Marstons bailiffs help please!!! **Returned to Court**

[citizenB]

Can you please let us know if the bailiff did arrive and what happened ?

[essexdiva]

No they have not turned up although I know they will so now going to spend the night worrying myself sick.

I feel bad enough as it's totally unsettled my mum and brother she can't settle has been crying and won't eat.

I asked the magistrates to see if I could go back to court to see what could be done but they said we can do nothing as the bailiffs have the warrant.

I'm not saying I won't pay I'm offering 4 x the amount I'm supposed to pay but they won't accept it they want the full amount.

If they come in the court told me they can only go in the room I'm in and they can't take anyone else's things but I get conflicted advice as the bailiff said she can take what she wants and whoever it belongs to is no concern of hers!!

I'm pulling my hair out with worry because I know she will get the court order to get into our home with a locksmith and take everything she can.

Thank you for your messages just wish I knew how to stop it all!!

[Bailiff Advice]

Can you post back to state how much the bailiff is wanting from you. You say above that the debt is for just £40 so with bailiff fees of £310 ( £75 and £235) I am assuming that the amount is £350.

 

What payment proposal have you offered?

[essexdiva]

Sorry for the confusion the debt is £1,500

The fine was to be paid at £20 per week.

I missed the October payment so they sent it to the bailiffs.

The 2 subsequent payments made to the court were sent onto marstons!!!

I offered to pay marstons £80 per month instead of £20 but they are refusing any payment plan they want the full payment or the goods from my mum's house!!

Just to repeat what has ben said earlier. If they have not ben into your property before You do not need to let them in nor should you under any

circumstances. They cannot force their way in but if you don't pay they

can apply to the Court to force entry.

 

As rare and unlikely as it is that marstons will force entry - it does happen and it is on the up.

For future reference, they do not need to go back and apply for permission (clause 5.1 forced entry protocol)

 

as for this case, i would suggest calling the office at marstons, and ask to speak to the welfare department, outlining the disabilities of the persons at the address and if necessary sending proof of this and ask that the enforcement agent is put on hold whilst you send in the proof of vulnerbility

[essexdiva]

Thank you.

I actually spoke to head office at marathons and they said they can do nothing as it's in the bailiffs hands.

I explained about my mum and brother but they won't budge.

I will try again tomorrow first thing but I think she will be here 8am.

[essexdiva]

Sorry marstons not marathons.

What will happen now is that Marston Group will return your account to the court in their weekly returns. This should be a week today.

 

You should wait a few days and I would suggest that you speak with the court next Friday to ask whether the warrant has been returned. If it has, you should ask the Fines office whether they will allow you to attend court to have your 'means' re-assessed. This is a very simple procedure indeed and the court will require you to complete a simple Means Enquiry Form. The court can then adjust the fine downwards based on your ability to pay.

 

Please do let us know what the court say next week.

Thank you for your information I did wonder what will happen

Everyone on here has been amazing.
