I need help. In January I have received a letter from Marston, stated that I have owned HMCS London Northwest £200. As last year I have fines because of sending late tax declaration form to inland revenue in similar height, assuming that was that debt so I rang Marston and ask to pay £100,the other half in the coming month, they agreed and took my money. I have since then heard nothing about them, until 27/03 when Mr HCEO arrive at 7:30 and left a Removal notice at the shop where I work and use the address for postal contact, because I am divorced since 2006 and share room only in London without a permanent address. I immediately rang him and told I have paid the initial £100, I am prepared to pay the rest £100 I own inland revenue, I still assumed that was the debt, I protest again the high fee Mr HCEO has added on the debt, and will only paid after I receive all the communications his office has sent me, because I have received no letter until that date,even if I am not at work,at the address where I work there were 2 other colleagues so it is impossible that nobody has missed his letters. He told me to make complaint against the royal post if I have received nothing regarding that debt since my initial payment, and refused to take only the out standing amount, but telling me I must pay full payment of £382. I rang his office to complain and ask they should send me all the communication so I can see how the extortion cost comes together, they told me I have to write to the office to complain.
On 30/03 Mr HCEO again come to the shop and left another Removal notice at 8:30 to arrange payment under the term of a warrant issued. I rang him again and told I have request his office to send me all the communications,I will write to Marston to complain about not receiving any letter, and will bring the matter plus the copies of communications to Citizen advise Bureau and OFT to verify the £280 cost he added up on the debt of £100 is reasonable,where only one remind letter is enough, as after receiving the first letter in January I have acted paid the initial half . Again I offer to pay the outstanding debt of £100 but reg the fee I pay only after seeing how it comes together, he refused and wanted the whole sum £382. I have record the conversation to the office on 27/03, and to Mr HCEO on 30/03.
Today 07/04 he arrived again at the shop about 6:00PM, I protest that he know I have rang his office on 27/03, I have rung him and request the copies of communications on 30/03 so he should know that I am not prepare to pay the whole sum before I have a chance to talk to OFT or CAB,or don;t know how the cost come together, I told him I wont sign anything and ask him to leave, he know very well I complain already but does not bring even one peace of letter which he told me he has sent. He then give me Notice of Distress, including Inventory and tell me I have 6days to pay or he will break the lock and remove the inventory of the shop which caused further cost. On the Distress he states
Sum O/S and costs £159
Bailiff fee £226
Why £159 left was only £100+£1 card charge!!!! Is 200% fee on the little debt reasonable when the debtor already prepaired to pay. He dont explain or show me anything.. Please help me. I don't know what to do, how to write a clear formal letter to his office, I feel this person pressures me into paying the wole sum only because something is wrongly putting together here, I read some posts on the Legal Beagles Consumer Forum and want to protest because firstly that the most common grounds for complaint against a bailiff are:-
* the charging of excessive fees, including charging for visits that they did not make
* letters they did not write or send
* aggressive, rude or threatening behaviour from the bailiff..
In my case I feel the two first points are true.
and secondly if they remove anything of a business then only goods belonging to the business can be seized, but; if they are necessary for the running of the business, they must not be taken.(bailiff_fees_high_court.doc) but he ignores that rule and take inventory of machines I need for the job at work.
thirdly even I talk to him on phone, and offer my payment he keep comming cause visit charge and bully me into paying the total sum, I fear he does to cause further visiting cost, while he could write to me or call me.
Should I pay to prevent further cost,then request the wrongly set fee back later, will I get them back? what can I do in the 6-day time he given me?
I read your post and feel you are a very competence person dealing with this matter, and you also know the person email inside Marston who one should contact to hear or read reg bailiff problem.
