, is the Admin of CAG in addition to operating under numerous usernames/alias's on other Bailiff Help/advice forums. I have not replied to TT's email as correspondence with this woman serves no useful purpose. Because I have ignored TT said email, I have now received an email from Ron Clarke of fair-parking.co.uk who is, essentially, reiterating the email of TT. Clearly the two are in cahoots and somewhat eager to ascertain updates on my matters. [For clarity both TT and Ron Clarke can obtain my reply to the many questions to me via this website because aside from writing on my own Facebook page I have no intentions of replying on any other bailiff forum. In the first instance I would like it known that when Jason reported on my matter publishing my full name, he did so with my full permission. TT et al has criticised this openness. I opted to let my full name be known for authenticity purposes should any other victims of Marston Group choose to follow my lead and need details of my case. For those of you interested in my much reported Form 4 Complaint against a Martson bailiff (aka 'Manchestergate') and my Court victory against this company, here is the truth. I hide behind no username and I report the facts as they are. On the 6th of December 2012 a female bailiff arrived at one of my rental properties to seize a work vehicle. The vehicle in question was a 3yr old Vauxhall Corsa SXi with 12k milage and one lady owner, me. The car had been purchased new for my business and was sign written with the Company logo. Due to a disability, I was unable to drive the vehicle, in fact at this juncture, I had no licence due to the disability and was reliant on another driving me in the car. The said car was often parked overnight at this property because it is secure due to the geography of it, it also has a large garage; the garage is used to store business equipment. On the day the bailiff arrived, the car was parked outside the garage. The garage is clearly marked as being owned by myself. Due to the fact one of my employee's had pulled the garage door off its runner, most of the items inside the garage were visible...ie commercial fridges/freezers/ovens/microwave/furniture. Notwithstanding the aforesaid chattels, the Marston bailiff wanted the car and so seized this by clamping it. She then contacted me on my work mobile which was on the car's logo. It transpired that the reason for this bailiff visit was an unpaid speeding fine. Apparently the work car had been clocked by a traffic cop hiding in an unmarked van. ..the car had been going 5 miles or so over the speed limit. Being the registered keeper, I finally received the fine of £60. I duly informed DVLA I was not the driver & as such sent an alternate name. DVLA informed the above information came too late and the matter had been passed to the Magistrates Court. I attended the Magistrates Court and in essence as I was the registered keeper the fine was mine. ..plus an extra 65 quid in Court fees etc now making the fine £60 fine + £65 costs Total payable = £125.00. This was the summer of 2012. Annoyed at the above decision I made an Appeal. My Appeal was listed to be heard at Preston Court. However, due to bereavement, my work schedule and other matters, I decided to cancel the Appeal and just pay the £125.00 fine and be done with it. My working life means I am in Preston Court on a regular basis, so, whilst at the Court I went into the public office and handed over a company cheque for £125.00, got on with life and thought no more of this matter. Fast forward six months or so to December and outside one of my rental properties stands a Marston Bailiff clamping my work vehicle and now demanding in excess of £600 or 'the car goes'. The Bailiff alleged many visits had been made by her to the rental property...each visit adding to the debt. The fact she had been attending the wrong property as could be proven, was irrelevant. Ditto all Court correspondence on the matter. At this juncture I was not in the North West of England but on business in the South. The Marston Bailiff was told that the fine had been paid but, she said it hadn't so I checked with the Preston and Blackpool Courts, in addition to our book-keeper. The cheque had not been cashed. Despite the fact of there being sufficient items in the garage to satisfy the Warrant, this bailiff seized the work vehicle. Long story short, she clamped it and left the premises vowing to return the following day with a tow truck. As the clamped car could not be moved the garage was blocked preventing use of it. Upon inspection, the female bailiff had not fitted the boot on the car properly thus allowing the car to be moved some 200 yards so my employees could place further items in and out of the garage as we do on a regular basis. The Marston bailiff returned the following day with a tow truck. The tow truck reversed 300 yards or so down the large drive with all it's sirens beeping. ..only to discover the clamped car was not there. World War 3 ensued. In her fury, the bailiff constantly rang my mobile leaving one abusive message after another. I was then sent a plethora of texts informing me how I had 'stolen' my own car and that the police were now on their way. I was informed a locksmith had also been deployed and would now force entry into my tenants home to remove her goods. The bailiff was told that the tenant in situ at this address had nothing to do with this matter. The tenant was now in a panic that all her worldly goods were to be removed and so rang the bailiff to explain the situation. The Bailiff called my tenant a 'lying ' and told her she wasn't the tenant at this address and a locksmith would be breaking entry within the hour. My tenant then rang Marston Group and spoke with the bailiff's manager. The lie that a 'locksmith was on route to break into the property' was reiterated by the bailiff's manager. Thankfully, the bailiff and her entourage finally spotted the vehicle parked happily across the road and so removed it with the waiting tow truck. However, clearly still miffed she then took it upon herself to place a large red and white Marston sticker on the front door on the tenants home informing bailiff's had called and the vehicle had been seized and removed. The bailiff signed her name on the sticker and drew a smiling face next to it such as this This was glued to the front door for all the neighbours to see. The car was removed on the 6th of December 2012. On the 7th of December 2012 Marston Group wrote to me informing that unless they were in funds the car would be sold at auction in 7 days. Marston Group then held onto the letter until after the 14th of December 2012. The said letter was received just before Xmas....after the '7 day' period had lapsed. On receipt of this letter, I contacted Marston Group to ask if my car had been sold. I was told 'dunno...maybe'. I asked to speak to someone of authority but was told most were at their office Xmas party. Xmas 2012 and New Year came and went. In 2013 I anticipated receiving a substantial cheque from Marston Group for the balance of my car after their deductions. This did not happen. Again I contacted Marston. Again I was stonewalled. in mid March 2013, I received a letter from the DVLA saying someone was trying to register my car as the keeper. Clearly, my car had been sold. In April 2013 I finally received a letter from Marston Group. This long awaited correspondence informed how my 10k car had now been sold for an alleged £3,100 and that I now owed Marston Group in excess of another thousand pounds in storage fees. This was in addition to the several thousands they were already charging me for alleged 'storage fees'. Clearly Marston Group were doing this in order to keep for themselves every penny from the sale of my work vehicle. After due consideration I instigated a Form 4 Complaint primarily against the unprofessional behaviour of the bailiff in question. This was made to Altrincham Court where she obtained her licence. The Court considered the Complaint serious enough to warrant a Hearing and as such a Hearing was listed at the Manchester Court. However, in the meanwhile, my health took a downturn and I was admitted to The Christy Hospital in Manchester. Despite not being well, the date of the Hearing approached and I wanted to attend this Hearing rather than have it dismissed or adjourned. Marston Group sent to the Hearing their top barrister so at to defend them. The Hearing continued all day until the Court time was exhausted. Marston's barrister placed me under oath in the Witness box all day so as to interrogate me. By 5pm or so I too was exhausted. The Judge asked all parties to return to the Court the following day. However, the following day I was too unwell to attend and sought an adjournment. As the case was part-heard, an adjournment was not possible and the only option available to the Judge was to dismiss the matter. It has been reported on numerous other websites that Marston Group 'won Manchestergate'... ..it has been reported that I received a bill of costs. ...it has also been reported that Jason acted as a Mckennzie friend after being 'rumbled' by the Judge. All of the aforesaid are untrue. The latter was reported by TT, who, it is noteworthy to state, even knew what both myself and Jason wore to the Hearing, something only those connected to myself or Marston's would have known.. .and neither I nor Jason informed of this. Jason did attend the Manchester Form 4 Complaint Hearing with me, but this was solely to offer moral support as I was alone and he was aware of my ill health. No other website offered anything, least of all worthwhile advice. It is fair to say that no other website offered any help whatsoever, in fact it is true that aside from this site and jason's, all other sites merely frustrated matters and showed themselves to be in league on some level with the Marston Group, albeit incognito so as to get debtors to enter into payment arrangements inter alia. The Form 4 Complaint against Marston Group was dismissed for the reasons said. I was not able to re-vent this complaint in sufficient time due to my ill health and work commitments. However, entirely because of the Form 4 Complaint, Marston Group were obliged to give me sight of the evidence on which they intended to rely. This should be exchanged 14 days before the Hearing, but, Marston Group handed me their 100 + pages of evidence as we entered the Court... ...and what did I find on Page 52 of Marston Group's own evidence? A signed document from the auctioneer verifying that my car was actually taken directly to the auctioneer on the 6th of December 2012. ..the day it was seized. Clearly, the car hadn't been stored by Marston Group Ltd at all. A mute point perhaps as clearly some outfit stored it. That said, storage cannot exceed 5 working days in accordance with the CPR on these matters. Because of this I issued Court proceedings against Marston Group to recover their alleged 'storage fees' inter alia. Again, rather than resolve the matter as amicably as could be hoped for, Marston Group preferred to employ another expensive barrister, The Hearing took place last week at Blackpool Court and was heard by the Honourable District Judge Bryce. Again, on entering the Court, Marston Group handed to me their evidence. ..clearly this is a tactic of Marston Group and can now be expected *yawn* After almost 3hrs the Honourable District Judge Bryce ruled in my favour. Marston Group now have to return to me their 'alleged' storage fees. Some have asked if this refund amounts to a £25, £30, or exceeds £100. None are correct as what Marston Group have to stump up runs into the thousands of pounds they took from me. The District Judge also awarded me my Court costs and loss of earnings for the day. ..though XXXX who no doubt billed Marston Group a few thousand pounds for a full day's work, strenuously objected to me also receiving a full day's loss of earnings hence the Judge allowing me just half a day. As Tesco say's 'every little helps'. It has been written on CAG and elsewhere that Marston may Appeal this Judgement. ...clearly CAG are in the know on such matters. All I can say is that their Barrister did not request permission to Appeal from the District Judge. The fact that she did not request permission does not mean that Marston Group cannot Appeal. However, as they know, one cannot Appeal just because they fail in an action, one can only Appeal if the Judge erred in law and, to my knowledge District Judge Bryce hasn't. The Judgement is payable in 14 days and Marston's time is up this Thursday the 28th of August 2014. Should Marston Group fail to pay up, Judgement will be entered against them and I will then be at liberty to enforce the Judgement, which, ironically includes the sending in of the bailiffs to seize their goods though one must wonder which, if any, Bailiff Company or High Court Sheriff would actually do this and if given the task would make a serious attempt to seize Marston's goods. Only time will tell. These are the facts thus far about my Form 4 Complaint in Manchester aka 'Manchestergate' and my Court victory against Marston Group Ltd. Apologies for the length of this comment but much rubbish has been written about my matter and this at least for those interested, sets the record straight thus far. Finally, all I can say to the plethora of various people reading this reply both for and against me and/or the use/tactics of bailiffs, my matter with Marston Group is not over. Marston Group have proven to be not only bullies in the extreme, but liars and cheats. The ironery of it all is that these people are primarily employed by the Magistrates Courts. ..an Honourable body in existence to uphold all justice. It is now high time the UK Government brought in an Ombudsman to regulate and oversee all bailiff activity because in its current form, the system in situ is both unworkable and unacceptable despite the 2014 reforms.
