Marston Distress Letter

[romi.550]

Unfortunately, an offer of £10 would be refused. This is because the contract that the company have with the court gives them only a very limited time in which to enforce the debt.

 

The amout of £906 presumably includes bailiff fee of £310 (£75 Compliance fee and £235 Enforcement Fee). the amount of fine is therefore around £600.

 

Did you receive a summons?

 

Did you respond to the summons?

 

Did you enter a plea (guilty or not guilty)?

 

Did you complete the Means Statement attached to the summons?

 

Have you made any payments towards the fine?

 

 

I didn't received letter from court at my previous address,

 

They asked me to send Income and Expenditure Form I did,

than made £50PM payments for 2 months but than I couldn't afford

and the court sent it back to marston, now they are after me.

 

I can only afford about £10PM really or can stretch to £15PM

[ploddertom]

Not being nosy but what was the fine for?

The matter of 'affordability' of repayments is a subject that I am actually writing a report on at this present time. Many people on a low income or on benefits genuinly cannot afford even £5 per month but with court fines it needs to be made clear that if a debtor is in receipt of state benefits, the regulations actually state that if an attachment against benefits is made that the mimimum amount of deduction is set at £5 PER WEEK. Magistrate Courts are unable therefore to permit repayments at a rate lower than this.

I am slightly confused by your above answer.

 

Are you saying that you did not receive any documenation about this at your previous address?

 

Who asked you to complete an Income & Expenditure?

 

Who did you make payments to?

I rang Magistrate Court after looking at my Credit Report

Magistrate Court said I have to pay these fines

I said I can't afford it, so they sent me Income & Expenditure Form

I filled in, and they said I gota pay £50PM, I paid for 2 months

than I couldn't afford, so they sent the debt back to Marston. so please

tell me what shall I do.

[unclebulgaria67]

Do you have much in the way of possessions that Marstons could take to sell to pay the fine ? If you don't, you could invite them to where you are living for them to see for themselves. You may not want this, if you are staying with friends or family.

 

If you are on low income or benefits, the courts could arrange an attachment to your earnings, but i think you might struggle to get the court to deal with it, unless Marstons hand it back to them.

[mikeymack2002]

The wording on the NoE looks all wrong is this correct as "distress" is no longer a term used?

[mikeymack2002]

Why are Marstons enforcing at a different address as well?

[romi.550]

Hi I just received a letter from Marston its a Notice of Enforcement letter.

 

They have sent this letter on behalf of Courts & Tribunals Service. for the amount of £561.67

and I have to pay this by 08/06/2016 otherwise they will take a serious action against me,

and with there cost Inc the total amount I have to pay now is £636.67

 

Before I had this letter I was paying direct to Tribunal court directly with the payment card

but I ran into some financial difficulties and also with the family bereavement

I had to leave the country for 2 months

 

now Tribunal wont take this as an excuse and that charges which were about £250 gone upto £636.67,

I have tried speaking direct with Tribunal to arrange that payment method again

but they refused as they said I have no ground..

 

. please please help me I am already in so much stress right now,

I know its my fault but I am already paying the minimum payments to my other debtors

but I think its a disgrace paying £636.67 and not the original amount which is only about £250.

 

Please any help and information will be highly appreciated.

 

Regards

[dx100uk]

other debts?

list them are they priority debts...

not like this one that could end up losing your liberty.

 

 

did you inform the Courts & Tribunals Service you were leaving.

before you went?

[romi.550]

Yeh I'm paying back to HCE, Lowell and Capital one !!

 

No I did not told them when I left, when I came back I did not received any letters at all, I called them again but they said no my case has been transferred to Marston

but I can assure you I did not received any correspondence at all.

 

Thanks

Is this debt anything to do with a fine that you had last year?

[dx100uk]

Lowell and cap1 drop them to £1PCM

who is HCE?

[romi.550]

Yeh that's correct it's the same fine !!

[romi.550]

Lowell and cap1 drop them to £1PCM

who is HCE?

 

Highcourt Enforcement

[dx100uk]

so you are still pay HCEO for the Uni Fee CCJ from 2015 [the HCE debt your mention]

and this debt is the sorn one from 2013 and a new court fine for recently speeding?

No this is an old fine,

 

 

I've started paying them off but because of financial difficulties and bereavement in the family

it was very difficult to make ends meet,

 

 

I forgot about it, when I remember to pay them again court said no they can't arrange a payment plan

again it has to be dealt with Marston and

 

 

now I receive this letter from Marston to pay that off in full.

hich is not possible with my current circumstances.

[dx100uk]

I was referring to this thread

you said later its the same fine

now you are saying its not

which is it?

[romi.550]

Yes it is the same fine I have written before

[dx100uk]

so where has the speeding fine come from?

anyway

people now have the complete history

I've merged the threads.

 

and will advise.

as mentioned here

and I see in the last time

I hope you are not wasting money paying those DCA's still?

they are not a priority

you need to use the money you pay them to pay these fines off.

 

its been going on far too long

no wonder you are getting charges

STOP PAYING THE DCA'S PAY THIS FINE OFF.

[Lowell and cap1 debts]

[Bailiff Advice]

Yes it is the same fine I have written before

 

Reading back on your earlier posts it would seem that Marston Group attempted to enforce a warrant against you last year and failed.

 

They returned the debt back to the court and payment arrangements were set up. Bailiff fees would have been removed.

 

It would seem that you have again defaulted on paying the court and once again, a warrant has been sent to Marston Group.

 

When the account was sent back by Marston Group last year, did you contact the court to ask whether you could have your financial means reviewed?

 

What payment arrangement did the court agree with you?

 

How many payments have you missed?

[romi.550]

Hi Thanks for the reply I really appreciate all your help guys,

 

well I have tried contacting court but they said the cant do anything have to contact marston,

 

I was in so much financial stress I was dreading calling them honestly, I

 

have tried to contact court and ask them to reconsider but they refused,

 

I need to sort this out asap as the deadline date is tomorrow.

 

I have missed 2 payments then they cancelled the payment plan.

 

court agreed on £50/PCM

 

Thanks

I am struggling here with the background to this fine.

 

Looking back at your thread, it would seem, (although I could be wrong) that you had a fine in 2013 and also in 2015 and now in 2016.

 

Is the fine that is being pursued today the same one that was being enforced in 2013?

I know it's probably very confusing but it's the same fine I had in 2013
