collectica bailiffs

[cats21]

Hi I'm new here I'm having a bit of confusion with Collectica ,

 

I have a fine for no tv license , rang court and said that they would send a payment card which never came woman on phone did say that a final steps or whatever it is called would be sent but not to worry as payment card will arrive ten days , as said no card arrived.

 

I received a text message from Collectica before xmas saying to ring them and pay in full or arrange payment plan I tried to ring them several times and kept getting please wait while we find your file.

 

I tried again afterxmas and got same , on 23rd January a man came to my door handing me an envelope and demanding i ring named bailiff on opening letter it was a removal visit letter, the named bailiff said I had till 30th January to pay I explained I am on a claim for jsa my partner claims as I have a ten month old baby he said he didn't care and wanted full payment.

 

I went to CAB they rang n he still said full payment I received a text message on 29th from said bailiff saying I had till 9am to pay or he would be outnffrom 1pm on the 30th , on the Friday morning he sent another text saying 1 hour to pay if no payment to myself I office enforcement will be out at midday , he never arrived.

 

I'm confused as from what I have read on other forums I have not received a letter of notice of enforcement this hand delivered letter is first letter I've had , I'm panicking a bit as I am away for two days from Monday but my partner will be home

Did you know about the fine?

How much was the fine?

Did you attend Court?

Did you submit a statement of means?

Did you receive a Final Steps Notice?

Can you upload the letter you have? PDF format is best but remove all personal identifiers.

Hi thanks for getting back to me ,yes I knew about fine , the fine was £177 , I filled in a form that asked how I pleaded and sent it back to the court, I think at the time I didn't do a statement of means form , I rang courts and told them I couldn't pay full amount and the lady said she would send a payment card out to me which would be around ten days for it to arrive which it never she had said that a further steps notice had been issued but not to worry as card was being sent out ,

Cats,

 

From reading your question I cannot see any mention that you have spoken with the court about the payment card. Given that you received a text message before Christmas from Colletica you really should have called the court by now to ask about the card.

 

Secondly, you have said that you have never received a Notice of Enforcement from Colletica. As the payment card and letter come from two different sources it would be strange not to receive either of these letters.

 

You must call the court this morning and when you do you need to make sure that you ask them to confirm the address that they have on their records. It is possible that there is an error with your address.

 

Can you post back once you have spoken with the court.
