Hello all! Any chance you could help?

[Mazza]

Hi. We are new to this forum &I wonder if anyone can help-feel really

desperate.

My partner had a fine thru Nottingham Magistrates Court for non payment of a

tv license. We did not file a defence which I admit was stupid. The fine was for

over £800- a bit excessive we felt.

I am in receipt of DLA & Income Support, there is no way we can afford to pay

this, so , again, stupidly, we hid our heads in the sand & didn't pay or try to

make a payment plan.

We have moved to the South West of the country now & have received a

letter from Phillips, a notice of Distress Warrant.

I tried to phone Nottingham Magistrates court who were very unhelpful. They

said it is too late to set up a payment plan with them as the matter was sent

to the baliffs on 14/9/2010. All they will do is confirm dates with my partner.

Is this right? I am a vulnerable person & my partner is my full time carer. Our

debt is with the magistrate surely, how can they refuse to allow us to pay

them?

Thanks in advance for any advice given

Mary
