I received a notice of issue of warrant of control letter on 21st July.

 

I states that I have until 26th July to pay the amount on the letter or bailiffs will be coming to my house to seize and sell goods.

 

Of course I am panicking about this as I don't want bailiffs coming to my home.

 

I am currently on ESA benefits and cannot afford to pay what they are asking.

And they have only given me 5 days to do so!

 

I have been speaking with the creditor Lowell and I arranged to set up a monthly payment plan.

However the amount they set was too high as like I said I am on benefits, so they asked me to fill out an expenditure form to show how much I could afford.

 

I emailed this to them and heard nothing back.

And forgot about it to be honest.

 

The next thing is I receive this letter!

Please help!

Any advice is appreciated.

Hi welcome to CAG, could you give us a history of the debt please; was it prior to 2007 have you moved house since incurring the debt, and who was the Original Creditor? When did Lowell issue a claimform and did you defend?

 

Answering these questions will help the team frame the best advice for the circumstances.

 

There is no right of forced entry for a CCJ, so you don't have to let a bailiff in, if there is no car outside then there is little they can do.

We could do with some help from you.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I assume this was a forthwith judgment and no option to pay monthly ?

 

You shouldn't have rang Lowell to try to agree a payment plan...but submit a form N245 to the court to vary the forthwith to monthly affordable payments....you can also stay the execution (Bailiff) using the same form.

 

Fee is £50 but you should be exempt from fees.

The debt was a credit card from capital one back in 2008.

haven't moved house in that time.

think I have a claim form which was sent to me in 2015.

didn't respond.

 

 

when I received the ccj I was ordered to pay £50 a month and as I cannot afford that I asked for a lower amount to be set.

I completed an expenditure form and then the next communication was this letter.

 

 

If I don't answer the door to the bailiffs are they going to keep coming back?

I also don't have a car but neighbours park their cars outside my house on my street.

The income and expenditure form was with Lowell themselves.

 

Okay well now you will have to submit an n244 and ask for a redetermination.....you can also submit the n245 and stay the warrant.

Well after I completed the income And expenditure form from Lowell

they sent another letter titled confirmation of arrangement to pay your ccj to me saying a new amount of £40 had been set and my first payment was due 05/07/2017

 

 

however this was still too high and I contacted Lowell again and they asked for more details on my finances.

Then I heard nothing else until this letter

If I'd have paid the £40 as agreed by Lowell would the bailiffs still be coming?

So do I still go ahead submitting the form? The forms aren't going to get there before Wednesday before the bailiff says they are coming.

Beckz,

 

When Judgments are obtained, payment is either a forthwith order meaning that the total amount is due within a set number of days or alternatively, repayment is ordered by way of monthly payments. In your case, you were fortunate in that the court ordered monthly repayments. You contacted Lowell who agreed to accept a lower sum but even that figure of #40 per month was too much.

 

I would suggest that this morning you contact Lowell and explain the difficulty that you have in paying and ask whether they will agree to accept a lower sum. If they agree, then that is fine and the court will be notified accordingly. If they are not willing to accept the lower figure, it is for you to apply to the court on the N245 to have the judgment varied. Andy has provided details of the procedure above. Given that you are receiving ESA, I would assume that you would be exempt from paying the court fee.

 

You must call Lowell this morning. Please post back once you have done so.

It says dated 19th July 2017

 

Thank you Beckz,

 

In that case, the letter is correct. The courts provided that the once the warrant has been issued and passed to the Bailiff Manager, the Notice of Issue of Warrant must be sent and the date for payment is 7 days (not clear days) from issue date.

 

Please contact Lowell or submit the N245 application asap because; HMCourt rules specifically provide that the County Court bailiff MUST visit within 15 working days of receiving the warrant ( which should be 25 days from the issue date of the warrant).

Yes - You should mention this to them. It will not stop the bailiff visiting but it may well impact on his approach to recovering the debt. it may also help in persuading Lowell to accept your offer of repayment at a lower rate.

 

You obviously have not had many dealings with Lowell they would sell you grandmother for a £100 judgment to recoup payment.......submit an n244 and ask for a redetermination of the judgment amount £50...whether you wish to submit the n245 also to stay the Warrant is your choice for good measure.

 

This way the Court controls the monthly payment...not the DCA
